If your computer cannot currently play DVD-Videos, then you should review the system requirements listed below.

Note: All DVD-Video discs can be played through a standard DVD player and television.

• Pentium 2 400MHz or faster (Macintosh G3 450 or faster).
• 128MB+ RAM.
• Windows 98SE or higher (Macintosh OS 9.2.2 or higher)
• DVD-ROM drive.
• DVD-Video codecs (COmpression/DECompression software - these are usually installed alongside DVD hardware).
• A video player application that can use the DVD-Video codecs.

DVD-Video player software (with codecs) may be purchased online for around £10 from a variety of vendors - these may require a higher specification computer than that listed above.
These are frequently available as 'try before you buy' demonstration downloads. You may also be able to locate players with open-source code and codecs (i.e. 'freeware') - for example 'Video Lan Client' (http://www.videolan.org), 'K-Lite', (http://www.k-litecodecpack.com) which are less processor-intensive, and therefore can provide better performance on older computers.

Search for, and review user-groups or forums to determine whether specific software is appropriate for your use. e.g: visit and enter 'download DVD (codec, decoder)' in the 'Search' text box.

Always virus-scan all downloaded software with up-to-date anti-virus software and virus definitions.

PC users should be experienced in installing software through the 'Add/Remove Programs' control panel - this will allow you to easily remove software that does not meet your requirements.
Macintosh users should follow installation instructions provided with the relevant software.
