DVD will not play but CD works fine I've adjusted the resolution still does not work

I spin CD time XP media player fine but won't play how to upgrade the video card from the DVD? Or anything else to solve my problem?

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:

(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 can download and use one of the following freeware
media players:

(works on XP/Vista/7)

Media Player Classic Home Cinema

(works on XP/Vista/7)

Or... you can try to download and install one of the
Following codec packs.

(FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
point before installing any software or updates).

  • Qosmio G20: Feedback speaker + HD DVD will not play

    I usually don't use the internal sound on the laptop it is normally plugged into my hi-fi using optics and a creative labs USB device.

    However, I am experimenting with playing a DVD hd through my TV using the hdmi output connection. The two DVDs, DVD player high definition HD Toshiba tries to play but nothing happens. Anyway back to the right question.

    I thought that, perhaps, the cause is that I had disabled internal sound, so I let him. However, when you start up Windows, I got your feedback loud and terrible (MOM had to leave the room). I had two times to turn it off by pressing on the top to move off. When feedback was going on the computer seems inadmissible. I discovered later that he would sometimes silence if I almost closed the lid. Finally, finally, I managed to get into the control panel to turn off the sound edge. Any ideas?

    Back to DVD problems. Bought the PC in early January and Doom on HD DVD just to try (has not bought a laptop for high definition DVD just the model I chose had it anyway). When I tried doom, it did not work, a few weeks ago. Permit on board and it worked. Disabled the sound, back to my stereo and it still worked. In both cases, did not watch the movie, was just to try the stuff of high definition.

    A colleague lent me King Kong on HD DVD and I had intend to also try the hdmi connection. The two videos won't play.

    Any ideas?

    Wait a moment David! Your ad is so confusing to me that I n know how to understand all your problems.

    Can we please discuss step by step?

    First I delete information because, as far as I know, the G20 is not distributed with HD - DVD player, only G30 (not all). Because of this I will ask you once again: is this your Qosmio G20 has ODD HD-DVD and HDMI output on the basque coast port? If Yes can please write you exact model description (G20 - XXX)?

    I ask this because I tested the G30 friends with my HD-ready LCD TV and everything works perfectly. Picture on TV is brilliant and its really fantastic.

    Please write again, but clear sentences and try to explain what is exactly your problem.

  • Some DVDs will not play on my laptop satellite

    I was redirected here from this forum: http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Drivers-and-Utilities/tsstcorp-cddvdw-su-208bb-failing-to-recognize-dvd/td-p/463603

    I can't read some DVD (which will play on other computers) but some DVD will not work.

    As per link above the pilot is tsstcorp cddvdw su-208bb. Tried uninstalling the drive and reboot but no effect.
    I don't know my exact model. It's just a Satellite, and this is the only information I can find.

    It is not easy to say what may be wrong with that. Try to clean the lens and check it once more.

  • Why some DVDs will not play in my computer DVD player?

    I have a small collection of commercial DVD movies.  Most of them come from the place of the U.S. market, and some come from Asia... He play ALL these DVD in my Phillips DVD player that is connected to my TV.

    But only some of these DVD will play in my DVD player which is in my computer Dell Inspiron 531 with Windows 7 Ultimate edition.  This computer has a DVD/CD SAMSUNG HD161HJ SCSI disk drive.

    Some of the DVDs that will play on my computer are the American market, and some of them are of the Asian market, so I don't think that this has nothing to do with why some of these DVDs will not play on my computer.

    DVDs that play fine in my Phillips DVD on my TV player that will not play on my computer don't yet seem to close at play on my computer.  The DVD that will play on my computer liquidation (you can hear the noise) in the DVD player in 20 seconds and they start playing automatically in Windows Media Player... but I welcomed all others who won't have to sit in the DVD player for several minutes each in my tests and nothing happens... There is no wind sound and all nothing is happening on the computer screen.

    This doesn't seem to be a problem with the driver software for the disk hard because some of the DVDs will play.

    None of these DVDs are buckled and all of them are clean.

