Using the WinDVD control panel

The WinDVD control panel resembles the control panel of a

standard home DVD player.

TECHNICAL NOTE: The DVD author determines what features the

DVD supports. Depending on the DVD format and your computer’s

hardware configuration, some of the control panel features may be

unavailable when playing a DVD. Unsupported features may not

appear or may appear gray, and you cannot select them.

Sample WinDVD control panel

You can open a shortcut menu by positioning the cursor over

the WinDVD window (other than over the control panel),

then clicking the secondary button. The shortcut menu

contains the same features as the control panel, plus the

enable caption feature, which displays captions for the

hearing impaired.

You can also create a playlist, to customize the order in which

the DVD content plays. Once a DVD is playing, the counter

displays the current chapter and elapsed time, in

hours:minutes:seconds format.
