MY DVD WILL NOT PLAY DVD

WHEN I PUT IN A DVD IT SAY INSERT A READABLE CD

Hello

Please do not type in capital letters as it is difficult to read and considered to be shouting.

You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
correctly.

A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

Several good info here:

Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives
http://www.repairfaq.org/repair/F_cdfaq7.html#CDFAQ_014

===========================================

Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
a process that solves the problem.

Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
below.

Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
contacts data with a pencil eraser.

Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

===============================

Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
do it right.

Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
the correct registry entries for your car.

Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
the parameters.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
drive from someone with the same model.

Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

I hope this helps.

  • C50-A-137-SU-208BB ODD satellite will not play DVD

    Hello

    My laptop Toshiba C50-A-137 (Windows 7 64-bit) has the following disk drive: * TSSTcorp CDDVDW SU - 208BB SCSI CdRom dur.*

    The problem I have is that he will not play the James Bond 'Skyfall' DVD (Region 2 discs). The disc is played on two other laptops (non-toshiba) and two different DVD players at home. If the disc is not defective!

    I need to insert the disc to download my digital film copy (I have itunes etc on this Toshiba laptop).

    Spins just to drive on a couple of times, but is not recognized as having a content. If I double click on the drive in the windows Explorer I get the message "insert disc" as if there is no disk in the drive.

    * I am hoping it is used a later driver for the disc drive of SU208BB as the current (a more recent available) appears to be - version 6.1.7601.317514 of the year 2006

    This driver is now 7 years! must be a newer driver to help me read this DVD?

    > This driver is now 7 years! must be a newer driver to help me read this DVD?
    First of all: it of not a driver problem. All computers preinstalled with Microsoft Windows system use the internal driver of Microsoft, which controls the optical disk drive. It is necessary for the recognition of optical disk driver but he s not responsible for media playback compatibility.
    > Other discs (CDs and DVDs for the software installs mainly) have all worked well.
    This confirms my idea that you, CD/DVD drive works fine.

    > All later driver or firmware etc available during 2006 for this drive?
    Where these packages would be available, you'd find on the page of the Toshiba UE driver (in Satellite C50 driver download area - A). But I checked the page and this firmware update is not available. This means that there is not.

    What you could do is to check if your CD/DVD drive has region 2
    This can be done in the properties of the CD/DVD drive: right click on the CD Player / DVD-> properties > Hardware tab-> CD Player / DVD-> properties button-> DVD region

    Where his game for region 2, I recommend you to clean the lens using cotton tip and liquid alcohol. Do this carefully and gently. This could help.

    If not I guess it's just a problem of compatibility between disc and player

  • Pavilion Desktop PC p7-1414: DVD will not play video

    All of a sudden my DVD will not play on my computer.  DVD will play the data but not video.  Check Device Manager, which States that the device is functioning properly.  Insert other discs that have always played, but now they are not. Videos will play, however, on television.  No new hardware installed to cause a conflict. Checking for updates for the driver, but there are no new updates/drivers to install.

    Success... Thanks a lot for the downloads.  I currently have 8 CyberlinkPower2Go for burning, but the best new version I guess.  Maybe he would correct music hushed on broadcast television.  Thanks again... you saved a LOT of frustration!

I uninstalled the drive and reinstalled the driver several times, but when I look at the Device Manager the DVD has the top yellow triangle.

    To resolve this problem, remove the affected filter drivers. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, type regedit in the Search box, and then click regedit in the programs list.
    2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password, or click continue.
  • House DVD will not play

    I made a DVD on a DVD recorder.  He plays very well on this DVD player and other DVD player.  However, it will not play on my PC (which is P6210 with Windows 7).

    Explorer Windows actually said the DVD is blank (zero points).

    Any ideas?  The DVD player manual says something "codec", but can't find anything about it on the HP support site.

    Your right to the mark. Step 9 to explain it. Even with my JVC deck, you have to Finalize the media.

  • Windows Media Center/player or my Acer arcade deluxe will not play DVDs

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem
    you're not giving us enough information. When did it stop working? If it worked
    previously, I would recommend first trying to run Windows Media Player AND Windows
    Media Center, and then again. Control Panel, programs and features, tour
    Windows feature turn on or off. Uncheck the two programs, restart. Go back and turn them
    both on reboot. This solve your problem? Otherwise, you should try a system
    Restore to a point where everything worked normally, maybe early August? By
    wait, you have only made it more difficult to triage and solve your problem.

  • My windows media player will not play a DVD

    My windows media player will not play a DVD: Microsoft Windows 95 Version 5.1 (Build 2600.XP_SP3_gdr.111025 - 1629:Service Pack 3).  Download a free version of media player to play the DVD?  Please tell me the name of the upgrade and where to find the free download version, if so.  Thank you!

    First thing that you do not run windows 95 if your build number is 2600.XP_SP3 it is a build number of windows XP.  Second, you will not be able to play DVDs using this version of windows and media player only.  The reason for this is DVD is a standard that a group of companies shut down and basically, they demand rights fees to use, it codec, which you don't have. You will need get a program that has integrated these codec (or find them somewhere).  Your best option for this is to completely abandon the but of the using Media player to play your DVD (unless you are looking to buy another piece of software).  There is a free option that I use on my machine Windows 7 Basic its called VLC is a free player that makes just about every format out there (not sure Bluray).  VLC uses its own codec (I think it's developed for the linux community orginially) rather than using the codec of the industry.  You can find the program at http://www.videolan.org/
