  • P70-A-11R satellite will not play Blu - ray movies

    My recently purchased P70 - A is good (great actually!) in all respects, except it won't play Blu - ray movies.
    I have not tried burning a disc again. The DVDs are very well using the Toshiba Blu - Ray disc player software.

    Help advise do not run other applications when you look at the Blu - ray and is not the problem.
    The supplied reader software version is: v 1.0.5.175 and I can't find any more recent version.
    I put the player to region B, for discs from UK.

    Symptoms: The player will launch a window on insertion of a disc but then hang indicating it's playing a chapter for a period of 30 seconds (warning copyright?) but there is no picture or audio and commands do nothing, with only Labor icon eject disc.

    I tried 4 different discs well known and they all have the same result.

    Anyone got any ideas to try?

    Hey thanks for the comments.

  • Qosmio X 500-116 will not play blue-ray discs

    Hello world

    bit of a newbie on laptops but my Qosmio dvd player won't play Blu - ray movies using the "Toshiba DVD Player", although it will play normal DVD movies no problem. I use the wrong software? search through programs pre-installed, I as ' nt seem to find those related to playback of a blue-ray disc! Or the problem would be something to do with not having the correct drivers? The laptop can read BD - RE drive, and I can look at the files but when I try and play movies Blue-ray using "Toshiba DVD player" he either says "application not found" or "launcher from DVD Toshiba cannot detect Toshiba DVD Player.

    Any help would be appreciated, thx

  • PowerDVD will not play Blu - ray

    Dell Studio XPS 8100. Drive Blu - ray. PowerDVD came with the system.

    Well, I just bought my first Blu - ray disc. And now it will not play. PowerDVD tells me to update the software. Then I do. I restart the software. PowerDVD still tells me to update the software. Then I do. I restart the software. PowerDVD still tells me to update the software. And yet again, I do.

    And then PowerDVD will not even run at all. It crashes. I can't get anything.

    No problem, I tell myself. I will contact all the customer support.

    JAL out of luck - unless I want to pay.

    Wait a minute. I paid for the software, when I bought the system. I'm waiting for the software to work.

    I have updated the firmware of the player and for my graphics card. I jumped through all the hoops. And yet, PowerDVD crashes before I can do something with it.

    So what am I supposed to do? Why won't work PowerDVD?

    I see that this is not an unusual problem with the software. However, I still have to find a solution. Can someone help me?

    The likely reason for Apple does not officially play Blu - ray support on its machines

    is that there is no way for a software playback Blu - ray should be installed and "just works.

    (Well, since all Macs since 2006 boot Camp support and XP/VISTA/WIN7 is not quite correct.  If you install windows, it works.)

    There is also no Apple Blue ray software, but he needs an active internet connection to play the media.

    A third party did a player of Blu - ray compatible Mac OS X, called Macgo.

    Options for Blu - ray authoring have come from Apple in the form of compressor in Final Cut Studio and the third Roxio Toast Titanium.

    Blu - ray burners that work with them include those sold by the calculation of the other world and MCETechnologies and both can replace the built-in DVD burner

    most Macs. AirX do Blu-ray playable on iPhone/iPad/iPod touch

    Here is a link to the web to your computer laptop support portal.

    I recommend that you download and install the appropriate operating system software HP MediaSmart DVD.

    You will find the software in the download page of drivers & software under the software-multimedia section.

    Be sure to restart Windows after you install the new driver.

    Install the current and try again your Blu - Ray disc. You check that the drive works on another player?

    Best regards

  • Re: Blu Ray drive will not play Blu Ray

    Hello world

    I bought a HP Pavilion Slimline s5395a, with a blu - ray player. However when I tried to play Harry Potter and the relics of death part 1 blu ray using HP mediasmart dvd, he came with a message saying you want to search for updates. If I pressed no or Yes, nothing happens. I also tried to reinstall it to no luck and go to the settings icon on the bottom of program updates, where there is a critical update available, but nothing happens when I try to download it. Hope you can help me with this.

    Thanks, Luke

    Hi Luke,.

    This assumes that you are running Windows 7.

    Download and install Revo Uninstaller from the link below.

    http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php

    Run revo and use it to uninstall your HP MediaSmart DVD software.  Make a right click on the program icon you want to remove and select uninstall.  During the process, that you may be asked to remove the registry entries, simply select all and then click on remove.  Do the same for any left over files and folders.  Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the PC.

    Then, download the latest installer for MediaSmart DVD on the link below and save it to your desktop.

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp50501-51000/sp50935.exe

    If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip.  Right click on the installation program you download, select Extract 7 - Zip, select the files, and then click Ok.  Open the newly extracted folder, open src and scroll down until you see the application setup ( 6th in the background with a size of 310 KB ).  This Application Configuration right click and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once the installation is complete, restart the computer and see if you can now read your Blu - ray discs.

  • BDV-E300 will not play blu - ray

    I have the latest firmware published 011 24/05/2011. I can't play the human planet (all disks in the game) or Death At A Funeral. I can play DVDs fine; I can also play other older Blu - ray disc, that I already have.

    I was told I need a firmware update, but I'm already at the latest version. What gives?

    Hello
    Welcome to the Forums of Discussion of the user.
    Or the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer-"Death At A Funeral" out June 2011 or "Human Planet" BBC publication April 2011, have been reported as non-playable for the BDV-E300. Previews play and just errors on the film itself? or are these two tracks totally unplayable.

    We sent two titles of these problems of gameplay for review. We offer you to test with another copy of the title even if possible, if one bought recently.

    I have a Studio XPS 435 t/9000 with an amd radeon r9 200 series graphics card and the hard drive is a PLDS DH - 6E2S 6 X HH SATA multiformat DVD-RW/BD-ROM. and I have cyberlink power dvd 14 ultra. all suggest how to get my computer to read blu ray update firmware of the dells site doesn't seem to work on windows 8.1.

    When you insert a blu - ray disc, open Explorer and click on the optical drive and tell me if you are able to read the contents of the disc. If you are, then the drive is fine but you need an application to read any blu ray movies. If you can not read the contents of disc, I suggest Dell diagnostics running on the drive with a blu - ray disc in the drive and perform the test of READING.
