Starting WinDVD
When you insert a DVD Video disc into the drive, the DVD Player software will
automatically start and begin to play the video disc. Under Windows XP, you will
be give a choice of which player to use from all of the players installed on your
computer system.
If the DVD disc contains both video and program content, the program content
will automatically play. To view the video content of a video or program DVD
disc, go to the Start menu, launch WinDVD, and click Play.
In Windows XP you can also play DVD Video content by using the Windows
Media Player application.
Changing the DVD region code
Regionalization and Copy Protection (the DVD region code) uses the content
scramble system (CSS) standard to prevent unauthorized duplication of the
intellectual property rights distributed on DVDs. It was originally requested by the
Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to address video piracy, but is
applicable to any content. CSS works by inhibiting the transmission of
unencrypted data without proper authorization. Playback systems must license
CSS to decode the encrypted data.
The CSS specification divides the world into seven unique regions. Content
designed for one region cannot be read by playback systems in another region.
While CSS is used to prevent digital copies of the DVD content, another
technology devised by Macrovision is used to prevent analog copies of the DVD
content. The Macrovision standard is a scrambling system widely used by the
movie industry to prevent unauthorized duplication of video content using
commercial VCRs. DVD playback systems must support both CSS and Macrovision
copy protection standards. The first time that you insert a DVD Video disc into the
drive, you will be prompted to set the region. If you relocate to a different region
of the world, you can use the DVD Player software to change the region code.
To change the region code, do the following:
1. Turn on your computer and start your operating system.
2. Click Start.
3. Select Programs.
