Starting WinDVD

When you insert a DVD Video disc into the drive, the DVD Player software will automatically start and begin to play the video disc. Under Windows XP, you will be given a choice of which player to use from all the players installed on your system.

If the DVD disc contains both video and program content, the program content will automatically play. To view the video content of a video or program DVD disc, go to the Start menu, launch WinDVD, and click Play.

With Microsoft Windows XP, you can also play DVD Video content by using the Windows Media Player application.

Changing the DVD region code

Regionalization and Copy Protection (the DVD region code) uses the content scramble system (CSS) standard to prevent unauthorized duplication of the intellectual property rights distributed on DVDs. It was originally requested by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to address video piracy, but is applicable to any content. CSS works by inhibiting the transmission of unencrypted data without proper authorization. Playback systems must license CSS to decode the encrypted data.

The CSS specification divides the world into seven unique regions. Content designated for one region cannot be read by playback systems in another region. While CSS is used to prevent digital copies of the DVD content, another technology devised by Macrovision is used to prevent analog copies of the DVD content. The Macrovision standard is a scrambling system widely used by the movie industry to prevent unauthorized duplication of video content using commercial VCRs. DVD playback systems must support both CSS and Macrovision copy protection standards.

The first time that you insert a DVD Video disc into the drive, you will be prompted to set the region. If you relocate to a different region of the world, you can use the DVD Player software to change the region code.

Note: You can change the DVD region code only five times. After you make five region code changes, the drive can play only MPEG-2 video titles that are associated with the fifth region code that you set.

To change the region code, do the following:

1.Turn on your computer and start your operating system.

2.Click Start.

3.Select Programs.

4.Click Intervideo WinDVD.

5.Click Intervideo WinDVD.

6.Click the Properties icon to open the Properties window.

7.Click the General Properties tab.

8.Insert a single region DVD of the new region.

9.Select the correct region code for your country.

10.Click OK.

The following components are not present in all Microsoft Operating systems but are required to operate WinDVD: IDE DMA, Internet Explorer 5, and DirectX 8.1. This section provides instructions for updating various operating systems to enable DVD playback. See Appendix C, “Customizing the device driver configuration settings,” on page C-1for information on enabling DMA bus mastering and for locating video device drivers.
