How to get the dvd - rw discs to play on my superdrive drive?

I have a few TV shows on old Sony DVD + RW discs that I used to play on my PC but will not play on my new Macbook? My computer will not show me the files when I open the DVD in the folder. Click two fingers shows many options, including the rewrite and erase, but no option 'play '. Is there a driver I need to download? How can I get my DVD to play on my superdrive?

Is the DVD + RW, a DVD-video disc?  If so its contents will have two files like this:

Is that how the disk looks like?  If so throw a DVD and try to use it to play DVD video.

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • How to get the PE9 DVD to play on the new blue ray players?

    I upgraded to PE9 because my PE2 dvd play on my new blue ray LG or Sony players.    Unfortunately, PE9 discs do not play or the other.   How to make the disks that are going to play?   It is a real disappointment, since my goal is to change the years of family videos and make a nice set of DVD pick up and watch it with the family.   I can't believe that people that I send to the family to go including our buy a DVD player (and some of them do not work either)...

    Help?   He is not much of interest to one program editing if you cannot produce a final result for video display!

    p.s. I'm happy to do all the work around that will work... burn a file on the disk and access through the data area of the BR player?    Use another program to take the exit PE9 conversion and make it playable on dvd s... anything that works is fair game.

    Thank you

    David

    David,

    DVDs created with pre will normally play on most players, if DVD or BD. However, no DVD, or BD player is certified to play ANY disc - DVD-video or BD. They are certified only to read discs replicated in trade. Some players are better at handling serious records, than others. This ARTICLE will give you more background and some suggestions to get the best possible disc.

    In a Word, two major considerations are the brand of blank media. What brand do you use?

    Then, and although it is less important than a few years ago, the media type may play a role. What type, - R, or + R, are you using?

    Burning speed can contribute to the quality of combustion, but forwards, we limit ourselves here. Pre will be a speed of blank media, the speed factor of the burner, and then choose the highest speed. Normally, it will be OK, but when things do not work, I recommend a different workflow:

    Burn the project to the file. This will create a VIDEO_TS folder, where you choose for the Destination, which will include the necessary IFO, BUP and VOB, files. At this point, I would like to use DVD software to test the game the VIDEO_TS folder. Then, we use a burning utility, as big, free ImgBurn to do the physical burn on the disc and choose the VIDEO_TS folder (with files). Here, you can adjust the burning speed. I recommend about 1/2 down the list of possible speeds. It takes more than a few minutes, but is often the secret to burning discs with high playability.

    I'd also look on from the mfgr of the multi-lecteur. Web site and then download and install the latest firmware for this model drive.

    Once finished, test the drive in the Multi-lecteur on the computer using the DVD playback software. If it works, then the disk is fine, but could not yet be seen by a set-top player, and this is where the first two steps we just get the best possible drive.

    Good luck

  • How to swap the DVD on Qosmio X 300 - GS player?

    Hi guys,.

    Could someone tell me how to remove the dvd player ready to swap in a new HD-DVD or Blu - ray player?
    I saw on here that someone said that it is really easy with only a screw... could someone tell me which screws?

    In addition, any recommendations for a player good HD-DVD/Blu-ray install in the lappy?

    Bravo guys,.

    :-D

    Hello

    To remove the optical disc drive the Qosmio X 300 is not so easy. As a first step, you need to remove a small screw placed near the third (in the middle) placed down cold air. Unfortunately this s not all.

    The optical disk drive is also provided by a small lock placed under the keyboard (underside near small arrow. With the special tool, you should adjust the lock in the direction of the arrow. After that, you can get out the optical disk drive.

    I don't know if it's the right idea to do this alone, because I don't know how it can affect the warranty, but that is your decision and your own risk. Be careful about this.

  • Re: Satellite M100-164 - how to get the recovery disk?

    Hi, I have a used Satellite M100-164. (short only model no psma0e)

    Its a M100 changed for the Middle East market as well far as I can tell its basically the same as the European models of M100, except with a smaller hard drive.

    I bought it in a store of play (Computer Exchange in London), but it did not come with a recovery disk.

    Also, I was a little too active pro removing unwanted software of the machine, so I have not installed the Toshiba tools that would be able to create a recovery disk.

    Now I need one because I want to install a bigger hard drive and then re - build the operating system (which is XP)

    * So my question is, where and how do I get a recovery for this notebook drive? *

    I tried to use https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu, but it did not work because the serial number was not recognized (probably because it is a region of the Middle East series no)

    is there another way to get the Toshiba recovery disks? I'm happy to pay a little for one.

    Hello

    In most cases it is possible to get the EPA recovery disc in your country.
    But this is not always possible if the laptop model is too old or abandoned.

    Therefore, get in touch with the ASP guy and ask for more details.
    Maybe you are a lucky man and could get this disc.

    If you will not get this disc, you will need to install the OS by using the MS XP disk.
