Access content on the DVD whenever you want by clicking 'Start,' (My) 'Computer,' and double-click the DVD drive icon. This opens a window with all the programs and files currently stored on the disc. This is typically how you access video footage created with DVD video cameras.

How to Get HTML5 on an iPad

Connect to the Internet via your iPad's Wi-Fi connection, which will perform better for app downloads and HTML5 streaming than a 3G connection.
Tap the 'App Store' icon on your iPad. Enter the name of the video website or service you are trying to access. For example, Netflix, Hulu and YouTube use Flash video on their computer-based sites, but you can download apps for each of these services that use HTML5 or other iPad-compatible formats. The apps are free, but Netflix and Hulu Plus (Hulu's iPad and computer premium service) both require paid subscriptions to their services.
Tap the app's 'Free' button, then tap 'Install' and enter your iTunes password to download the HTML5-friendly version of these services onto your iPad.
Connect to the services through the app instead of your web browser to view HTML5 versions of the videos.
Search for 'SkyFire browser' in the App Store if you want to download a browser that can convert some Web-based Flash to HTML5 for your iPad. This browser costs a small one-time fee, but it can convert some Flash content to HTML5 so your iPad can view it. This does not work for all content, so you cannot use it for Flash-heavy gaming or the Hulu website, but it can help you view animations in HTML5. Download and install this browser, and then use it as your iPad's Web browser when you want to view content in HTML5.

How to Get Different Dreams in the Inception App

Press the “Home” button below the touch-sensitive display of your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.
Tap the “Inception” icon to launch the app. A welcome screen appears.
Tap the “Induce” button, marked with an icon of arrows below the “Welcome” message to induce the first dreamworld, the “Reverie Dream.” The “Reverie Dream” takes sounds from your environment, including background noises and things that you say, and incorporates them into a soundscape.
Tap the screen when you are finished exploring the “Reverie Dream.” Unlabeled black tiles appear on the screen.
Tap any black tile to read details about it and to learn how to unlock it. For example, tap one of the upper black tiles to access the “Quiet Dream” dream, and then go to a quiet place and remain still. Your device senses when it has stopped moving and that the location is quiet, and then begins playing the “Quiet Dream,” which includes soundscapes that were not used in the theatrical release of the movie “Inception.” When you move, the device senses motion and stops the dream.
Go to an airport with your device and launch the Inception app while waiting for a plane. Tap the unlabeled black tile at the top left of the screen, and then tap the “Induce” button to begin the “Airport Dream.” The “Airport Dream” takes sounds from the airport and turns them into a rhythmic soundtrack for the dream.
Meet up with at least one other person who is running the Inception app on an iOS device and then both of you tap the long thin black tile at the top of the screen of your devices to access the “Shared Dream.” Both of you tap the “Induce” button. You will hear a special version of the “Run” theme from the Inception soundtrack. When four people get together with iOS devices and play this dream, the music becomes more dramatic.
Press the “Home” button on your device, then tap “Settings” when you want to get the “Africa Dream.” Tap “Location Services,” and then tap the “Location Services” option to “On.” Tap the “Inception” option to “On.” Take your device with you and travel to the continent of Africa. Your device uses location services to detect when you have reached Africa. Tap the bottom left unlabeled tile to start the “Africa Dream,” and then tap the “Induce” button. This dream only works when you are physically somewhere on the continent of Africa with location services enabled on your device. The “Africa Dream” app combines sounds picked up from your location in Africa with sounds from the “We Built Our Own World” theme from the Inception movie.
Wait for a full moon, then tap an unlabeled black tile in the middle row at the top of the screen, and then tap the “Induce” button to enable the “Full Moon Dream” any time between sunset and sunrise. This dream features sounds from an unreleased mix of the “Mal” theme from the Inception movie.
Get in a vehicle and travel at a speed of more than 30 miles per hour, and then tap the unlabeled black tile at the upper right side of the screen, and then tap the “Induce” button to begin the “Traveling Dream.” This dream mixes sounds from the “Time” theme from the Inception movie with sounds picked up by the device as you move quickly.
