HP 15 laptop: DVD does not play smoothly. Help

I got a new laptop about a month ago. At first, I was able to watch a DVD titled "Australia" and it worked perfectly fine. Now, I have tried (unsuccessfully) to watch the other two films using the preinstalled CyberLink Power Media Player 12 (the same thing that I've used before) and it does not work. What happens is I put in a DVD in my laptop and at first when he travels the sponsors or creators such as BBC, it works fine. But then comes the time for the actual film to begin with, the first audio will play while the video itself is trying to go, and then sound stops and will wait for a good ten minutes in the wait for the video to catch up with the sound. In other words, a person walking at a normal speed from point A to point B in a normal period of 3 min now takes at least 7 min for audio (which runs faster) and the video to actually play. I tested to see if it was the drive in place, but I have songs on CD on my laptop, no problem. So I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? I am also still under warranty.

If there is a problem with the DVD material he would play no video at all so we can exclude. I'll tell you that it is a software problem so you only problems for real part of copyright subject to digital rights management. If you're ready to experiment a little, I might suggest that you try to download the VLC media player free, that will play DVDs and see if it's better.

  • Pavilion 15 laptop: DVD does not play correctly

    Hello experts,

    Last year, I bought a HP Pavilion 15 laptop but not the has not used to play DVD until last night. When I inserted the DVD, the computer gave me a bunch of files, I assumed they were the video clips. When play you a DVD on a TV screen, you see the main menu, and other options such as subtitles or film scenes that you can select to start. But I could not see these selections on my computer screen. However, at some point, they have shown. When they showed up, I was not able to click on them. Basically, I could only click Arrow Start to start the movie in its entirety, if I stopped and wanted to select certain scene in the middle of the movie, I was out of luck and unable to do so. At least three times, the DVD stopped playing and says was a mistake, then I had to restart the whole thing again.

    Frustrated, I took my old laptop Dell Windows XP and played the DVD disc it. My old machine actually has everything I wanted to, it has a control panel with all the buttons to play, Pause, Stop, Rewind, forward and sound Volume, etc. He worked as a TV and listed all the options/movie scenes I could select on what I intended to choose.

    I have a hard time believing that a one-year-old Windows 8.1 has fewer features than an old Dell XP. Is there a setting that I don't tip? Someone has an idea, which is not set correctly?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi @greengem,

    Thank you for your query.

    I understand that you are having difficulty playing your DVDs to the point 8.1 of Windows but it will play well in your XP machine.

    Microsoft did not include as many files codec in Windows 8 as in previous versions.  Here are a few links that I think can be useful:

    Windows 8 Codec Pack (from windows8codecs.com)

    Playback of DVD for Windows options (from windows.microsoft.com)

    Won't play DVD in Windows Media Player (from eightforums.com)

    Please let me know if this helped.

    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?

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

  • Can Windows Media Player XP play MTS file type? I tried, but the video does not play smoothly. Is this fix really?

    I tried, but the video does not play smoothly.  Is this fix really?

    There is a possibility that Windows Media Player could
    read the file if you rename the MTS to MPG or AVI.

    And/or...the suite of freeware Media Player can be
    worth a try.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Media Player Classic Home Cinema
    http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
    (works on XP/Vista/7)
    (The name of the file to download is: "MPC - HomeCinema.1.5.2.3456.x 86 .exe ')

    If this fails, it may be worth trying to convert the MTS file
    WMV format:

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converters are a few examples:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    (1) Sothink Free Video Converter
    http://www.Sothinkmedia.com/video-converter/
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag
    the Setup.exe from the file out of the folder and drop it on your
    desktop and install from there.

    Once installed... Open Sothink and go to... Add the files button...
    Find and select the clips you want to convert.

    Next... in the encoding settings... Choose... Video credits.
    WMV - Windows Media Video (*.wmv).

    Choose an output folder and on the left, click on the button convert.

    You can experiment with other settings later but
    This should help you get started.

    (2) format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup270.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup270.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

    Good luck...

  • exported DVD does not play

    HY,

    I'm still using cs4 (4.0.1.048) on my Win 7 Home Premium (last updated 2010-05-25).

    I created a dvd with still cs4. in preview, everything works fine (all the buttons and video work).

    Now, I want the DVD export.

    1. I tried to export the DVD folder. -> My DVD software (DVD Toshiba drive) does not have the content of the DVD-folder created.

    2. I tried to export as a DVD Image. -> My image-tool (Virtual Clone Drive 5.4.4.0) cannot open the image.

    Other DVDs and images can be played normal.

    I looked again the export parameters. On the disc-info, the size of the export is 5.13 GB.

    After the export as DVD folder and DVD-image created size is a bit smaller.

    The image of the DVD - has only 4.74 GB.

    Maybe my problem is caused by this. The question is how can I solve this problem?

    Does anyone has some useful tips?

    You will probably have a lot more luck, if you use elementary/primary workflows for your motion Menu, i.e. a single video only and a single Audio file only. For audio only, I would use PCM/WAV or fully compatible DVD AC3 DD and don't use files Multiplex (combined Audio and video streams).

    Multiplex-2 MPEG files are almost always a problem, and I stay away from them.

    Good luck

  • DVD does not play

    compatible dvd decoder for windows vista

    Cannot read DVD after that my laptop has been maintained

    Hello manqaia80,

    ·         What is the format of the files you are trying to play from the DVD?

    ·         You are not able to play any format of DVD on your computer?

    ·         What exactly you have had on your laptop?

    Windows Media Player is a complete DVD player when combined with a DVD decoder (MPEG-2 decoder) with features such as full-screen video playback controls.

    If you are running Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate, DVD capabilities are included as part of the operating system. If you are running Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista business, or Windows Vista Enterprise, you can enhance your DVD playback experience by purchasing a pack of decoder DVD or upgrade to a more powerful version of Windows Vista.

    Here is a link you can follow to display available for Vista DVD decoders:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

    If you are looking to third party decoders, I suggest that you use your favorite search engine to find compatible DVD decoders.

    Sonys and a DVD player Pioneer is unfortunately known for not being able to play a lot of disks engraved.

    You can increase the chances, though, using a brand of good quality (Verbatim or Maxell - NEVER Memorex) disc. And, rather than to burn directly to a disc, use Premiere Elements to burn to a folder on your hard drive and then use the free utility ImageBrn to burn the VIDEO-TS folder on your drive.

    ImageBrn will check the integrity of your disk after it burns, guaranteeing the best possible quality.
