DVD@ccess: Macintosh Installer Read Me

DVD@ccess Mac Installer Read Me

Apple's DVD@ccess technology enables any Macintosh or Windows DVD player application to respond to web links included on a DVD-Video title.

If you add web links 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 web links 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 folder.

4. Run the DVD@ccess Installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

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 web link 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 web links 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 web links which reference local URLs, such as a file on the DVD or hard drive.)
