Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs)
look like CDs, but they store
movies. DVDs store about 28
times more information than
video CDs.
The DVD drive will take a few
seconds to start playback
because it must first determine
the type of media being played.
For the best playback quality,
close all other applications in
the background while playing
aDVD.
Using the DVD Player
