Computer does not play DVD

Hi, I need some desperate help,

I went to play a movie for my kids and when I put the DVD in, I heard the computer read then nothing happened, I can't understand how to play any CD or DVD on this computer

Hello

The problem may be that Windows Media Player 12 will play most DVD movies are...

It is because of licensing issues...

Unless you Win Pro 8 with Media Center, you need to use a 3rd party player.

There are a number of those that are free. VLC Media Player is popular. I use it with another one called Media Player Classic.

  • Computer will not play DVD burned with DVD player

    Hello

    I burned some files on a DVD-R using my MacBook Air disc. I did by deleting files on the icon in the Finder and burned it there.

    If I put the DVD in my DVD player, videos play fine.

    If I insert it into a computer, the drive DVD does not open but opens the DVD just like a USB stick or something. So I can open individual files, but not to read them using a DVD player.

    What can I do?

  • DVD player does not play dvd

    I don't know if I installed a program that could have disabled or attacked my dvd player but I could watch movies before and now I can't

    I have no idea what's happened to your system, but
    the free VLC Media Player may be worth a try.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

  • Satellite A200 27z does not recognize DVD drive

    Hello

    Ive got the computer laptop toshiba Satellite A200 27z & a while a go it wouldn't turn on at all, I took it to a computer repair shop & they seemed to solve the problem, except that they delete all the "stuff" that comes with the laptop.

    On the most part, he always does things I want to do. But recently I went to play a dvd in there & it won't work, even if it does not play DVD if theyre sent to me by msn etc.

    Normally, when I put a dvd, toshiba dvd player would automatically right away, but now he used. When I go to manually open the dvd player toshiba a message just ups saying:

    * the specific drive is not found. Check the settings by going to settings > stock settings > source. or otherwise check that the disc has been correctly connected to the levels

    Ive been in the "action settings", but the source area is blocked (do not type anything in it). I don't know much about computers and so do not know how to check if the drive is properly connected.

    It will not also recognize when I put a cd that he either, as normally if I put a cd in and then itunes would automatically load upward, now itunes will not appear if a cd is in the laptop & I can't find it anywhere.

    can help someone, I have no idea about these things!

    I had this problem a few months ago, I thought that I should send it to be repaired but Windows Mr Fixit made and my dvd player is running again

    You try to play a DVD?

    FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
    DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder.

    If you could play before commercial video DVD...
    do a system restore to a time before this started
    may be your solution.

    Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

    Info about DVD decoders:

  • my window media does not play wen I insert the dvd disc it say that a compatiable device is not install please tell me what I need to do thanks.

    Hello my pblem is that my Windows media player does not play wen I insert my dvd disc it say that a compatiable device is not installed please help me thanks in advance

    Hello

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Hope these helps.

  • computer does not recognize a dvd in the drive

    Hello

    My computer does not recognize the presence of a dvd in one of my two drives, although she acknowledges a CD.  This happens regardless of what dvd I insert.

    Thank you very much

    PAM

    Try this;  Restart your computer before trying again the disc that plays on your DVD player.  If this does not work then there is only one possibility;  your DVD drive is DEAD and you need to replace it, or buy an external CD/DVD drive.    He comes to the end of the mystery.

  • For HP2000 2b19wm DVD player does not play smoothly

    I have a 2000 2-month old laptop 2b19wm, it was bought mainly for my husband to watch DVDs while he is on the road.  It does not play smoothly the DVD, audio and video are not synchronized correctly.  I tried to play new DVDs that have never been played on any system, so they are certainly not dirty.  The reader is not bad either.  It is definitely a hardware problem or a driver.  Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Could be something to do with the playback software. What software do you use (or your husband)? Please try the following software:
