Playing Video CD

Slideshows

Slideshows that are recorded onto video CDs (VCDs) cannot be played in Windows Media Center. You can play them in the InterVideo WinDVD program.

Windows Media Center can play your recorded DVDs and VCDs that don’t have slideshows.

Playing Recorded TV

Programs

Most television broadcasters do not encrypt programs, so a recording can be played on any Media Center PC. A recording of a broadcaster- encrypted TV program, though, can be played only on the PC that recorded it. To protect your ability to play recorded TV programs, follow the instructions in “Safeguarding Your Recorded TV Programs” in this document.

Note: To copy a recorded TV show to DVD to view on a home DVD player, see “Copying Recorded TV Programs to DVD.”

Safeguarding Your Recorded TV Programs

When you record TV programs using Media Center, the TV program broadcaster may have an encryption code that Microsoft includes as a special code in the recorded files. This code is keyed to your PC and is required to play broadcaster-encrypted TV programs previously recorded to your hard disk drive, copied to DVD, or copied to other media. When you perform a system recovery or replace the hard disk drive in your PC, you lose the special code.
