my movies on dvd will not play on my computer no more! What can I do to fix this?

• Why some DVDs will not play in my computer DVD player?

  I have a small collection of commercial DVD movies.  Most of them come from the place of the U.S. market, and some come from Asia... He play ALL these DVD in my Phillips DVD player that is connected to my TV.

  But only some of these DVD will play in my DVD player which is in my computer Dell Inspiron 531 with Windows 7 Ultimate edition.  This computer has a DVD/CD SAMSUNG HD161HJ SCSI disk drive.

  Some of the DVDs that will play on my computer are the American market, and some of them are of the Asian market, so I don't think that this has nothing to do with why some of these DVDs will not play on my computer.

  DVDs that play fine in my Phillips DVD on my TV player that will not play on my computer don't yet seem to close at play on my computer.  The DVD that will play on my computer liquidation (you can hear the noise) in the DVD player in 20 seconds and they start playing automatically in Windows Media Player... but I welcomed all others who won't have to sit in the DVD player for several minutes each in my tests and nothing happens... There is no wind sound and all nothing is happening on the computer screen.

  This doesn't seem to be a problem with the driver software for the disk hard because some of the DVDs will play.

  None of these DVDs are buckled and all of them are clean.

  I tried two or three times test each of DVDs that won't play, the removed from drive and put them back in.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hi Dale,

  Although I never had no problem with the DVD or the CD I burned on PC, I think you're going to probably the same thing, that I've been with this internal DVD/CD player, is not a software problem, but just the characteristics of a lower quality DVD/CD player, and it isn't necessarily the symptoms of a dying man in car , but just a stock car low quality that some computer manufacturers cut corners with.
  The drive in the computer that I was referring in this thread is a DVD/CD SAMSUNG HD161HJ SCSI disk drive. Which may or may not be identical or similar to the reader, you have problems with, but the computer on which the reader is underway is a Dell Inspiron 531.
  Through the information that I've gathered on this thread and on another forum, I came to the conclusion that it's just a cheap player who gives intermittent performance recognizing various DVD, but as I said, the drive I troubleshooting always recognize DVDs and CDs that I burned in it... It was just the DVD movie that I have problems with.
  I dug my loyal reader DVD LaCie and plugged and I had no problems with him acknowledging and play ONE of my DVDs on this machine, which proves that the problem has nothing to do with the software system or DVD player software, as in the case suggested by someone else on this thread.
  Just buy yourself a Firewire drive or USB-2 DVD decent and you're probably fine.

• DVD will not play on the computer.

  my computer crashed.  The computer files were all saved, but I can't find any programs.  For example, I can no longer play a dvd.  I have Windows Media Player, but it won't play the dvd from the library movie.  Also, when I go to computer/CDrom, the CDrom is empty.

• 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.

• Everything on my screen is enlarged, and some windows/programs do not properly fit because of that. What can I do to fix this?

  I restarted, taken the battery, stop down and the problem persists. All my documents are completely expanded, I opened all the windows looks as if it is enlarged, but it is not. If I click on the maximize button, the window half fits on the screen.

  You have poorly defined display resolution. A few reasons that this can happen:

  1. a person has played one more game and the game reduced the resolution.
  2. that you have installed a video driver from Windows Update by mistake - and it is always a mistake.
  3. the video card is a failure.

  Since you did not provide a response to the first Question (see below), I can't guess what happened.

  The first Question of troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what has changed between the time things worked and the time they do not have?

  Try to set the resolution to the correct according to the instructions below. If this does not work, post is back with the answer to the first Question and some information about your computer (desktop? laptop? video card? monitor make/model, if your desktop?).

  1 start Orb > Control Panel > appearance and personalization. Click personalization, click display settings.
  2. pursuant to the resolution, move the slider to the resolution you want and then click on apply.

• My Mac is no more to receive messages from the Message Test transmission test and when I try to put it up to my Mac does not display the six-digit code. What can I do to fix this?

  I have a MacBook Air 11 inch 1.7 GHz Core i7 with 8 GB of ram and 500 GB of hard drive running El Capitan. I have an iphone running ios 9.1 6. I can't my text messages to my mac. It was working fine up to three days. I'm in messages to settings then forwarding Message text and my phone has a pop up that prompts me to enter my code to six digits of my Mac but my Mac does not produce a six-digit code to enter. Is there a way that I can apply to my mac to send a code or other difficulty I have to do?

  Thank you for your help.

  Best.

  Problems like this are often set by disconnect and connect again. Make that open the Messages on your Mac app, then select the Messages menu > Preferences... > accounts. Select the iMessage in question account (in other words, the account linked to your Apple ID and not those of other messaging services you may be using) then the logout button.

  Reconnect and follow all the other instructions included in If you cannot send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support.

  IOS update: update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support. This alone is not likely to be linked to the problem, but it includes a number of other bug fixes.

• 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!

  If you use a DVD - RW disk... you could try a DVD-R, but some DVD players
  will not play a home made DVD... not much you can do about it.

  As an experience... you could try the following freeware to burn a video DVD
