• Combo DVD - RW drive won't burn a disc

  All of a sudden yesterday after burning DVDs my DVD - RW combo drive won't burn a disc. I tried to run the Microsoft patch for CD DVD stuff and he said:

  the selected disk is not able to write, if you have multiple CD DVD players try to use another drive, otherwise you may need to install a CD DVD burner to burn with Nero, it says: this device needs a DVD R/W... and the fix format disc, it says the drive is not capable at all.  Also, when I go to the drive in my computer, it shows the drive as a CD drive.  I replaced the Combo drive with a new one and still have the same issues. Help!

• My ts-tb23l hp dvdwbd dvd drive won't recognise dvd-video.

  I have a hp Touchsmart 610 with windows 7 and the dvd player does not read video however it will play music. HP 610-1020 a TouchSmart desktop PC.  any ideas on why this is. brand new unit.

  Hello

  Normally, it allows you to change 4 times and will remain regardless of the area in the fifth. Many DVD players (home systems) are now free players area (for example, in Australia) but the number of optical drives on the PC / laptops are not. There is a software called AnyDVD which allows you to play any area of the DVD and now comics on the PC / laptop.

  Kind regards.

• Need to burn CDs that will play on MAC

  The CD I burned recently will not play on Mac. my friend it was made with control file using Lightscribe CD - R system.

  The MAC he spits. Please tell me how to make one for my friend (the one who will play!)

  PAM

  I'm not sure if it will work (he says he supports Joliet and Joliet is supported by MAC OS X): http://www.freevistafiles.com/NCH-Swift-Sound-Software+Express-Burn-CD-DVD-Blu-ray-Burner.html for the software andhttp://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/8017 for the confirmation of the MAC support for Joliet (although not all versions without additional software on the MAC except where it is included in MAC OS X.  The software comes with a free 14 day trail (so there is no financial risk and you get to check it for free).  This version of Express Burn Plus includes a trial of 14 days, the DVD recorder but after after 14 days, you can continue to use the CD burner for use no commercial free (but if you want to burn DVDs after that it costs $49.95 more to reactivate this feature).  I could not find any freeware that would do this (unless you can get by with CD and do not need to burn DVDs - it's free.  Vista cannot do.  There is no Microsoft product I know who can do it.  I couldn't find yet another option to provide you (and I spent almost an hour to research - I'm a little obsessed with the search for a solution).  And I mean EITHER DVD or CD (there were two, but they were not compatible with Vista).

  Again, it should work with MAC OS X, but earlier versions will need additional software to allow them to read Joliet (However, at first glance, it seemed that this software was readily available if I honestly did not check - read the second link on MAC support for Joliet for more information and then you can search for "Support of Joliet for MAC" or something like that on Google or Bing (or your friend may-) apres_tout you are doing most of the work and provide records him) he or she has to find and install everything what is necessary according to the MAC version.

  I hope this helps and I hope you can get CDS only then it will be free (you did mention CDs in your post, but maybe you just failed to mention DVD).

  Good luck!

• DVD drive won't burn DVDs

  I have a laptop DV2000 and although the DVD Player reads and plays CD and DVD it doesn't burn a data DVD.  The properties of the driver are so-called "working properly", but I lost many DVDs trying to burn playlists to itunes.

  It could be as simple a problem that do not use white to DVD quality. Learn more about best drives to http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm

  I suggest Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden discs only.

• DVD drive won't burn CDs?

  I can't copy of CD. I tried to copy an audio CD by using Windows Media Player 10 and Sonic Record now Toshiba, but at the same time produce an error towards the end of the combustion process.
  I reinstalled the driver DVD and reinstalled Windows Media Player, but these measures are not addressing the problem.
  Someone at - it other suggestions that might help?

  Thanks in advance, monkey

  I want you to try the upper and lower filter thing (link below). Often, this fixes the problem with DVD burners recognizes only not DVD discs.

• Satellite P30-145: the drive won't recognise DVD double layer

  I have a Satellite P30-145 with a SupermultiDL DVD player. When I got the PC, I could write DVD double layer with no problems. Now the drive will not recognize DVD double layer at all. Even those from the same box that has worked well before. I use are Verbatim Double layer DVD + R 2.4 x discs.

  After a lot of internet research, I have downloaded and run DVDInfoPro. This application has reported that the Player did not support the DVD + RW DL. Very strange!

  Can anyone help? The drive is a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ - 831S.

  Hi Lan

  This disc is certainly DL one, but I can imagine that the drive is defective and cannot calibrate lens in the right position. This model of laptop is more than two years, and if you have used this drive extensively, I can really imagine that the DL function is defective.

  What you can do is to clean the lens and see that it will help.

• I'm running on xp and my media player11 won't play DVDs but will play CD and burn

  don't know if the codex is missing or hardware is broken

  WMP11 already play DVDs?

  Maybe you need a DVD decoder:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins Or you could try one of the following free media players
  who should read DVDs:

  VLC Media Player
  http://www.videolan.org/

  Media Player Classic
  http://www.filehippo.com/download_media_player_classic/
  (just unzip and run it... (no installation required)

  Media Player Classic Home Cinema
  http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Another option would be to download and install one of
  the following Codec Packs:

  * Proceed at your own risk *.

  (1) news of CCCP (combined Community Codec Pack)

• My dvd player won't play CD but will play dvd .i have run recovery system, no change discs

  The unit is a HP PAVILION p6107uk desktop pc. When the cd is inserted pc tries to read for about 30 seconds then silence.right click on results of dvd player in windows explorer freezing.as soon the disc is ejected Explorer is ok.apart of the records of restorations that I tried to uninstall the drive and reinstalling, diagnostic tools can not read drive when the cd is inserted , but is very good with dvd.software updated controls say that my dvd drive is up to date. DVD player is a HL-DT-ST-DVD RAM GH40L.

  I am considering buying a new dvd player to see if that solves it, but all hoping a met and solved this problem before

  The player uses different devices for the CD DVD vs.  It could be the laser and/or material for the part CD failed.  DVD players are cheap now, so a replacement won't cost you too much.  I see that the specifications indicate that the current drive has lightscribe, then choose a replacement that has this feature if necessary.

  Looks like a dead drive.

  In my view if these malfunctions seems the best way is to replace the drive.

• My DVD RW drive doesn't detect program or music cd but will play a movie cd

  My DVD RW drive does not detect the program, music or a blank cd but detects and read a movie cd. I tried uninstalling the driver and restarted my computer, looking for updated driver (said mine is newer), reset to default AutoPlay settings and nothing seems to work. It was when I got to my computer but then I caught a virus and all the hard drive should be dumped and re-installed the files. My drive has not worked for some time now and I don't remember for sure if it was when he left or if it worked fine after that for a while.
