PLAYING A DVD

If your PC has a DVD drive, you can use your PC to watch prerecorded DVD movies. When you insert a DVD in your DVD drive, your PC should sense the presence of the DVD, launch Windows Media Player, and start playing the movie. (You can also initiate playback from within WMP by pulling down the Play menu and selecting DVD.)

Insert the DVD into your PC's DVD drive.

Double-click Play DVD Video Using Windows Media Player.

The movie should start playing automatically. To pause the movie, click the Pause button; then click Play to resume playback.

To view the movie full-screen, click the Full Screen button; press Esc to return to normal viewing mode.

Click the Next button to go to the next chapter on the DVD, or click the Previous button to go to the previous chapter.

Go to any specific chapter by double-clicking the chapter name.
