Using the Optical Drive Software
Starting a DVD Movie

The first time you insert a movie into the media tray, you will be prompted to select what you want the system
to do when discs are inserted (i.e., start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you make a selection, you will
receive the same prompt whenever you insert a disc.
