Viewing a DVD movie

After you install the CD-RW/DVD drive and WinDVD, you can view a DVD
movie. You first need to set the DVD region code for your DVD content,
however.
DVD region codes
Regional coding is part of the scheme for protecting the contents of a DVD.
The world is divided into six regions so that specific content can be viewed
only in the region where it is appropriate. For example, content for Region 1
(U.S. and Canada) can be viewed only in Region 1. WinDVD is also
region–specific.
You can verify the region code of the content by looking at the region code
symbol on the back of the content packaging.
Table 1-1.

Start WinDVD by inserting the DVD into the drive. The region code is
automatically set and you can see the movie. This is the initial setting.
After the region code has been set, if you insert a DVD whose region code is
different, you are prompted if you want to change the region code. You can
change the region code from your initial setting up to four times.
