• Model BDP-S350 will play the dvd but not a blu - ray disc

  So far has never had a problem with my blu - ray player.  The last time I used the player, I watched a dvd movie.  I tried t watch a disc blu - ray today and I kept getting the error message "cannot read disc - unknown.  I tried 5-6 different blu - ray discs.  I made sure that the firmware has been updated and I followed the troubleshooting guide.  Nothing has worked.  It will play DVDs but not blu - ray discs.  Does anyone have a solution?

  Hi jfniep!

  You mentioned that he doesn't play Blu - ray discs? Can I know the title of the Blu - ray disc movies? It's happening on all Blu - ray discs you include those who played before?

• BDP-N460 plays not universal Blu - ray

  Has not been able to get some Blu - ray titles to play before previews. Discovered that they were universal at all. Found on another forum that everything I had to do was clear existing comics, data on the USB plugged in the back, and the problem has been resolved. Initially, I unplugged the USB but found that erase BD was the simplest solution. (BD data is accessible in the video menu loading no BD - Rom)

  Hello
  Welcome to the Forums of Discussion of the user.
  Thanks for sharing your discoveries. Yes it's true clearing the BD-Data will help with the playability of some titles. Please provide exactly the title and we will tend these questions of non-playability of the title to engineering for future updates possible.

  The reading error occurs due to a conflict with the BD-Live data. Make sure that the latest system software (firmware) update has been installed

• 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,

  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

• Satellite P855-307 will not play new Blu - ray discs

  I have a Satellite P855-307, running Windows 7 64 bit and I bought several new Blu - ray movies/shows, only to have the Blu - ray player and Blu - ray player absolutely refuse to play them.

  Examples of not playing: (all are discs region B or free disks in the region)

  TRUE DETECTIVE (HBO)
  THOR: THE WORLD OF DARKNESS (MARVEL)
  I HAVE FRANKENSTEIN (LIONSGATE)
  MAN OF STEEL (WB)
  RIDDICK (UNIVERSAL)

  I played a few recent Blu - ray discs, which are not produced by the Hollywood studios - so the hardware itself works, and in all cases the DEVICE MANAGER shows no fault for the PIONEER BDC-TD04S.

  Windows 7 64-bit is updated.
  P855-307 BIOS is up to date.
  NVIDIA display driver is up to date.

  Graphics driver on the Toshiba site is old and IBM 4000 driver download is not allowed to go forward, telling me to download Toshiba during execution of the executable.

  Drive Blu - ray from Toshiba is updated (1.05.207)

  Are you using the original recovery image (original Win7 64 bit) that you got with your laptop?

  I mean that original preinstalled OS contains all print drivers and software BD so avoid problems BD movies.

  I use the Satellite P500 with original recovery image and there is no problem watching preinstalled original BD WinDVD BD player.

• Software disc drive Blu - Ray doesn't play new Blu - Ray!

  Rather disappointed with the Blu - Ray drive at this moment!

  My machine is a Qosmio X 870, running under Windows 7 64-bit. It comes with the Blu - Ray disc player, which so far I've used with my previous purchase - the next Star Trek generation season 2, which presents - and continues--work very well.

  However, the season 3 Blu-Rays that are just out, do any work! As far as I know, the discs are not defective - they are recognized, and the structure of the file is there. I tried multiple disks, but all simply freeze them the player when he tries to load them. The screen is black (flickers sometimes) and unresponsive. There is no error message. As far as I know, this isn't a hardware problem - disks are fine and the laptop drive can play the old blu - ray without problem.

  However, these news do nothing.

  * Solved * -after a lot of searching around, managed to find a software update for the player on the Australian Toshiba site (why doesn't the European site list the Bluray Player among the software updates?).

• Pavilion DV-6149nr: pavilion dv6 does not read blu ray/dvd

  Having a problem with my blu ray/dvd player. It will read the software CD and drives very well, but does not recognize blu ray and dvd. I tried reinstalling the driver, but that solves nothing. Tried to restore my system to a point when he did read those, but it does not, either.

  So, is this fixable or should I just buy a new drive?

  Looks like the drive will need to be replaced. Reason to be after you restored and still the same problem of reading is then laser most likely has it reache use life. Reader of OD aren't so expensive that it just make sure yours is Sata connections and must match any player you just have to remove your plate and put it on the new drive and that will resemble nothing has changed.

• SlimType DVD A DS8A5SH - could not read Blu - ray discs

  Hello community...

  My machine is ASUS A43S laptop and the drive Slimtype DVD A DS8A5SH CD Rom...

  Well, I tried to play the "Blu - ray movies" and I get on the Properties tab... Unknown disc...

  NOTE: DVD movies will play fine...

  So, I tried a few things...

  (1) installed the VLC Blu - ray playback (of course) software

  NOTE: VLC player works great for DVD movies, but won't play Blu - ray...

  (2) I tried to update driver... but the driver is updated... Of course, I look on the internet and my drive is the best. Microsoft 6.1.7601.17514 release date: 21/06/2006

  And nothing I did make my CD ROM drive play Bul - ray...

  Community suggestions...?

  I am inclined to believe that the Slimtype DVD A DS8A5SH just isn't a Blu - ray player...

  Thank you

  Hello Russell,

  Thanks for the reply.

  I appreciate your patience.

  It is regrettable that the CD/DVD drive cannot read Blu - ray discs.

