SelmaTeacher7 Mr. Berry here. Today I'm going to show you how to play a DVD movie on your
Chromebook using VLC so let's get started with the lesson now in my last tutorial video I went
over how to bind your data that's been stored on optical drives for optical discs such as a data
disc that you might have backed up your images or even backed up old video files stuff like that on
to those and the way that you do that is you would get a external DVD or CD drive and then
plug it into your Chromebook using the USB cables that came with the device now some have asked well
where did you find this particular one well I found it a Newegg and this is an optical drive
enclosure and it's just a generic device there's actually no brand name on it and for the DVD drive
itself it was pulled from a derelict Dell Latitude 630 laptop computer and we just pulled that out
put it in here but really any of the external DVD drives or CD drives that you find on eBay Newegg
TigerDirect any of those should do the same job as what we're seeing here now in that video I also
tried to play a DVD movie unfortunately it didn't work well today when I tried it again it worked
that's strange so let me go over the steps of how to make this work so the first thing
that you need is a special app called VLC now to find that go down here to the app launcher
and click it once you're at the app launcher click on Web Store and then do a search for VLC
as you see I've already done here now you'll see extensions here all the way down to the apps and
the app that you want is called VLC by VideoLan and it will be blue right here I mean click on
add to Chrome and it takes a little while to download all of the codecs that go with that
one so it might take a few minutes then insert your DVD movie into your external DVD drive and
let's start the app there you need to tell it which folder on the DVD Drive has your videos
these are the VLC video files go ahead and click on one and
it doesn't automatically just start playing all of your movies like you
would find in a Windows machine you have to find the individual video segments and
that's what I've done here let's go ahead now click it and then you can maximize it
and then you can watch your movie
there you go when he'll we're watching a DVD movie on a Chromebook well there you have it
you now know how to play a DVD movie right on a Chromebook using the VLC app the only tricky part
is using the VLC to find those video segments that are stored on the DVD disc let me show you
how to find your video segments on your DVD Drive using the VLC app. Click on the launcher click on
your VLC app it always opens up into this little window here you have to tell it where those video
files are located and so you go into your DVD Drive and then you go into a folder called video
TS and that's where they're located then you click on open and once you click on open you'll then see
the files up here here you can then go ahead and start clicking on the ones that you want to start
