HP ENVY 17 TS j078 laptop will not play blu ray dvd
I just got a HP ENVY 17 TS j078 Notebook PC
I had to call the assistance that he would not play a dvd.
They have installed VLC MEDIA PLAYER and dvd movies now work.
I understand this particular laptop also plays blu ray dvd, I tried several but no luck.
Any suggestions before I waste2 hours with HP support!
Hello:
Yes, this model confirms that it is not a blue ray player, just an optical drive DVD - RW.
You can see a post similar to the link below where someone had a different brand with the same drive laptop and could not play Blu - Ray discs.
http://Rog.ASUS.com/Forum/showthread.php?9543-G74S-does-not-play-Blu-ray-discs
If he were a blue ray player, he has been tagged BD instead of DVD xxxxx xxxxx.
That's how my blue ray player is tagged.

Burned DVD will not play on a DVD player
I downloaded a 22 minute video I want to burn to a DVD in my DVD player. I tried on the DVD-R and DVD + R. They burn the disk but will not play on the DVD player. The error message indicates that the reading is not available on this disc. I used the windows search support to problem solve on my own, but have had no success. I made sure that I am selecting the option of CD/DVD drive to use the ISO image format. I entered my option and I have no filters. I have the video on NTSC format since I'm Pennsylvania / U.S.. I have not tried burning on slow or average speed because it burns the DVD without problem it just will not playback on the DVD player. What do you recommend as my next plan of action for troubleshooting.
I guess that the video is not DVD compatible Mpeg2. According to the DVD player, some will play other formats, too. If there is no program for video on the computer, try Windows Movie Maker (free) to see if the video will too be converted to standard DVD Mpeg2.

disc CD - r will not play using a DVD player
When I create a movie with movie maker cd - r disc will not play on a dvd player. It comes up with 'unknown disc '. Where I'm going wrong?
Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!
Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Unknown disk error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
It is always better if you include your question in the body of your message.
Unless you had a special software that would create a video CD (VCD) your
free-standing DVD player won't play (and even then... your DVD
Player must be compatible with VCD, and some are not)Try to use a cache of DVD with Windows DVD Maker. The following links may

Laptop will not play one particular CD

My laptop, for some reason, a particular music CD will not play. This CD will play successfully on another device, and other music CDs will play successfully on my laptop. The CD is a known Editor (Motette) and others of the same series of music from this Publisher play correctly.
Can anyone help please?

HP dv6t 1200 MediaSmart app will not play blu ray dvd. Keeps wanting me to check updates
Continuous just ask application check the updates. If I select Yes or no it displays the disc is ready and just press play to start playing. Disc will not play only.
Any help
Hello
If you use HP MediaSmart DVD to read Blu - ray disc, try the following.
HP now provides a version of PowerDVD 10 Cyberlinks which seems to be a better solution. Download the latest installer for it on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.
http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe
Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.
When windows has reloaded, open your downloads folder and double-click Setup for PowerDVD 10 start the installation. Once this done, see if your Blu ray now playing the discs OK.
Kind regards

Drive DVD (d) properties
Material:
WDC WD800BB - 75JHAO Type hard drive
SAMSUNG DVD - ROM SD - 616E Type CD-ROM/DVD-ROM
Slot 0 for both.
System says that the device is functioning properly. I can't update, because I get a message that I have the most up to date available. I did the whole 'uninstall '. Once the computer is restarted, I got the "found new hardware". Yet, nothing. Only a few time a hourglass jumped to the top, but nothing has happened.
The computer simply will not play anything - no CD-ROM, dvd or cd. Instead, the drive blinks several times and does nothing.
However, the computer not only recognizes the drive, but if I hit eject. The disk opens. Once I put a cd/dvd/CD, the computer always says "Please insert a disk into drive D:".
Help, please. And I thank you in advance.

Windows Movie Maker DVD will not play in my DVD of Emerson drive
Burned DVD won't play in my dvd player. I worked on it for three days. I burned a movie on a dvd + rw disc. The film will play on my computer but won't play in my dvd player. I get "Disk error" on the screen and the disc may not have playback function. What is the function of reading and how I can change my download? I lived all the concepts of self-help, but none of them fit to my problem. I have Windows Vista Premium and have tried using Windows DVD Maker. I called the manufacturer of my drive and they said I need to finalize the disc. How can I do to do this with Windows DVD MAKER? I read articles about video editing, but when I went through the steps that I wasn't even offered the possibility to publish the video. My brother uses the same discs when burning movies and I have no problem playing his films. What I am doing wrong?
Hi BrookeMcCulley,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.
On some of the DVD player, you will not be able to play DVD + RW discs. You will need to use DVD + r (read DVD) drive and check if it works.
You can also try to use another brand of DVD disc and check.
