Series User’s Manual

In order to play a DVD on your LCD screen, you should have the screen

set to the default resolution for your unit and 16-bit color (64K colors). If you use another set- ting, your DVD playback might lose clarity or the software might be unable to function.

For best DVD playback, you should direct output to either the LCD screen

or your external monitor (if present). Attempting to play on both displays can affect DVD performance.

If your DVD player soft- ware does not start right up, you can start the

software manually: Start/ Programs/CyberLinkPowerDVD/ PowerDVD.

DVD

If your WinBook notebook came equipped with a DVD-ROM drive, you will be able to use this drive to run software on DVD or to watch movies stored in DVD format. Your WinBook notebook comes equipped with software MPEG-2 support that will play video at 24 frames per second. MPEG-2 compresses video signals for quicker transmission. This compres- sion standard is adequate for smooth DVD video playback. If you require even more precise video playback, you can look into a hardware MPEG-2 decoder on a PCMCIA card.

Movies on DVD provide menus and additional information about the movie. The software DVD player will provide access to these additional features of the DVD. Insert the DVD disk into your drive and close the drive door. The computer will identify the disk as a DVD-ROM and launch the DVD player software. Once your player has launched, you will be able to control the playback of your media through the DVD in three ways:

•You can use the DVD control panel to control playback and other features of your DVD. (Figure 6.4)

•You can right-click on the DVD display and use the pop-up menu to control DVD playback and other features of your DVD.
