Hello
Well, it is possible to distance it's the brand of double layer discs
you use (assuming that the drive can read discs double layers).
Or the drive has a hardware problem.
I hope this helps.

If I buy adobe Elements 10 or later what software should I make the DVD to mov files, the files are large and I know they must be compressed and I don't want to lose quality... I know that adobe pro you still need software, but will still work with the elements and may itself make the compression... I know it can burn DVDs...
vidog
If you burn to a DVD disc in first items 10 and later versions, some choices are
a. DVD-VIDEO standard screen or 4:3 16:9 on DVD disc
Both will have the frame size of 720 x 480 pixels. But the big screen comes with a 16:9 flag that extends approximately 856/480 16:9 display video after encoding. The screening is not adjustable by the user... and you end up with the DVD-VIDEO format @ 29.97 images per second interlaced.
b. format of the AVCHD on DVD
Here is the video display 1920 x 1080. And, depending on the version, can be 29.97 images interlaced per second, or 23.976 progressive frames per second (if not just 29.97 images per second interlaced). Although you can generate some AVCHD DVD with a regular DVD burner, DVD AVCHD is in need of a blu - ray player that supports supported AVCHD DVD or one of these drives multimedia multi which is also.
c. If the player allows... you can export your Timeline file saved on a USB Flash drive and then insert this USB Flash drive in the drive to get the reading of the file. On this route, you can set the Premiere Elements avancΘs to customize your choice of export preset.
Please consult the bulletin and consider then, let us know if we have targeted your question. If this isn't the case, please give more details in the areas where we do not have.
Thank you.

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.

its does not show when I go on the computer and even when I click on the dvd player it says insert disc. I tried to open it with internet explorer, bu without result. If it's important, the game cd that I play more often are the tycoon series. BTW, there is no episode of windows 8, he has already been given. Thanks in advance.
Ive also tried using the cmd command prompt and using this long code and restart but it did not work. It shows the dvd player, but the game is not there.Hello
Thank you for the update.
I suggest you to contact Samsung support to get the drivers for the CD/DVD drive and install them. They will give you information on the replacement of the physical part. When you install the drivers, you will find them in the Device Manager as well.
You can follow the steps in the following article.
Discs will not play correctly
If the problem persists, then I suggest you to contact Samsung support for any future reference.

I bought a Dell Inspiron mini 910 3 years. Finally, the DDD HD is dead. I'll order a replacement part and I have the OS to load on a bootable flash so I can recharge it. However, the code that is on the sticker on the bottom of my netbook for loading/activation of the Microsoft XP Home OS has been partially disappeared and I can't read some of the code... How / who can I get my hands on this information written down, so I can reload my operating system? I don't want to have to go buy a new operating system. I got my delivery, all material provided with my computer, etc. so I can prove that I acutally bought. I can even read the code to verify.
Help, please.

Hi all
My hard drive died so I put a new in and installed Windows on a drive, but when I have just activated and put my product key does not work. In fact, I get this day by putting in and then it says character not aloud.
Please can someone help? All I've done is put a new hard drive in but guess that Windows detects that the product key has been used on the old, which explains why it won't work on the new. What should I do to activate the key?
Thank you
Richard
Thanks a lot for your useful replies. I've got in contact with Microsoft and they gave me a key and it worked!
Thank you

Vista Media Center will play is no longer the DVD or TV?
Windows vista media Center will not play TV, although he did it again and it will not read the DVD more, but there again. The answers would be gratefull.
OK, forget the TV, I have now it works well.
But I still can't read the DVD.
After having put in a disk, it makes a funny sound as if she is looking for the disc backwards & fordwards permanently. After some time when nothing is happening and I'm going to eject the disc, a popup said cannot detect a disk.
This happens on the plant as well as those burned discs.
What happens if you try to play outside of the WMC?
If it is it may be a disk problem. -
