DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc. Due to wide spreading of this disk as a media for high-quality video distribution, DVD is often called Digital Video Disc. But most people just use the abbreviation - DVD without specifying what V is. A DVD disc and a CD disc look the same (both 120mm diameter). But that's the end of the "sameness". It's essentially a bigger (not in size, but capacity), faster CD that can hold cinema-like video, better-than-CD audio, and computer data. DVD aims to encompass home entertainment, computers, and business information with a single digital format, eventually replacing audio CD, videotape, laserdisc, CD-ROM, and perhaps even video game cartridges. DVD has widespread support from all major electronics companies, all major computer hardware companies, and all major movie and music studios. With this unprecedented support, DVD has become the most successful consumer electronics product of all time in less than three years of its introduction.

Q: Why region code be protected?
A: The major movie producers in the world have set the standard to divide the world into 6 regions and require the DVD released within in these 6 regions to be set with region code to protect their interest. Hence, theaters and families in each region will not be able to obtain cheaper discs from those cheaper regions and has to purchase from the normal channels so as to safeguard their interest. DVD X Player allows for the user to set a different region code for 5 times. After setting of 5 times, the player will only watch the DVD set for the region or discs locked for all regions.

Q: How many types of region code protection in DVD-ROM hardware itself?
A: The region code protection in DVD-ROM hardware may be classed into 2 types: A. Phase I (with no region code protection): The hardware itself will not protect the region and the region code is protected by the software. In the case of DVD X Player, you may confirm if you have change the region code for 5 times. If yes, DVD X Player will use the last set region code as the final setting and lock the region code. B. Phase II (with region code protection): Use the set region code protect on the hardware as the one for watching movies. As this is the protection by the hardware itself, you should consult DVD-RMO manufacturer for detail information. DVD X Player will base on the region code set in the DVD-ROM.

Q: My computer has MPEG2 hardware decoding and compression card already. Can I still use DVD X Player?
A: DVD X Player may be compatible with hardware compression card, but cannot be run simultaneously with the hardware compression card.

Q: Can all functions of DVD X Player be used in VCD?
A: Yes

Q: Can I use frame capture function during playing VCD movie?
A: Yes, DVD X Player v1.0 provides frame capture function and you can use this function during DVD or VCD playing.

Q: I got an error message "This DVD-Video content is protected by Macrovision. The system does not satisfy Macrovision requirement. Can't continue playing this disc", what is it?
A: Macrovision errors usually indicate a failure to authenticate the Macrovision-protected video content on a DVD disc. Macrovision is the analog copy protection applied to most DVD, in order to prevent them from being copied to video tape. Your system, particularly your video card and drivers, must be configured properly. Otherwise, Macrovision errors may occur. There can be several possible causes of this problem:
  • Improperly Configured Video Drivers: Make sure you install video drivers according to the manufacturer specifications. Detailed instructions for properly installing or upgrading video drivers are usually included in a readme file that accompanies the driver files.
  • Incompatible Software or Drivers: Please make sure that your DVD decoder is fully compatible with your current system configuration. This includes video card, version of Windows, version of DirectX, etc. Be sure to visit the decoder's website for information about system requirements if you are not completely sure of compatibility.
  • TV Out Feature May Be Activated: On most notebook PC's, as well as some desktop computers, the display adapter has a TV Out feature. If you are viewing DVD video on a computer, you should make sure that only the display that is currently in use is active. For instance, if you have a laptop and you do not have an external monitor or TV connected to it, make absolutely sure that this feature is not currently activated. If it is, then the video hardware will be trying to send a signal to both places, and an error is likely to occur.
  • No Support For Macrovision In Video Drivers: This is becoming a rare issue, but it can still happen. Older video cards (mainly, models released before 1997) probably will not support Macrovision. In addition, some video card makers can sometimes release driver updates even for current models that are incorrectly configured for Macrovision support. In these cases, the solution would be to either replace the video card with a newer model, or install a set of drivers that include Macrovision support in them; depending on what the situation may be.
  • Insufficient Video Resources: Sometimes a lack of hardware resources can trigger a Macrovision error. You may want to change your display to 800x600 pixels and High Color (16-Bit), and see if this makes any difference. Also, if you have recently replaced your monitor or have your system connected to a different monitor than it usually uses, make sure that Windows is not still configured to use the previous monitor model. This too can trigger a Macrovision error.

Q: What if I lost my registration coder?
A: Do not worry! We will send you the code again, as long as you tell us as much order information as possible.

Q: My problem isn't here!
A: Please send an e-mail to support@dvd-x-player.com, we will reply you as soon as possible.

There are 4 standard formats. D10 and D18 are not as common.

A DVD-5 (single sided) DVD-Video disc will hold nominally 133 minutes of high quality MPEG-2 encoded video, together with three surround-sound audio channels and four subtitle channels. (Without video compression one DVD-5 disc would hold only about 3 minutes of video).

A DVD-9 (dual layer) disc increases the playing time to 240 minutes of continuous video.

A DVD-10 (double sided) disc will hold a nominal 133 minutes on each side (ie 266 minutes in all), but the disc needs to be turned over to play the other side.

A DVD-18 (dual layer, doubled sided) disc can hold 240 minutes on each side and the disc also needs to be turned over to play the other side.

Most DVD is D9 or D5 format. DVD-Cloner can clone D9 to just ONE DVDr/rw disc (D5 format) without evident losing.
