  • Windows Media Center/player or my Acer arcade deluxe will not play DVDs

    Original title: WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER/PLAYER or MY ACER ARCADE DELUXE WILL NOT PLAY DVD CANT GET IT to PLAY anything for NOW

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem
    you're not giving us enough information. When did it stop working? If it worked
    previously, I would recommend first trying to run Windows Media Player AND Windows
    Media Center, and then again. Control Panel, programs and features, tour
    Windows feature turn on or off. Uncheck the two programs, restart. Go back and turn them
    both on reboot. This solve your problem? Otherwise, you should try a system
    Restore to a point where everything worked normally, maybe early August? By
    wait, you have only made it more difficult to triage and solve your problem.

  • C50-A-137-SU-208BB ODD satellite will not play DVD

    Hello

    My laptop Toshiba C50-A-137 (Windows 7 64-bit) has the following disk drive: * TSSTcorp CDDVDW SU - 208BB SCSI CdRom dur.*

    The problem I have is that he will not play the James Bond 'Skyfall' DVD (Region 2 discs). The disc is played on two other laptops (non-toshiba) and two different DVD players at home. If the disc is not defective!

    I need to insert the disc to download my digital film copy (I have itunes etc on this Toshiba laptop).

    Spins just to drive on a couple of times, but is not recognized as having a content. If I double click on the drive in the windows Explorer I get the message "insert disc" as if there is no disk in the drive.

    * I am hoping it is used a later driver for the disc drive of SU208BB as the current (a more recent available) appears to be - version 6.1.7601.317514 of the year 2006

    This driver is now 7 years! must be a newer driver to help me read this DVD?

    > This driver is now 7 years! must be a newer driver to help me read this DVD?
    First of all: it of not a driver problem. All computers preinstalled with Microsoft Windows system use the internal driver of Microsoft, which controls the optical disk drive. It is necessary for the recognition of optical disk driver but he s not responsible for media playback compatibility.
    > Other discs (CDs and DVDs for the software installs mainly) have all worked well.
    This confirms my idea that you, CD/DVD drive works fine.

    > All later driver or firmware etc available during 2006 for this drive?
    Where these packages would be available, you'd find on the page of the Toshiba UE driver (in Satellite C50 driver download area - A). But I checked the page and this firmware update is not available. This means that there is not.

    What you could do is to check if your CD/DVD drive has region 2
    This can be done in the properties of the CD/DVD drive: right click on the CD Player / DVD-> properties > Hardware tab-> CD Player / DVD-> properties button-> DVD region

    Where his game for region 2, I recommend you to clean the lens using cotton tip and liquid alcohol. Do this carefully and gently. This could help.

    If not I guess it's just a problem of compatibility between disc and player

  • Pavilion 500 - 205t: new Blurays will not play, older Blurays will be. Why?

    I bought your desktop of Windows 7 HP custom year last with a built-in Blu - Ray disc/drive. The player is CyberLink PowerDVD 10. A whole new movie bluray (2015) will not play because PowerDVD wants to update, but there is no update available through the recommended procedure. CyberLink said to check with HP.

    My oldest blurays (2013 and older) work very well. I don't need fancy features, I just want to watch my new bluray on my computer. I'm guessing that there is a new coding on the blurays newer that it prevents play on an older player, but what are the options I have to solve this problem?

    It is disappointing that less than a year after that HP gave me 10 PowerDVD pre-loaded, he won't play a new bluray. And on top of that, there is already a 15 PowerDVD! But I can't upgrade to that without buy download. I never had this problem reading DVD on my laptop XP with WinDVD for almost 10 years! WinDVD less at upgraded itself.

    Hello

    Have you applied this update from Cyberlink?

    New codes for Blu - Ray, AACS are constantly updated and Support HP should be able to help with the updates if your PC is still under warranty.  If your PC is not covered by the warranty, then you need to update from Cyberlink.

    You could try to update the HP Support Assistant and see if the Cyberlink updates are available.

