Using Intervideo WinDVD Player software

This section describes how to use and customize the Intervideo WinDVD Player. You can find current information on Intervideo WinDVD Player in the readme file on the User’s Guide and Software CD.

Before using the software

WinDVD requires a compatible video device driver and IDE bus mastering in order to work. See Appendix A, “Customizing the device driver configuration settings,” on page 13 for information on enabling DMA bus mastering and for locating video device drivers.

Using WinDVD

When you insert a DVD Video disc into the drive, the Intervideo WinDVD Player will automatically start and begin to play the video disc. If the DVD disc contains both video and program content, the program content will automatically play.

To view the video content of a video/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.
