HP 503k (AP), 703k (AP), 743a (AP) Understanding DVD Terminology, Using the WinDVD Control Panel

Understanding DVD Terminology

To understand the DVD controls, you should be familiar with DVD terminology. Each DVD can hold one or more titles. Most full-length movies have only one title on the DVD, but some DVDs include several short movies, with each movie being a separate title.

Each title is divided into multiple chapters.

A chapter is a particular segment or scene in the movie. When watching a DVD movie, you have the ability to jump to the next chapter, the previous chapter, or to a specific chapter.

A single image in a movie is called a frame.

Using the WinDVD Control Panel

The WinDVD control panel automatically appears when you insert a DVD.

If you are playing a movie full screen and the panel is hidden, you can redisplay it as follows:

1Right-click anywhere in the video window.

2Select View.

3Click Player. The control panel appears.

￿To see what a button does on the control panel, place the mouse pointer on the button; the button title appears onscreen.