    I tried two or three times test each of DVDs that won't play, the removed from drive and put them back in.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hi Dale,

    Although I never had no problem with the DVD or the CD I burned on PC, I think you're going to probably the same thing, that I've been with this internal DVD/CD player, is not a software problem, but just the characteristics of a lower quality DVD/CD player, and it isn't necessarily the symptoms of a dying man in car , but just a stock car low quality that some computer manufacturers cut corners with.
    The drive in the computer that I was referring in this thread is a DVD/CD SAMSUNG HD161HJ SCSI disk drive. Which may or may not be identical or similar to the reader, you have problems with, but the computer on which the reader is underway is a Dell Inspiron 531.
    Through the information that I've gathered on this thread and on another forum, I came to the conclusion that it's just a cheap player who gives intermittent performance recognizing various DVD, but as I said, the drive I troubleshooting always recognize DVDs and CDs that I burned in it... It was just the DVD movie that I have problems with.
    I dug my loyal reader DVD LaCie and plugged and I had no problems with him acknowledging and play ONE of my DVDs on this machine, which proves that the problem has nothing to do with the software system or DVD player software, as in the case suggested by someone else on this thread.
    Just buy yourself a Firewire drive or USB-2 DVD decent and you're probably fine.

    If you use a DVD - RW disk... you could try a DVD-R, but some DVD players
    will not play a home made DVD... not much you can do about it.

  • Pavilion Desktop PC p7-1414: DVD will not play video

    All of a sudden my DVD will not play on my computer.  DVD will play the data but not video.  Check Device Manager, which States that the device is functioning properly.  Insert other discs that have always played, but now they are not. Videos will play, however, on television.  No new hardware installed to cause a conflict. Checking for updates for the driver, but there are no new updates/drivers to install.

    Success... Thanks a lot for the downloads.  I currently have 8 CyberlinkPower2Go for burning, but the best new version I guess.  Maybe he would correct music hushed on broadcast television.  Thanks again... you saved a LOT of frustration!

  • Why my self playing dvd will not be recorded dvd?

    I have a saved auto dvd that won't play on windows media player despite me download a shedding of different codecs. I don't know what the record was made in format, it comes from a canon camera recorded to a dvd player/burner. My computer is HP pavilion and it sees the drive as white, any ideas anyone please.

    I have experienced and recorded the dvd, as well, the DVD - RW and DVD + R with two freewares and I'm able to play an exceptional video on my computer or DVD player.  Two freewares are available on internet and their software can be downloaded and run your browser on a computer.  The two programs are DVDVideoSoft's "Free Disk Burner" and the other "Convert Video" by X2XSoft.  I use video conversion to convert my video the Audio_TS and Video_TS files and output them both in a directory on your hard drive.  C:/DVDdirectory/Audio_TS and Video_TS/DVDdirectory/C: use of software Free Burner of disc to burn both files on the DVD.  The files to burn must be considered in the as free disc burner: Audio_TS Video_TS, otherwise your DVD will not play on anything!

    Free disc burner "finalize" the DVD for you.  The Audio_TS is to render the sounds.  The Video_TS is the image.  Do not be misled by the Audio_TS bend not containing or not list all files!  Your good and ready to burn.

    A pointer, however.  You will find your best record burning SPEED on "more SLOW!  You may be using a DVD that can be recorded at 40 x or 48 x or 16 x, or some fast deal, but always choose 4 x or slower.  I check in at 2.4 x and get better results than the faster speeds.  You paid for the DVD, do what you want to do.  Hope you can understand this and happy saving!

  • Satellite Pro L100 - DVD will not turn even upward

    My friend gave me an old Satellite Pro L100 PSLA4E 005009EN to look at. He acknowledges not or read the DVD. I tried using multimedia Nero, Cyberlink and VLC players, but they can't watch a DVD. A CD will play without a problem, but a DVD will not yet run abreast.

    When I look in my computer it says that a TSST Corp CD/DVD TS-L632M is installed, but when I look at the edge of the disc itself, it says DVD. R/RW with lightscribe? The software is also the original software yet.
    Since the downloads for this model of Toshiba page, I see that the TSST DVD - RAM drive was equipped initially to the laptop so I'm assuming that a DVD - RW was equipped afterwards?

    I find the hardware changes in device if Manager shows nothing. If I try to update the drivers found nothing? In desperation I tried to reinstall the drivers from the Toshiba site, but it does not help?
    If this is the case why Windows XP does not recognize a DVD - RW?

    If someone sees something I missed please?

    Hey,.

    Different laptops come with a different material maybe if the laptop was supplied with this player, but in my opinion it of important either.

    The fact is if DVD is not recognized it seems to be a hardware malfunction, but what you can do is cleaning the lens of the player with a Microfiber towel. Do it carefully you don't zero or destroy the lens (dust could be on the lens). After that he try again if it will recognize a DVD.

    Otherwise, the disc must be replaced and contact an authorized service provider. Guys can order a compatible drive and replace it. :)
