Playing a DVD
A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is similar to a standard CD but has greater data 
capacity. Because of this increased capacity, full-length movies, several albums 
of music, or several gigabytes of data can fit on a single disc. You can play DVDs 
with the InterVideo DVD Player program or Windows Media Player. For more 
information about playing DVDs, click 
Help in the DVD player program.