  • External DELL GP60N USB DVDRW drive will not play DVD

    Hello

    I have a new Dell Inspiron 3531 with Windows 8.1.  The laptop came with an internal DVD/CD drive, so I bought a Dell GP60N external USB DVD - RW Drive.

    When I put a DVD in the drive that the laptop recognizes it is there, but will not play regardless of how I set the automatic run settings.

    I also searched drivers see if mine was outdated, but not found to contribute to the situation.

    Any help from the community will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Default Windows can not decode DVD video, so you will need some reading software...

    Usually, when you buy a DVD player/burner, you get with it, WinDVD or PowerDVD software for video playback and some other software if the device may also burn discs... UNLESS the material was an OEM version, which normally does not come in a box like the commercial version, then you normally get nothing...

    So for now the easiest thing is to connect the drive to the laptop and then insert a DVD into the drive. Go to the Explorer, and then right-click the DVD by selecting drive open. You should now see two folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. This indicates that Windows sees DVD disc material correctly and that he also sees the files in the DVD itself... Nothing wrong up to now...

    Now, go into the VIDEO_TS directory where you should see a bunch of files, a bunch of. BUP. IFO and. VOB files. The. VOB files contain the video code CSS while the. IFO files contain orders for DVD to play appropriate video channel (flow). Normally, the. IFO and. VOB files will have an affair with some reading software and double click on the VIDEO_TS. VOB file will launch the player. If the player is associated. Can manage files IFO CSS encoded DVD, playback will begin and you will hear the sound and see some video... If you have a drive associated with these types of files, usually autoplay will kick and the reading starts automatically on insertion of the DVD in your drive... But if you double-click and there is no software associated with this file extension, so there is no software associated with these files and you can't watch your DVD...

    But as mentioned, Windows does not capable by default DVD playback software, so you will need to install a DVD playback software... One solution is to contact the company (Dell?) who provided the external DVD player and ask them why you do not have the comercial DVD reading and DVD software of engraving that you expected would come with your hardware, they can predict it you if she should have come in your package, or they will tell you where you can download it from...

    If they won't help or they say it was hardware OEM and that it did not come with software, then consider using VLC to play your videos, as the software is free open source of quality. This page explains how to use VLC to play DVDs in Windows 8... You can also use ImgBurn for burning CDs and DVDs (not blindly just click on the buttons of large download on this web site because they are advertisements for * you need not, simply the page to the section of news where you have a download link)...

  • Laptop will not play one particular CD

    The free VLC Media Player may be
    worth a try... it will play anything.

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

    VLC Media Player

  • Satellite A100 will not play DVD

    Hi I have a Satellite A100-197 which will not play a DVD.
    The answers to this over there?

    Your ad doesn't provide any relevant information on your problem.
    Do you use a DVD player to watch DVDs? Which one?
    Since when you noticed this problem?

    Have you tested the feature with different actors and different DVD movies?

    Please provide more information that may help to a better understanding.

  • Will not play DVD on DVD player [using a Mac]

    Hi, I'm a screener for my movie with again. I can it burns very well and he plays well in my computer and on my Samsung DVD player but my Dynex XDVD2 player plays. He plays other DVDs I have. I ran into this before when I burn a DVD and give it to someone and he does ' t play in their DVD player. This could be a very important search tool and I want to make sure he plays on any DVD player, this person has, because if it doesn't it's perhaps a missed opportunity.

    I tried to burn on the settings by default and then tried a lower bitrate (6.0 MB/sec) and the lower burning speed (4 X). Still will not play in my Dynex XDVD2 reader.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    What brand of DVD?

    As a test... say still create an ISO on your hard drive and use Imgburn to do the actual writing

    Read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1322583 for notes on installing Imgburn WITHOUT any add-ons toolbar... ImgBurn to use slow burning speed your drive and use the media... I put my burning speed to 1 x and let Imgburn adjust to the real minimum
