To Play DVD Movies

If your notebook is equipped with a DVD or other DVD-readable
drive, it also includes DVD player software that lets you play
DVD movies.
»
Select Start > All Programs > Multimedia > DVD Player >
InterVideo WinDVD.
✎
For best performance while playing movies on battery power, set
the Control Panel Power Scheme to Portable/Laptop.
✎
DVDs can have regional codes embedded in the disc data. These
codes prevent DVD movies from being played outside the region
of the world in which they are sold. If you get a region code error,
you are trying to play a DVD intended for a different region.
Most DVD drives let you change the region code only a limited
number of times (usually no more than 4). When you reach this
limit, your last change to the region code will be hard-coded on
the DVD drive and will be permanent. Your warranty does not
cover the expense of correcting this situation. Refer to the Help
for your DVD player software for details about setting region
codes.

To Create or Copy CDs

If your notebook is equipped with a DVD/CDRW combo drive, it
also includes software such as Roxio Easy CD Creator that lets
you copy or create CDs. Follow the instructions that are included
with the software. Read and write quality may vary by media.
