• When I play a DVD on Windows Media Player I get almost no noise through the external speaker on my laptop

  Original title: no volume when playing DVDs

  When I play a DVD on Windows media player I get almost no sound through the external speaker on my laptop. I get some, but it is too weak to really enjoy the movie. If I use headphones I can hear the DVD very well, and I can hear the clips DVD sample provided with my computer on my speakers and headphones. If the computer can generate the volume correctly, but something goes wrong, whenever I try to play a DVD that is not on my hard drive. I tried every button volume already. Thank you

  Hi amorchien,

  1. He played very well earlier?

  2 have you tried to play the DVD in another computer?

  Step 1:

  In Windows Media Player.

  a. click on tools and select Options

  b. click on devices and click on DVD, then select Properties.

  c. make sure that Rip and playback are in digital mode.

  Step 2:

  This problem can be caused by incompatible codecs. I suggest that remove you / uninstall all installed third-party codec packs, players or video record programs.

• my laptop can not play American DVDs

  How can I go on the American DVD play on a UK laptop?

  Hello

  DVDs have a region code assignment. Change the region code can be up to five times.

  You should consider an external DVD drive (set in the region of the United States).  LG used to make a hard drive (laptop?) that would change the code of the region up to five times, then you can reset it.

  This DVD site might have the best suggestions.

  Change the region code is one of the questions and the PAL format might be another.

  Your new PC must have provided with software to play. Otherwise, I'd contact the manufacturer and see if she did or why it didn't.

• How can I play a dvd on a DVD data?

  Hello

  can someone tell me how can I play a dvd on a DVD data?

  Hello

  Which DVD Player did you? An internal drive for laptop DVD or a DVD player which is connected to the TV?
  What files you want that play you on the DVD player? Photos, Audio?
  As far as I know, you can use a burning software Nero. This software supports a lot of different modes of DVD burning. In addition, you should check what media DVD does support the drive.
  I burn my DVD with Nero photo and I can use this dvd in my DVD without any problem.

• Tecra S2 - error in an I/O device if I play a DVD

  Hello
  I use a Toshiba Tecra S2 with a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-830 s

  Now, the problem is, when I play a CD, CD-ROM, everything works. But when I want to play a DVD I especially notice that there is an error in an I/O device.
  Then I tried to renew the driver with one that came bundled with my Tecra S2(on CD by the way) but now the same DVD that I want to play is shown as empty.

  I have recently been able to read the DVD, but now he's not playing. Can someone help me?

  Hello!

  Is the CD/DVD drive listed in Device Manager correctly or you have yellow exclamation points?

  If your drive is marked with a yellow exclamation point, you must remove it from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. After that the drive will be installed again and you don t need another driver. The driver is part of the operating system.

  In addition, you must remove the upper and lower registry filters. You can find an accurate description of this document from Microsoft:

• Satellite A110: I want to play a DVD but it says: not compatible

  Hi I have a question.
  I have a toshiba satellite a110. But when I want to play a dvd, it says:
  is not compatible...
  :(

  Can't watch movies, how to... :(

  I have installed some software dvd - ram also uninstalled, restarted the laptop.

  Someone?

  Hello

  Are you using the Windows operating system that has been preinstalled on the A110 Sat?
  AFAIK almost all Toshiba laptops come with WinDVD program.
  I also assume the Sat A110 supports this software and you must use it to play the DVD s.

  One question; What DVD did you play? An original or a copy?
  The portable DVD Player supports different DVD region code settings.

  Please check if the region code that was chosen on the CD/DVD drive supports your DVD media!

  For example; you will not be able to play the DVD we s if the region has been set for region 2

• Unable to play buray on computer laptop cl 2137 Pavilion dv7

  Title says it all.  To day running Win7 Home Premium.  Vista originally.  No recovery partition, but have recovery discs.  Tried the last Media Smart version4.1.4328, also known as: sp50486.exe.  Update within Media Smart takes me to Cyberlink, but does not help. It's a recurring problem since I bought the laptop in 2009-10.  The laptop recognizes that the disc is in the drive.  It does not play regular DVD movies.

  Hello

  If you use HP MediaSmart DVD to read Blu - ray disc, try the following.

  HP now provides a Cyberlinks PowerDVD version which seems to be a better solution.  Download the latest installer for it on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

  When the download is complete, open windows panneau Panel configuration, open programs and features, right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - once this process is complete, restart the laptop.

  When windows has reloaded, open your downloads folder and double-click Setup for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once this done, see if your Blu - ray disc now plays OK.

  Kind regards

• DVD starts, stops, will not play the DVD. No icon on the control panel

  I have a HP G72-B66US laptop. A few days back I burned a DVD - RW, since then the DVD will not play a DVD. It starts, then stops. 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. I can't use a recovery disk because it will not play the disc drive. Can someone help me on this? Thank you. Is there a place I can download a disk drive?

  Thank you
