Applicable to: United States, Canada
Q. Do DVDs autoplay?
A1. Data DVDs autoplay just like data CDs.
A2. DVD Videos will autoplay if DVD Express is open when the disk is inserted.
Q. Why don't the DVD Express skip buttons work for CD Audio?
A. CD Audio appears to be only one chapter to Microsoft DirectShow.
Q. Why doesn't the movie fill the screen?
A1. It might be a letterboxed movie, and black bars at bottom and top are part of the show.
A2. Computer monitors have a built-in black border around the screen
A3. Native mode for the DVD Express software (720x480) is less than 800x600. Maximize the window for fullscreen viewing.

Q. Can I perform background tasks while viewing a movie?

(CSS) requires that the DVD restart each time the connection is reestablished.
