Watching DVDs on an
XP Media Center PC
One of the most seductive qualities of the Windows Media Center
machine is its chameleon-like capability to take on the characteristics of
so many different devices, effectively eliminating your need for numer-
ous standalone entertainment components such as a home stereo sys-
tem, a television, and, not least, a DVD player.
The basic DVD playback features of Media Center are designed to be as
simple and straightforward to operate as those of any conventional
DVD player. However, many of these standalone players have expanded
their resume in recent years, adding advanced capabilities to fine-tune
your DVD watching experience.
