DVD Blu Ray playback

Hi all Newbie laptop and user format Blue Ray here so please bear with me! I did a search and could not find anything about this problem I have. Recently bought an XPS 1730 (beautiful piece of kit) and so far I'm very happy with it - but I have a little complaint about BD playback.

I bought 2 of the other absolutely perfect BD Lucky Number Slevin times day others (Almost Famous) starts fine and passes to the menu screen with videos playing in the background of the menu - very nice.

However when passing the mouse over the hotspots to play the film nothing happens. It is the same for all other access point in the menu options. Thinking it could be a problem of hot spot, that I resorted to the menu bar to play the options etc but still no joy, I can stop, adjust the volume but I can not play! Looking at the other options along the top of the disc menu is grayed out. The passage of the mouse on the option of disc menu, it says "banned" - which I suppose is the cause of the problems.

I have a replacement for almost famous Blue Ray disc but it still does exactly the same thing. I checked the region code (so it is A, B, C plays anywhere). Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this, or what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Ian

  • Dv6 - 3217CL: DV6 - 3217CL Blu Ray Playback Choopy now

    So I will add to woes for Blu Ray playback. This laptop can play Blu Rays without any problem. After a motherboard failure and replacement, the video playback is now rough at best. It read DVDs without problem but the Blu Ray performance is terrible. I ran all the updates maintenance, windows updates, driver check and everything I can find to fix with still very poor performance. I even upgraded to 10 Windows but has nothing to solve that I did a reinstall full of Windows 7 which is come with, then all the updates.

    What has changed that causes this? I even tried an external player Blu Ray I know works but again, playback choppy on this machine. It contains 8Gb of ram max that says less than 4 GB can be used which is strange given his Win7/64 Although the BIOS has apparently locked the other 4 GB of ram. He didn't use to do so. BIOS version is F.29

    I used this machine for the trip to the death of the MB (video chip overheated and failed).  After I fixed with replacing MB, as shown, playback jerky Blu Rays only. Thoughts or ideas?

    You must have a third-party program to run Blu - ray discs.

    Your new PC must have provided with software to play. Otherwise, I'd contact the manufacturer and see if she did or why it didn't.

  • HP HPE337C answer DVD Blu - Ray?

    HPE337C answer DVD Blu - Ray?

    Yes, he does.  Once I passed this request, I found that he scored on the front of the multimedia disc tray.  I don't currently have all the Blu - Ray discs but you want to get one and give it a shot.

    Just finished watching "War horse" on the 27 "monitor.  It was not Blu - Ray, but as big screen, it was spectacular.  I have a Phillips DVR that I bought several years at Wal-Mart.  It will record TV on a 160GIG hard drive and burn a DVD of any program on the hard disk.  It is in the shop right now for the ejected disc repair.  I hope that it will be OK, because they aren't making them more and other manufacturers are about to phase out their units.  Sad

  • No longer autoplay video disks (DVD / Blu - Ray) (NOW RESOLVED)

    I use windows 7 Professional (x 64) and have this annoying bug.

    As of today, when I insert a Blu - Ray or DVD video disc, I get this error:

    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  May not permissions to access you the item. »

    I am the administrator of my PC and there is NO secondary accounts.  Guest account is disabled.

    There should be NO problem with permissions as I have full control of all my records and files.

    This only happens with video discs and not to other disks.  I tried Google, but have found no chance whatsoever.

    I can still access the files via windows Explorer, so I don't have access to the disk.  So why make this error instead of automatic reading I want to use.  When I insert a video disc, I want it automatically run my program of DVD/Blu-Ray and not spit this error at me.

    I had this problem last year and he only went after a reformat of my boot drive and a clean reinstall of windows.  I want do not undergo this nightmare again.

  • HP mediasmart DVD & Blu ray?

    I tried to play a blu ray dvd player and I get the following message:

    "Mediasmart DVD does not support playback of Blu - Ray disc on a virtual device. A Blu - Ray disc must be inserted into a BD - ROM drive for reading. »

    any ideas on how to make if it is possible to solve this problem?  Thank you!!

    Hello

    You have a virtual drive installed on the laptop software?  If so, uninstall it (at least temporarily) and restart the computer before trying 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 disc now plays OK.

    If it play Ok now and you didn't need to uninstall any virtual drive software, try to reinstall right now to see if the issue Returns or not.

  • Issue computer and dvd/blu-ray

    Hello

    I am writing to ask several questions that I just got a new computer to laptop Acer ES1-511-C723.

    On the right side of the laptop, there is a cover over where a reader of cd/dvd/blu-reay sat.

    My questions are regarding the addition of a disk to the laptop.

    First the computer can support an internal hard drive?

    I see the slot but do not know if the power supply could handle a drive.

    Also if it could support a car if she could manage a blu - ray player or on cd/dvd?

    If I can manage a drive is just plug-and-play, which simply means remove the laptop cover and slide a?

    Or most of the people just buy an external hard drive?

    I don't know how ofter I would use the drive as o even my office take it is only once every few weeks give ot.

    It's for my questions.

    Thanks in advance

    You can do this, but it would be much easier and cheaper to get a DVD USB drive.

  • DVD Blu Ray update

    Does anyone has improved their DVD to Blu Ray in their area 51 R2.

    If so, have what Blu Ray you installed.

    Appreciate any input.

    Not so fast, he said R2.

    I found this, bottom of page 1 @KPooh ><>my experience with 51 R2 (end of 2014): compatibility, damage and other matters:

    "Updated... In my area 51 R2 packing list, I deduced that the optical drive is a 9.5 mm (' ultra thin ', I think) loading slot.  These discs are those on a Mac Book Pro, and while they have been seen on Windows laptops, they are few and far between. Lets hope that Dell will update the documentation/sales pitch for the R2 Area 51. A burner blu - ray with this form factor is the UJ-267 (Panasonic).

    Readers of 9.5 mm have the same connectors to power/signal that most readers 'Slim' of 12.7 mm, but do not have a front frame, which requires the chassis to have a hole for the slot and a button that will be used to eject media on command.  This is consistent with the R2 Area 51.  They are also smaller than the 'slim' of 3.7 mm discs.

    or chime & ask Mark if its orderly type suitable, if it is still frequent the forum or receives upd8s IDK:
