Playing Video CDs and DVDs with
InterVideo WinDVD
InterVideo WinDVD is an application that enables you to play
DVD movies or video CDs. WinDVD is preinstalled on the
notebook. Some DVDs contain third-party DVD player programs
such as PCFriendly that may interfere with WinDVD.
Installing WinDVD
If WinDVD has been uninstalled and you insert a DVD that
contains a non-HP player program, you are prompted to install
that non-HP player program.
If you prefer to use WinDVD, decline the non-HP player
installation, close the installation window, and re-install
WinDVD.
To re-install WinDVD:
1. Select Start > All Programs > Software Setup. A setup wizard
loads, and a list of applications is displayed.
2. Select WinDVD and follow the instructions on the screen.
For more information about WinDVD, select Help on the
WinDVD menu bar.
Playing a Video CD or DVD
For best playback quality, save and close all files and software
unrelated to playing the DVD or video CD.
If a DVD displays a Playback Of Content From This Region Is
Not Permitted error message, stop the DVD, change the region
setting, then restart the DVD. For information about changing the
region setting, refer to “Changing DVD Region Settings” in this
chapter.
