Playing DVDs
If you have a DVD drive, you can use Media Player to watch DVD movies. The Play menu lets you display closed captions and subtitles, choose a language track, and use other movie-specific features.
Tips
To play a DVD's special features, choose View > DVD Features > Root Menu.The Play menu contains commands for using a DVD's language and subtitle features.
To capture a DVD image as a bitmap or JPEG file, choose View > DVD Features > Capture Image (or press Ctrl+I). To turn on the image-capture feature, choose Tools > Options > Performance tab > Advanced; then, in the DVD Video area, check Use Video Mixing Renderer.
Media Player also can play VCDs (video CDs).
To play a DVD:
1. Insert a DVD into your computer's DVD drive.
2. Depending on the AutoPlay settings that you made (refer to Figure 10.8), Media Player opens automatically or offers to do so.
If not, open Media Player; then choose Play > DVD, VCD or CD Audio >

Figure 10.32. In full-screen mode, the playback controls appear automatically when you move the mouse and disappear after the mouse is idle for a few seconds. To control playback, you can right-click the movie or use the keyboard shortcuts listed in Table 10.4. The playlist (on the right) divides the movie into discrete "chapters"; double-click a chapter to jump to a particular scene. An exclamation mark (!) next to the chapter name means that the player can't skip to that chapter.

DVD Decoders
DVD playback requires a software
decoder. If you bought your system with Windows and a DVD drive installed, you probably can play any DVD on your PC as is. If you have an older system, you may have to download and install a decoder from the internet. If Media Player is unable to play a DVD, it displays an error message that links you to Microsoft's web site, where you can purchase (for about $15 U.S.) and download a DVD Decoder Pack. But first check your computer or DVD-drive manufacturer's web site for free, updated XP DVD decoders.
