  Windows vista media Center will not play TV, although he did it again and it will not read the DVD more, but there again. The answers would be gratefull.

  OK, forget the TV, I have now it works well.

  But I still can't read the DVD.

  After having put in a disk, it makes a funny sound as if she is looking for the disc backwards & fordwards permanently. After some time when nothing is happening and I'm going to eject the disc, a popup said cannot detect a disk.

  This happens on the plant as well as those burned discs.

• Vista Media Center DVD Player not to return to previous position

  Hello and thanks.

  I have Vista Ultimate and I dive into the wonder that is Vista Media Center. It has a great feature! However, one of the points I noticed that lack is the DVD player does not playback from the previous position. As far as I know, there is no option in the GUI. In a spirit of clarity, let me give body to what I mean:

  If I play a DVD movie and stop it in half way through and close Vista Media Center, then restarts VMC and DVD playback, the DVD starts from the beginning and not the position that I stopped. It is not only boring, it is a feature of all the other DVD players I have used offers.

  So, my question is this: How can I activate previous position reading recovery in VMC?

  Hi AShimon,

  Thank you for visiting Windows Vista Microsoft answers forum.

  There is no option in Windows Vista Media Center to resume playback where you left off, after the closure of the Media Center.

  However, I will propose you to pause the video you play and then lock the computer if you do not use or else you can also continue to work on the computer after pausing the video. Whenever you want to watch the video from where you paused just click on the 'play' button.

  Please let us know if it helps.

  Thank you and best regards,
  David

  Hello

  Best estimate is video driver related but the real error code would help to determine the cause and the best solution
  of the action.

  Look in the Event Viewer to see if something is reported on these reboots.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Here are a few ways to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the info from the blue screen that would be
  Help. Such as ITC and 4 others entered at the bottom left. And any other information such as STOP error
  codes and info like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

  As examples:

  BCCode: 116
  BCP1: 87BC9510
  BCP2: 8C013D80
  BCP3: 00000000
  BCP4: 00000002

  or in this format:

  Stop: 0 x 00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo)
  Tcpip.sys - address blocking 0 x 0 00000000 000000000 DateStamp 0 x 000000000

• Burning DVDs with Windows Media Center

  Why does take so long to burn a dvd of a movie that I recorded with Windows Media Center Vista?

  Is there another way to upload videos/movies recorded with Windows Media Center on a dvd?

  I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64.

  What determines how long it will take to burn the DVD?

  The following factors play a role in how long it will take to burn a DVD:

  • Available system resources on your computer. The speed of your computer processor, the amount of available disk space and amount of RAM play a role in determining how long it will take to encode the video and burn it to a DVD.

  • The speed of your DVD burner, as well as the type of recordable DVD media you are using. A faster DVD burner with faster recordable DVDs results in a decreased once burning, compared to burning a DVD with a DVD burner slower more slowly the recordable DVD.

  • The length of the video on the DVD. When you use Windows Media Center to create a DVD, all the video and audio must be converted to a file format audio and video that a DVD player can decode and play. Long videos take longer to burn.

    You can include digital images and music on the DVD when creating a slide show. Photos and music are encoded in the MPEG-2 and Dolby audio, Digital video format and consequently, they will increase the time it takes to create and burn slide show DVD.
