Tips: How to play a DVD on your DVD player?
Playing DVD movies on a DVD player is generally a straightforward business. Provided that the file stored on the disc is of the standard format recognizable by the player, all a user has to do is to pop the disc in. The DVD player will automatically scan the disc and read the files in it. Once it had found all the compatible files, the interactive menu of the DVD will come out on the screen, if it is available. Otherwise, the movie will play immediately.
If the DVD fails to load, the problem could be one of two things - the files in the DVD are not burned properly or they are not compatible with the player at all. For cases like these, troubleshoot the problem and address it accordingly.
