These are discussed in more detail in the Cinema of this guide.

Play Movie:
Click Play Movie to watch a movie from your optical disc drive. Depending in
the type of optical drive installed in your computer, you can play movies from
Blu-Ray discs, standard DVDs and video CDs (VCDs) with the Cinema function of

player.
When you insert a disk into the DVD drive, the movie begins playing
automatically. To control the movie, the pop-up player control panel appears at
the bottom of the window when you move the pointer.
