Cannot read DVD on Satellite Pro 4600 movies

Hello

After a clean install of Win2K on Satellite Pro 4600 I am unable to play any DVD movie. I am able to access the data of the DVD discs. The error message is:

"There is not Windows 2000 compatible compatible dvd decoder installed on this system."

I was able to play DVDs when running Windows XP.

I searched online and on these forums for an update of the software for my DVD player (model SD-C2402) but have been unable to find one. I should be grateful if you would be pointing in the right direction.

Thank you

Hello

I have good experiences with VLC media player. Try to use it.
Back to your problem. I think you need to MPEG2decoder. Googled around and look for any W2K codec pack. After installing it, I'm sure that everything will work properly and you will be able to watch DVD movies.

As I wrote already test VLC media player. It's really good.

  • Playing DVDs on Satellite Pro 4600

    Hi - I installed a dvd player for my satellite pro 4600. When I play a dvd movie on my laptop it seems to be very out of sync and "stuttering". can anyone offer advice to help me read DVDs without problem.

    Hi Tommy

    Check please, processes running in the background. If there are some not necessarily ongoing process, it may be responsible for the lower speed of the processor. It may be a virus scan application that analyzes the HARD drive permanently and can be the reason of "stutter" picture on your screen.

    Hello

    I found the news that DVD-ROM Toshiba SD-C2402 and Toshiba SD-R2002 readers are compatible with your model of laptop. If you have info that Toshiba SD-C2732 can also be used you should try it.

    Moreover, in my opinion, it is OK that's just English allowed on this forum and can be understandable for us all.

  • Cannot read DVD on Satellite L20

    When I insert a DVD, the DVD does start up, sometimes changes the menu of the DVD, but when I start as a movie, I get a Microsoft error message. When the report is sent, I subsequently have a message that something is wrong with the filter... Does anyone have a solution for this? The driver for my DVD/CD-ROM drive is the standard driver from Microsoft.
    TNX,
    Tom

    Hello

    I also recommend check if this problem occurs on different DVD players.
    The WinDVD must be preinstalled on the Toshiba laptop. Check it out.
    Power DVD is also a very good program to watch DVD

  • Satellite Pro 4600: WinXP - no hardware acceleration for dvd?

    I have a satellite pro 4600 pentium 3 800 with 128 MB of ram and graphics Trident CyberBlade XP card. The device is perfectly able to reproduce DVDs with the software alone by using PowerDVD 6. However due to the fact that my battery is almost dead, I would be able to play the DVD the most optimized battery settings.

    Setting of the unit (approximately 350 mhz) low processor should be able to play DVDs if backed up by hardware acceleration, since cyberblade claims to be a card directX 7 with motion compensation and idct. However 4 PowerDVD 6 PowerDVD and windvd 7 do not recognize hardware acceleration under windows XP.

    In the past, I had a similar problem with a laptop computer with a graphics card than cyberblade i7. I was then able to activate hardware acceleration using just powerdvd 4 and windows 98, but I don't want to resort to that.

    Can someone help me? Do you know any software reading with the support of cyberblade XP Windows? Do I need any other drivers? I have the drivers on the toshiba site, and they date back to 2001.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I n t have any experience in hardware acceleration of the cyberblade card but mobile graphics cards are not similar with Office PC cards.
    As far as I know the unit has a support of the Trident Cyber BLADE XP video controller 16 MB VRAM external video and DVD material.
    However, you will find the Toshiba drivers on the Toshiba site but if you need one on so I would say to ask the support of Trident.
    But if you use no drivers Toshiba you can do at your own risk!

  • Portable Satellite 1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require files avi (codec)

    my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.

    Hello

    I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
    In this case, you need additional codecs.
    This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
    Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.

    Good luck

  • New DVD drive not recognized on my Satellite Pro 4600

    Hi all

    I recently bought an engraver of DVD in NEC ND-6650 nine.
    This drive is NOT recognized by my Satellite Pro 4600 at all - neither Windows 2000 nor in the BIOS (v 2.60). BIOS updates higher than the 2.60 version are not provided.
    Does that mean I can forget about using the new writer in my old notebook?

    Thank you and best regards,

    Nils

    Hi Nils,

    I suspect that your new drive may be not be compatible with your laptop. Like all scanners to your new drive will be configured as slave or master (or CSEL possible), and this configuration should match your laptop.

    Usually your hard drive is configured as master on IDE channel 0 with optical drive is the slave on the same channel device. However, you may find that your optical drive is configured as master on the IDE 1 channel.

    Normally the setting is preconfigured by the manufacturer so you will need to check both the conficuration of your new drive and the configuration of your original drive to make sure they are the same.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro 4600 East-CDRW/DVD asks a series of 4300?

    Anyone know if the readers of CD-RW/DVD-ROM that have been adjusted for some computers laptops Satellite Pro 4600 will be adapted and can be implemented in the Satellite Pro 4300 series notebooks? Please don't reply by saying contact my local service partner!

  • I can build in the Satellite Pro 4600 DVD burner?

    Hiya

    Can anyone help with this? Has anyone equipped with a DVD burner (dvd - rw drive Toshiba sd-r6252)?
    Which models are compatible? I'm good fight opening and Exchange.
    Compatibility just in fact know.
    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t found any information if this drive is compatible with the Satellite Pro 4600, but you should be careful to replace the drive.
    You should check the dimensions of the car. Very important is the drive (master, slave, csel) settings because it is not possible to change this settings as on the usual desktop drive.
    I'm not sure about the settings on the Satellite Pro 4600 but the ASP Toshiba should know that.
    You can also order the caught player supported by the Toshiba service partner in your country.

  • Satellite Pro 4600: what DVD player?

    Toshiba SD-C2402 (DVD - ROM drive)
    Toshiba SD-R2002 (CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive)

    I don't know if this disks are still available.

  • Cannot change the contrast, brightness, etc. on Satellite Pro 4600. Help please.

    I can't control the contrast, brightness, Saturation etc... using the control panel of Trident in my Satellite Pro 4600. Could someone help me to activate these controls?
    Thanks in advance
    Andrea

    Hello Andrea,

    normally, you can change this settigs in the Panel, but to explain the way to change this would be nice to know what operating system you have installed.

    If you have the perinstalled Os, it might be that you have Win2000.

    Win2000:

    Go to the control panel - display - Advanced control and then you could choose between video, color or television.

    The Brightess could be changed to energy-saving, because the brightness depends on your setting of power.
    Battery high brightness mode could reduce your battery power!

  • Satellite Pro 4600: Win2k with SP4 - cooler run all the time

    Hello

    last week, I bought a used Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 PIII, 1 GHz, 512 GB of Ram, WIFI and DVD burner. Great machine so far.

    After that I changed the FAT32 file system to NTFS and reinstalled Win2K/SP4 cooler runs all the time.

    TaskManager says that "THOT_KEY.exe" uses up 99% of the CPU power. Disabling this service reduces the power of the processor and the cooler was quite, BUT didn't really helped - lots of keys does not work.

    I ran a few utilities to disinfect as Kaspersky, NOD32 etc. to ensure that Ia´ve not taken some malware.
    Should I try a bios update or change some settings?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for help

    Hello

    AFAIK the THOT_KEY.exe belongs to the Toshiba Hotkey utility that controls the various key functions.
    If you disable this service, you will not be able to use the FN keys more.
    I m not 100% sure why this service uses 99% of CPU performance, but perhaps that it s not completely compatible with the W2K service packs. Where did you download this utility? I found it on the page of Toshiba Europe!

    In my opinion, you should try to reinstall the system again. This is probably the key!

    Good luck
