using country/region codes

Most DVD discs have country/region codes embedded in the disc data that limit where the DVD movie can be played.

The country/region number is usually placed over a world globe printed on the DVD packaging and disc. DVDs without country/region codes will play on any player or drive in any country/region.

WARNING: You can change countries/regions only five times before the country/region code locks and becomes permanent. Once the code locks, you can play DVDs from that country/region only. If the country/region code locks, and you need help, contact Support.

WinDVD is not pre-set to a particular country/region — the country/region code of the first DVD movie you play determines your DVD country/region.

For example, if you play a DVD with a country/region 1 code, WinDVD sets the current country/region of your DVD player to 1. If you later play a DVD that is coded for a different country/region, WinDVD asks if you want to set this as the current country/region.

playing video cds

You can play MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) videos. These MPEG-1 files have a .dat or .mpg extension.

To play a Video CD, insert the CD into a CD drive or a DVD drive, and use either Windows Media Player or InterVideo WinDVD Player program. Refer to “playing cds and dvds with windows media player” on page 51, or to “playing dvd movies with the intervideo windvd player” on page 52.

NOTE: The InterVideo WinDVD Player program is included only with PC models that have a DVD drive.
