Now you are ready to play DVDs. If you have already set your region code,
skip 1:
Insert your DVD disc. Click Play.
A warning message or copyright information will appear
depending on the DVD title. Usually, this content cannot be skipped over.
NOTE: If the navigational slider's color is not uniform,
some warning messages and the like may be skipped over. If the color
is uniform, this signifies that this video segment is not controlled
by PowerDVD and that shuttling (i.e. fast forwarding) will be
disengaged.
After all the promotional content, you will be presented
with the main menu. With your mouse, choose a selection and click once.
To use the menu pad,
click the outer button to the farthest right of the user interface and a pad
will appear. Click the button in the middle to Enter.
The DVD will begin playing.
To Stop
or Pause,
click them accordingly.
NOTE: If you click Stop, the DVD will cease to play. If
you would like to watch the DVD again, you will have to endure the
warning messages and the menu selections again. The most efficient way
would be to go back to the title menu through the Menu
in the Control Area.
Step Frame Functions
These functions are available when the DVD is in pause mode. The Step
Forward button
will go forward one frame. The Step Backward
button
steps backward but will only return to the I-frames within a group of frames. An
I-frame makes up the reference frame within a
group of pictures (GOP), which is a technology
that forms the basis of MPEG technology (refer to What
is MPEG? for more information).
Playback Menu
Another great feature is a shortcut menu for titles and chapters. Point with
your cursor and position it on the Play button. Then, right
click for the menu.
The check mark signifies the current playback title while the arrows to the
right of the title signify further selections in the form of chapters. Simply
use your mouse and point it at the desired title and it will be highlighted. If
there are further chapter selections, that menu will also appear. Click once
when you have decided on the chapter or title.
NOTE: Generally, a DVD title/movie consists of titles,
with each title possessing a number of chapters.
Instead of calling out the chapters' menu, another method is to select the Browser
by clicking once on it:
The red pointer signifies which chapter you are playing currently. Simply
select a chapter and click Go To or Close
to exit.
