• Solution for DVD playback choppy on Satellite Pro A100

  Hello!

  I had this problem twice on my Toshiba laptop (Satellite Pro A100 bought in April 2006): the DVD used to play very well, but now (perhaps after an update of the driver or installation of software, I not sure what causes this) DVD playback is choppy, distorted sound. This occurs throughout all media players on Windows XP (for example, PowerDVD which came with the laptop) or Windows media player.

  I searched the internet far from a solution and finally found how to solve this problem:

  Go to Device Manager, select the "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" section, and then select the "second IDE channel", right click and 'uninstall '. (There are two second IDE channels, if you know which then just uninstall both.) Restart Windows XP, Windows XP will automatically reinstall the drivers without the need to download anything. Subsequently the DVD Player reads normally.

  The symptoms of the problem, apart from DVD playback choppy, are the "transfer mode" gets stuck on PIO for a reason, and bring back to DMA with no opportunity to spend. I have no idea what software or driver causes this, or why, but if this is your problem too, if you think that this solves.

  Cool, thanks for the inquiry and the nice information.
  Could be useful to others here in the forum.

• Satellite Pro M50 DVD playback issues

  Hello
  When I got to my laptop the DVD player worked perfectly well. Now, every time I have read the DVD the CPU peaks at 100% constantly, & video skips & freezes & the sound skips & POPs every two seconds.

  I am still under my M50 with standard spec, all I've done is upgraded the RAM to 2 GB. The DVD player is a carpet * a DVD/CDRW UJDA770 & I'm running on Windows XP SP2. I have about 8 GB of space on my HDD remaining.

  Someone at - it ideas? I searched updates driver for the player, but can not find. I tried DVD playback on the two WMP11 & for the Intervideo Win DVD & I get the same problems.

  Hello

  just a small suggestion:

  Clean your hard drive of unnecessary programs and uninstall everything that has to do with reading/Codecs and the like.
  Then, reinstall your DVD program and try again.

  If this didn t helped you can backup all your data, recover you the system with the restore CD but don t install any other 3rd party software but install "K-lite Codec Pack", then Windvd. After performing these steps, check if it work s.

  Work since some programs are should know disrupt a correct reading of certain media such as DVDs.

  Good luck and good weekend

• Satellite A105-S4344 - DVD playback is slow & audio is choppy

  I'm having a problem with DVD playback on my a105-s4344.

  DVD playback is delayed, slow and audio is choppy and delayed also.

  BUT the movies that I play through iTunes work well, those who are bought and on my hard drive.

  It only occurs with DVDs I try to play in any program I try to play the movie.

  I tried several movies, new, old, burned, bought, etc.

  All the same problem.

  Help. I don't know what to do.

  Hello

  If this delay seems to play only the movies and audio by using the CD/DVD drive, then you should check this short work around:

  1) access Device Manager
  (2) expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI option
  (3) go to the primary IDE channel-> properties-> Advanced settings
  (4) here, you should check if DMA if available has been chosen
  If it s not set to DMA if available, then remove the primary IDE channel of the list of devices and reboot the laptop.
  After that the laptop has started again, check again the single point and check if DMA if available appears again

• Qosmio G40-108: bad quality video/DVD playback

  I have new Qosmio G40 108 loaded with Vista Ultimate and am very disappointed with the quality of video/DVD playback compared to the older machines loaded with XP. Seems insipid depth bland, not really the color and not too strong. I tried another laptop of another manufacturer and pretty much the same thing!

  What is Vista's fault? You want to try XP but blocks me when I boot with XP disc in. I would like to run the two to see if there is a difference. (Sorry to all if this appears as message repeated hurry but bad touches earlier - starting!)

  I don't have a notebook, G40 but I use the Vista OS and I must say that the video and the quality of the DVDs is great!
  Don't know what DVD software you use, but I use the WinDVD and Windows Media Player. Two applications provide the same quality.

  > I tried another laptop of another manufacturer and pretty much the same thing!
  According to your own statement I don't think that there is something wrong with the Qosmio G40 laptop because you have the same opinion on the other non-toshiba computer.

  PS; I wonder why you start always different threads on the same topic:

  However, if you wish, you can test the XP if the same phenomenon occurs with other OS.

• DVD playback is not enabled for this player (message on the screen)

  I recently bought a new laptop.  It came with windows vista Basic.  When I try to play a dvd with windows media player, you will see a warning message; DVD playback is not enabled for this drive.  The DVD will go ahead and play anyway (I keep x - lying off the warning area), but there is no sound.  I looked in the 'set as default' under the speakers and the sound, but he had no other choice
  available.  So if I could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

• Need help dv4t - remote and DVD playback software

  Hello

  I have a new 1400 dv4t that came with Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I did a clean install of Vista Ultimate 64 bit and realized that some drivers and software are missing on the HP website. My remote (it has media player, dvd and volume buttons) does not work. In addition, the laptop came preloaded with some software for playing DVDs that worked very well with my remote control, but I couldn't find any dvd playback software to the HP Web site. Chat and phone support with HP was not supportive.

  Someone help me please get the right driver for the remote control and the DVD playback software.

  Thank you

  Maybe it's Quick Play

  Not so long ago, I bought this Satellite A660 - 11 m and I am extreemly happy with it. Graphics capabilities are perfect for my games.
  One thing however, I noticed that the video playback is very grainy, especially with the DVD. I tried to use the best software like Cyberlink Power DVD DVD playback.
  Is it possible that I can improve the clarity of the video and remove the adhering and afterimage?

  Any help would be greatly apreciated.

  Maybe you checked the first Blu - ray movies and later when you use DVD quality is not very good. ;)

• Equium M50-244 run the Stop error after DVD playback

  If anyone can help with tips here. All watching my laptop DVD crashes with a runtime stop error which forces a closing down of the system. It's then a capricious beast in reverse that the screen remains blank and does not start start. When it decides to launch it is slow at the start and has on occasion crashed again. Report error screen Windows indicating that this is a MISTAKE STOP RUN is launched. On the game, the system slows down considerably, which means that next time I want to spend on the laptop should I go through t - he or she does not start into a nightmare. This is starting to get a little boring

  Hello

  With RUN the STOP ERROR do you mean the blue screen of death (BSOD) or what?
  What DVD player program did you use?
  Have you tried using different applications such as WinDVD or PowerDVD?

  However, I think that we should focus on the system slow downs.
  This could be caused by the high temperature if the temperature rises to a higher level, the system attempts to limit the performance of the processor.
  This reduced heat production, but slows down the performance of the laptop

  Overheating pourrait causes that the shut downs as s possible BSOD checks then perhaps you should try the cooling modules if they work at full capacity.
  Cleaning of the fan could probably contributes to

• DVD playback software alternatives

  I'm putting in place a new Acer Aspire T3-600. I uninstalled the Acer Media programme because I didn't deal with cloud storage, so now I need another DVD reading program.  Does anyone have a suggestion for a reading of DVD priced for this computer program?  I prefer to stay away from VLC or any other maybe-no-legal software, but I don't want to spend $50 or more simply to read the occasional DVD.

  Windows machines 8 Acer/gateway that I bought had a more conventional DVD playback software.  I wish I could find something more like this...

  Hi AlanH, I usually use Media Acer as a video player to play the video, music and DVDs are also played by the present, you could have a try.

  If you have uninstalled this app, you can check if you could find Acer eRecovery Management and see if the application can be recovered.
