How to Open and Play Any videos and DVDs on RealTimes or RealPlayer

How do I play DVDs in RealTimes or RealPlayer?

DVD playback works best with a RealTimes Premium or Unlimited subscription, or in RealPlayer Plus with the Plus DVD playback components installed. On computers without the DVD playback components, DVD playback may not work, or may play only the video with no audio. In these cases, to play DVDs in RealTimes/RealPlayer you will need to upgrade to the Premium or Unlimited version and install the DVD playback components.

The simplest way to start playing a DVD is to insert a DVD into a DVD-capable drive installed on your computer. If RealTimes (or RealPlayer) is selected as your default player for DVDs, then it will automatically open and start playing the DVD. Otherwise, you will need to open the player and select Play CD or DVD from the Play menu.

Note: An AVCHD disc burned in RealTimes Premium/RealPlayer Plus is playable only on Blu-ray players.

To enable automatic DVD playback:
1. Open RealTimes/RealPlayer.
2. Click the logo in the upper left, then click Preferences.
3. In the Category pane, click DVD.
4. Under When Inserting a DVD, select the Start Playback check box.
5. In the Use Display Mode list, choose a display mode (usually Theater or Normal).
6. Click OK.

To start DVD playback manually:
1. Open RealTimes/RealPlayer.
2. Insert the DVD.
3. You should see the DVD appear in the left pane of the player.
4. Click the DVD icon to start playing.

However, some users also complain that they can't play DVD with Realplayer. If you have encountered the same trouble, you need a DVD converter to help you.
