• Satellite A200 PSAF0A - cannot use the DVD writer / reader more

  Hello
  Anyone has any advice on this?

  Laptop: Satellite A200, PSAF0A
  Require: DVD burner / player sofware.

  My hard drive died last week, so a techno guy installed a new and reinstalled the OS (Vista)... everything works fine. But don't have Toshiba Utilities for the use of the DVD burner / player more. Where is it? I downloaded the player to DVD from Toshiba, but it does not work. It doesn't do anything. Media player plays sound but no video.

  The software that I used to play DVDs accompanying the package when I bought it; InterVideo WinDVD I remember well.
  I downloadeded V 8, but it does not work either. I need Codecs etc, right?

  Looked at Toshiba Europe site for the DVD player, but I think it's the same DVD s/w that I have already downloaded.
  But there is no download of my model, PSAF0A (Satellite A200) in all cases.

  I do not have the CD - they are comfortable in another country! (Unless, of course, my nephew is using them as a frisbee that could well be the case). Help!

  It seems that Toshiba do not publish the DVD software on the site... maybe its due to the issues of the region / license?

  Try AVS DVD Player (its free).
  If you need a MPEG2 codec, install ffdshow

• Satellite M40 - DVD / CD player - reading and writing problems

  Hello

  You know that not all CD/DVD media are compatible with all readers.
  As far as I know that you will find information about the support of CDs and DVDs in the user manual.
  However, I use TDKs and I m very satisfied with them.
  In my opinion, you should test several media.

  DVD decoder not installed?

  I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
  A few weeks ago, I played DVD on my computer. I would like to know what is happening. Any ideas/suggestions?

  I tried to play one of the same DVDs I played before... same message.  Nothing to my knowledge has been removed from my computer and I'm the only one with access... "very confused.

  Thanks if anyone can help.

  Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.

  The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.

  Using Media Player version 10 or 11?

  the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert).   It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.

  because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)

  So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing.  Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.

  Have a great day!