  However, please do not hesitate to answer, if you have other problems with Windows.

  Thank you

• New Blu - Ray HDMI sound problem

  Whenever I play a most recent blu - ray with the Mediasmart DVD application disc, I get only sound through my speakers laptop even if my TV is plugged into the HDMI port and I can say that the port is the current output device into the cursor of the mouse on the sound icon on the taskbar.  I updated the driver program and its Mediasmart as much as I could.  If I play an old blu - ray or DVD, the sound comes out of the TV very well.  In addition, any other application that uses sound works fine too.

  I tried the suggestion of HP in the FAQ where they tell me to put the "SPDIF (Digital out via HP docking station)' as the default in the sound control panel device.  But I don't get all the sounds for any application to do this.  I've noticed that the SPDIF device using IDT audio codec high definition, which is the only sound driver that I can update.  The NVIDIA HDMI output device which is under it in the control panel uses the NVIDIA High Definition audio instead, and I don't know how update if necessary.  Any suggestions?

  BTW, I use a laptop HP HDX 16 with Vista Home premium 64-bit.

  I had the same problem.  Here's what worked for me:

  Remove the drive blueray disc.

  Reboot the laptop.

  Turn on the TV and select it's an HDMI input.

  Connect the HDMI to the TV cable to the laptop.

  The display shall transfer to the TV (laptop becomes black)

  Open the Mediasmart drive.

  Select DVD

  Open "Settings" (the gear symbol)

  Click the tab "Audio".

  Select "HDMI passthrough" and apply.

  NOW, put the blueray disc in the drive.

  Give it some time to start on its own.

  (Note; If you try to adjust the "settings" with a disc in the drive, or without going through the HDMI cable connected, the "HDMI" passthrough not appear as an option.)

  Now that I have followed this procedure, I got no additional problem. TV audio plays, not the laptop, and I can use my home theater sound system to take the "audio" television and he takes in my cable box (and increase the volume of the TV at the bottom).

  I hope this helps. I was pulling on my hair until I discovered this. Let us know if it works for you.

• No matter how lucky I could exchange my DVD player to a Blu - Ray player?

  I have a CL of 3067 HP Pavilion DV7 that has a combo DVD player and I was wondering if I could put a Blu - Ray combo drive comparable in its place. According to what I read the laptop is fully compatible with the new Blu - Ray standards under the drive of course.

• new blue ray to old 5.1 surround player

  Hello! I have an old Sony STR-SE391 surround sound system. The time has come to replace the DVD drive. I want to replace it with a new Blue Ray Sony player. However, the entries of the surround receiver use 6 RCA cables. New players have of course plans for this. If there is some way I have hanging a new player until this old surround system? Thanks for any help!

• Media Smart DVD, not so smart... Will play only some blu ray, not all.

  When I get a computer with a drive blu - ray I expect to read blu ray discs... all of them. It works with some but not all.

  Records, it does not work with, what happens is it will ask me 'Do you want to check updates' and there will be a box to check yes or no. Basically, it will say disc is ready to play, just play to push. Easy right? HELL NO.

  If you check Yes, it will make the symbol of the wait little and the request of updates, then come right away and you still ask once, a circle without end to check updates. If you press n, it will go away, then you have a few options, one is to open the menu and see if there is actually an update... No. no updates it. the other option is to do what he says and push the game because he thinks that the blu ray is ready to play. Once I press play it starting to think and appears as "you want to check for updates" again. It's so frustrating. HEY HP, FIX CELA DUMB TRAP CIRCULAR THAT USED LET ME WATCH BLU RAY.

  And it is a blu - ray disc video block buster movie. Not some copied disk random. So, I know that it is not the disc.

  After spending a lot of time chatting with their service Dept. It seems that this will not work until the next update mediasmart. The technician told me to use Cyberlink power dvd 10 until then, I downloaded the free trial version, and it worked fine. Thus, they have 30 days until my free trial exhausted.  We will have to see.

• Still is not complete the process of generation of new Blu - Ray

  Hello, I'm having some trouble with still and hope someone can help out me. I built a menu for my Blu - Ray which is quite simple and I encounter is not complete the build process while trying to make a menu. I made sure to check for errors before you build a picture and he said there was not. I don't really know what else to say that everything else is pretty standard. I use a background of movement which is about 8 minutes long with a sound that is about 12 seconds of time for my menus. I don't know if audio will be repeat or just play once, but I hope for the former. If not, I'll have to go to audio, a bunch of time in SoundBooth in a loop then import who. Anyway, he shouldn't be doing the build does not work.

  I tried to uninstall QuickTime, reboot my computer and build again (because I heard other codecs can cause conflicts with yet) who solve a mistake that was rising but the construction stops making a menu now. I use the CSI version if that matters. I'll try and reinstall again now but would like to another entrance in case it does not work. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

  When a project has had many (which can still) be only 1 errors, simply make a change are not enough. To test possible specific questions, start a new project with a new name and use only what you need to test the issue. And in your case, if you have not already, I would start the project from scratch. You can import the psd menus.

  Anyway, he shouldn't be doing the build does not work.

  I guess he could do the build works do not, especially if the problem is the menu that you declared.

  See for the duration of the menu and timing issues.

  Audio short will play and stop. The video will probably set the duration of the menu.

  the construction stops making a menu now.

  What happens if you use the option "Make the motion Menu".
