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.

1Make sure that the speakers are turned on or headphones are plugged in 
and that the volume is turned up.

For more information on using the DVD player, see its online help.
ImportantIf the InterVideo DVD player is not on your Start menu, or
