Do not play CD or DVD
I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite (Windows Vista), I bought new in July 2009. The problem is with my CD/DVD driver. Mechanically, it is fine, but when I insert a CD or a DVD, it does not play. I uninstalled via the device and rebooted, Manager it, but still have the question. I inserted a lens cleaner - always unsuccessfully.
Hello
Have you tried high quality like Verbatim or Tdk media? I see, you have already tried to remove the upper/lower case filters. It may be a malfunction of the equipment. You should contact them, you bought it July 2009, so it is still on warranty, they repair at our expense.

I have downloaded music and burned my computer on a DVD disc. This disc can not play on any DVD player and computer but my computer. I would like to read a disc in any CD or DVD drive. Please tell me what I need to do. Thank you!!!
I recommend you burn a cd or a dvd with zune (microsoft Corporation) follow the instructions here to find out how to burn a cd or dvd to zune.
If your song doesn't appear in your collection, I suggest buying your song with zune or Itunes
ITunes costs about $ 1 per track and zune costs 14 dollars per 10 tracks.
To learn more about the visit of zune music and reduced here.
In Itunes, all you have to do is open itunes and click itunes store then the music and find the music you want.

Burned DVD will not play on a DVD player
I downloaded a 22 minute video I want to burn to a DVD in my DVD player. I tried on the DVD-R and DVD + R. They burn the disk but will not play on the DVD player. The error message indicates that the reading is not available on this disc. I used the windows search support to problem solve on my own, but have had no success. I made sure that I am selecting the option of CD/DVD drive to use the ISO image format. I entered my option and I have no filters. I have the video on NTSC format since I'm Pennsylvania / U.S.. I have not tried burning on slow or average speed because it burns the DVD without problem it just will not playback on the DVD player. What do you recommend as my next plan of action for troubleshooting.
I guess that the video is not DVD compatible Mpeg2. According to the DVD player, some will play other formats, too. If there is no program for video on the computer, try Windows Movie Maker (free) to see if the video will too be converted to standard DVD Mpeg2.

disc CD - r will not play using a DVD player
When I create a movie with movie maker cd - r disc will not play on a dvd player. It comes up with 'unknown disc '. Where I'm going wrong?
Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!
Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Unknown disk error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
It is always better if you include your question in the body of your message.
Unless you had a special software that would create a video CD (VCD) your
free-standing DVD player won't play (and even then... your DVD
Player must be compatible with VCD, and some are not)Try to use a cache of DVD with Windows DVD Maker. The following links may

Satellite M40: message: can not play because the DVD decoder is not installed
not serious... I am back... I did a little reading and tried to read another cd in the drive and the message came to say "can't play because the dvd decoder is not installed, so I guess that's the problem because I have a recovery * DVD *.» Anyone know where I can find a dvd for a Satellite M40 decoder?
> can't play because the dvd decoder is not installed
This message appears if you want to play DVD movies with an application like Windows Media Player that has no (plug-in) installed DVD decoder.
Usually the DVD can be played with special programs like WinDVD or PowerDVD for example!But this DVD decoder has nothing to do with the Toshiba Recovery DVD and the fact your new DVD Player cannot read the recovery DVDs.

Satellite A105-S4284 does not play the simple DVD but only CD and DVD - RW
Hello
I have not seen a post about the problem I have. About half or less than half the time, when I try to play a DVD in the CD/DVD player, the DVD not play. CD playback. Reading DVD - RW. I'm confused.Can anyone help?
Hello
In such cases, it s is not easy to say why it happens.
Usually if the drive cannot read media either material works badly or the CD / DVD is not compatible and taken in charge.But we hope that the equipment is not damaged.
Did you get any error messages?I found some interesting documents from Microsoft:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/321641/You should study a bit more in the MS. knowledge base There are solutions and some helpful tips.

Satellite P200-1EE does not play a HD - DVD
My P200 with HD DVD drive fails to recognize a HD drive (before ask you, this is not a Blu - Ray). It's a UK bought HD DVD. When I start the program of DVD HD Toshiba drive and insert a disc, nothing happens. He will play a standard DVD with no problems. All other functions of the disk drive appear to be good.
What is the solution to this problem? I made no change of setting.
The problem is that your HD DVD player firmware is not updated!
In addition, I would recommend the Toshiba HD DVD Player update!See European Toshiba driver page, select your notebook series and date the firmware of the HD DVD player and readers!

Windows Movie Maker DVD will not play in my DVD of Emerson drive
Burned DVD won't play in my dvd player. I worked on it for three days. I burned a movie on a dvd + rw disc. The film will play on my computer but won't play in my dvd player. I get "Disk error" on the screen and the disc may not have playback function. What is the function of reading and how I can change my download? I lived all the concepts of self-help, but none of them fit to my problem. I have Windows Vista Premium and have tried using Windows DVD Maker. I called the manufacturer of my drive and they said I need to finalize the disc. How can I do to do this with Windows DVD MAKER? I read articles about video editing, but when I went through the steps that I wasn't even offered the possibility to publish the video. My brother uses the same discs when burning movies and I have no problem playing his films. What I am doing wrong?
Hi BrookeMcCulley,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.
On some of the DVD player, you will not be able to play DVD + RW discs. You will need to use DVD + r (read DVD) drive and check if it works.
You can also try to use another brand of DVD disc and check.

HP ENVY 17 TS j078 laptop will not play blu ray dvd
I just got a HP ENVY 17 TS j078 Notebook PC
I had to call the assistance that he would not play a dvd.
They have installed VLC MEDIA PLAYER and dvd movies now work.
I understand this particular laptop also plays blu ray dvd, I tried several but no luck.
Any suggestions before I waste2 hours with HP support!
Hello:
Yes, this model confirms that it is not a blue ray player, just an optical drive DVD - RW.
You can see a post similar to the link below where someone had a different brand with the same drive laptop and could not play Blu - Ray discs.

After burning .wmv on DVD, it will not play on a DVD player
Original title: Save as one file other than .wmv
After that I recorded my video (such as a .wmv file) and burn it to a DVD, it won't play on any DVD players. The saved file can be converted to another type that will play on most DVD players? Or even recorded under one of these files?
DVD player, that I hooked up to my TV plays .wmv files that I take with my camera. I do not use the DVD program supplied with Win7 however. Roxio DVD Creator. But there are free converters out there. I actually convert mine by default the camera MOV to WMV for distribution by e-mail.

HP dv6t 1200 MediaSmart app will not play blu ray dvd. Keeps wanting me to check updates
Continuous just ask application check the updates. If I select Yes or no it displays the disc is ready and just press play to start playing. Disc will not play only.
Any help
Hello
If you use HP MediaSmart DVD to read Blu - ray disc, try the following.
HP now provides a version of PowerDVD 10 Cyberlinks which seems to be a better solution. Download the latest installer for it on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.
http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe
Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.
When windows has reloaded, open your downloads folder and double-click Setup for PowerDVD 10 start the installation. Once this done, see if your Blu ray now playing the discs OK.
Kind regards
