Apple's DVD@ccess technology enables any Macintosh or Windows DVD player
application to respond to weblinks included on a DVD-Video title.
If you add weblinks to a DVD project using DVD Studio Pro, the finished DVD
will automatically include both Mac and Windows versions of the DVD@ccess
installers. These installers are there so anyone wishing to play a title
with weblinks can easily add the functionality to their playback computer.
To install the DVD@ccess software,
1. Insert the finished DVD into the computer.
2. Open the DVD so you can view it's contents.
3. You will find a folder named "DVD@ccess", open it, then open the Mac or
Windows folder, as appropriate.
4. Run the installer application (DVD@ccess Installer on Mac or
DVD@ccess.EXE on PCs) and follow the on-screen instructions.
On Windows systems, be sure to select your DVD drive in the pop-up menu.
5. Restart your computer to activate the DVD@ccess functionality.
NOTES:
- After installation, you can play your DVDs using any DVD playback
application. When a weblink is encountered during playback, the DVD@ccess
software will automatically launch your browser and jump to the specified
URL.
- The DVD@ccess functionality is built into recent versions of the Apple DVD
Player application. It is not necessary to install the DVD@ccess software if
your Mac is running version 2.4 or higher of the Apple DVD Player. (it
doesn't hurt anything if you do install it on such systems).
- The software only needs to be installed once on a given computer; it is
not tied to a specific DVD title.
- You can disable the DVD@ccess functionality at anytime by opening the
DVD@ccess control panel and unchecking the "DVD@ccess Active" checkbox.
- DVD@ccess weblinks will only work properly if the playback computer has an
internet connection. If a link does not work as expected, verify that you
actually have a connection. (This does not apply to weblinks which reference
local URLs, such as a file on the DVD or hard drive.)
