Chapter 7: Using Multimedia 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/tap Help in the DVD player program. To play a DVD: 1 Make sure that the speakers are turned on or headphones are plugged in and that the volume is turned up. 2 Turn off your screen saver and standby timers. 3 To play a DVD using InterVideo DVD, click/tap Start, All Programs, DVD, then click/tap DVD Player. The InterVideo DVD Player video screen and control panel open. -OR- To play a DVD using Windows Media Player, click/tap Start, All Programs, then click/tap Windows Media Player. The Windows Media Player opens. Important If the InterVideo DVD player is not on your Start menu, and if Windows Media Player cannot play a DVD, you will need to install the InterVideo DVD program. To install the InterVideo DVD program, insert the InterVideo DVD Software disc into your DVD drive and follow the on-screen instructions. 4 Insert a DVD into the DVD drive, then click/tap (play). The DVD plays. Use the volume controls in the DVD player to adjust the volume. For more information on using the DVD player, see its online help. Important If the drive you want to use is not in the modular bay, you need to swap modules. For more information about swapping modules, see "Changing modules" on page 110. 124 www.gateway.com
