Playing Video CDs and DVDs with
Intervideo WinDVD
InterVideo WinDVD is an application that enables you to play
video CDs and DVD movies. WinDVD is preloaded, but not
preinstalled, on the notebook.
Installing WinDVD
HP recommends that you install WinDVD from the Software
Setup utility before inserting a DVD.
✎
This application will not install successfully unless your
notebook is equipped with an optical drive (integrated or attached
through the MultiBay or an optional Advanced Port Replicator)
that has DVD+R capability.
To install WinDVD, open the Software Setup utility:
■ In Windows 2000, select Start > Programs > Software Setup.
■ In Windows XP, select Start > All Programs > Software
Setup.
A setup wizard loads, and a list of applications is displayed.
Select WinDVD and follow the instructions on the screen.
✎
Some DVDs contain third-party DVD player programs such as
PCFriendly. If you insert a DVD that contains a non-HP player
program before you have installed WinDVD, you are prompted to
install the non-HP player program and not WinDVD. If you
prefer to install WinDVD, decline the non-HP player installation,
then close the installation window.
