• Error when you try to play a DVD: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because the disc prohibits playback in your region of the world. You must obtain a disc that is intended for your geographic region.

  copy a group of photos w/music (Smilebox program) on dvd;

  After following the instructions of SMilebox to burn "images set to music" on DVD, to the attempt of DVD playback, I got following error message: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because the disc prohibits playback in your region of the world. You must obtain a disc that is intended for your geographic region.  We live in the Washington area. I didn't know that DC was considered an unusual geographic region?

  Hey nongeekbetty,

  The DVD is encoded for a different region. Most DVD readers only works with DVDs that are coded for the computer was purchased in the same region. So if you buy a DVD in one country and then try to play on one computer from another country this DVD could not play.

  Step 1:

  Make sure that the DVD region is set to the appropriate region:

  a. Click Start.

  (b) in the search box, type Device Manager.

  c. right-click on the DVD drive.

  d. right-click on it and select Properties.

  e. make sure that the region will be resolved.

  For your information:

  Step 2:

  Also temporarily disable User Account Control (UAC) and check it out.

  Note: Activate it once you are done with the check.

• The error that says it cannot read the disc.

  I installed a CD using Windows Media Player AutoPlay as my default for audio CD the 1st song plays, but when I select the next song, I get a red X icon and an error saying the disc cannot be read and it climbs to the 3rd song. So, if I select another song, I get several red X icons on several songs. It happens with all prerecorded CDs that I install. The disks are clean and new and everything worked fine before, but I had my Windows Vista Home Premium reloaded recently. I don't remember if the player has worked properly for reloading. Why can it read well enough to still play some songs if it cannot read the disc. I'm getting confused. Can someone help me sort through this and help me make it work? I'm not too computer, so be gentle. Thank you... Dave

• Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disk has been created in a way that the player does not support

  Original title: error reading from a photo cd

  Error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disk has been created in a way that the player does not support"when the disc is inserted into the PC HP Touchsmart yet he plays on the laptop.  Help please

  Hello

  (1) what is the file format of the photos on the CD?

  (2) you are able to play another CD/DVD on this computer?

  (3) have you made recent changes to the computer before the show?

  (4) is it a Blu - ray disc?

   

  Install the codec for Blu - Ray. Your Blu - ray player should have come with a medium containing the codec. You can also use your favorite search engine and free research Blu - ray codec.
  The Blu - ray disc format is not supported in Windows Media Player. To play a Blu - ray disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports Blu - ray playback and a device that can play Blu - ray discs.

  If you have a program that supports Blu - ray, then I suggest you to use the Troubleshoot utility and check for the issue.

  You can try the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1: Play a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player

  Method 2: Types supported by Windows Media Player files

• Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD.

  Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings.

  Original title: Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings.

  I was troubleshooting video playback issues throughout the morning after the reconstruction of a machine with a fresh install of W7 Ultimate, shot a few questions there.

  The first and foremost reason I couldn't play THE VIDEOS was due to the ATI Rage video card that was in the machine, proved that this card was not compatible for playback of DVD video on W7.  No problem with the system of video files (.avi, .mpg, .mp4, etc.), only reading DVD.  Disabling this card and media player running with a standard VGA device allowed me to play regular DVD movies very well.

  Another question, I stumbled on was with burned copies of the DVD, it turned out that my system DVD players, (2, one is a HP630E and the other is a typical ATAPI DVD DD internal 8 x 16), have a problem with playing movies engraved on DVD - RW discs.  Playing discs DVD-R worked well on this system.

  So in your case I try to disable the video device and let the system first use a VGA Standard, if your video plays well then check with the making of video for a updated driver device, saying "you have made any changes" does not mean that the system did not have a bad patch somewhere...
