• Problem reading DVD and CD - RW on the Satellite 1800 412

  HI -.

  My laptop has recently stopped playing all DVD and CD - RW - ordinary CD work fine, but when I try to play a DVD or a CD - RW it whirs for a while, then I get the message "Windows cannot read this disk. The disc may be damaged, or it could be in a form that is not compatible with Windows.

  I use a Satellite 1800-412, Windows XP (home edition) Service Pack 2, and the DVD drive is a SD-C2502.

  I watched the updates of the firmware of my drive to http://www.toshiba-europe.com/storage/index.asp?nav=HOM&page=HOM&frame=home as this is often recommended for problems of this kind on this forum - but not all are available.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks much :-)

  Hello

  I read on some sites that doesn't update the firmware solves this problem.
  I recommend you to remove the drive from Device Manager.
  After restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again. Perhaps this procedure will help you solve this problem.

• Problem reading DVD (SD-R6112) on the Satellite P10 804 under Xp Pro SP2

  My Toshiba DVD SD-R6112 (P10-804) now reads no DVD-r it just to burn with Nero 6.6
  The sysmtoms/anamnesis is therefore
  (1) it used to work fine. That is, that I never had a problem with playing on the P10 DVD, that I burned on the P10
  (2) DVDs burned before (before a few weeks ago) on the P10 continues to be readable on the P10
  (3) BUT DVD burned recently (5 or 10 last burned on 2 different types of media and two different burners) can be read in the drive of P10. The DVD is not yet recognized - it sometimes changes shape explorer DVD - RW CD - R, but that's all. No file, no nothing.
  (4) these same (unreadable by P10) DVD is very well played on two other DVD players I have (Freecom USB and divx standalone player). The drive can read the DVD (USB Freecom) CDFS file system reports, no free space (Nero 6.6.0.14 was said to not to allow future sessions) and all appear normal.

  The DVD driver is Microsoft 5.1.2535.0 1/7/2001. The DVD 1031 firmware revision.

  Nero was the only program running when the DVD is burned (no file to add). The verified OK after burning DVD.
  I can't find an update of the firmware on the Toshiba site so I'm a little stuck on what to do next
  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I read in several journals, computer and on some sites that not all drives are compatible with all media. Sometimes, readers cannot read the media burned because of the 3rd party software that prevents access to the media or files.
  Generally, it is not easy to say why some readers read and write media and some readers cannot handle the same media. There are many factors.

  Sometimes, the firmware update will help you resolve problems with reading or writing.
  I found this SD-R6112 page with a driver for this device and the latest firmware version.

• Unable to read or write a CDR/RW but it is [b] no problem reading DVD [/ b].

  Feature: DVD/CD-RW-drive
  Satellite 2410 DVD_ROM_SD-R2212
  CD reading and writing worked correctly in the past.
  Device looks o.k, device drivers seem to be installed correctly.
  But the CD is reported as"unknown", "unknown datasystem. (User-burned CDs as well als proffessional CDs as for example the product recovery CD - Rom)
  The DVD are properly executed. We also have access to the data files as a DVD (4 G).
  No idea what to do?

  Hello

  You can differ if it is hard or software problem when you perform a full recovery. After that your S2410 recovery is to default settings and should work fine unless your CD drive is broken!

  If the CD drive is damaged, you must contact a Service partner and they must check that they drive!

• Satellite L20: Problem reading DVD - not synchronic sound and image

  Hi, I have a toshiba satellite L20 1.4 GHz CPU, 512 MB of ram which is only 4 months old. The problem I have is that when I try to play a DVD the image is nervous and the sound is still slower than the picture and can't seem to catch up with her. I have updated all drivers that needed updating, tried to change the video settings and tried different DVD software but it makes no difference.

  I've only tried the DVD a few weeks ago so I think it was always like that, it seems to play CD OK, although he struggles a little bit a few times when you start playback of the disc if I move the cursor.
  Does anyone know if this can be cured or I have to send again.

  Hello

  This problem appears on the original DVD's?
  I know that a similar problem could occur with some movie files or ripped DVD s.
  In this case the software that was used for the DVD copy was responsible for these issues. Sometimes after installing some codex, the problem has been resolved.

  I heard that this show on the Windows Media Center Edition has been resolved by updating the MPEG Encodeder.

• PROBLEM READING DVD DISC

  Hey everybody I really need help...
  I have Pavilion dv4 and my hard drive is HP DVDRAM gt30l and I ran a fixit and it has detected a problem with my hard drive which
  "The drive is empty, or the media format is not supported"... it started a few months ago...
  At first my laptop ran entirely and it was great to use, suddenly it stopped reading blue disks. He showed that the disc is empty and the pop-up came from a blank disc for example burn disc, how to use a blank disc, the disc showed 4.83 free GB to 4.83 GB blah blah blah... so I was looking for this fix a lot but unfortunately I found no help. Please help me!
  Thank you

• Problem reading DVD on TV

  I burned my project in a file.  It resulted in 2 files being created.

  Open DVD (12.8 MB file)

  VIDEO_TS (4.19 GB file)

  I've burned then that on a DVD

  The DVD plays on my PC, as soon as I load it. However, when I try to play on a DVD Player 2 folders appear on the TV screen and I can't get the DVD to play.

  I hope that this is a common problem with an easy answer.

  In your VIDEO_TS folder, you should have the complete structure of a DVD-video, including the IFO, BUP and VOB. This file is what the decoder DVD player must see and should launch correctly, showing either a main Menu, or if you were doing an AutoPlay DVD-Video, the video file should play.

  Now, I'm not sure I follow your workflow to 100%. Selected pre record Burn?

  Did you add any Menu set or create a DVD to AutoPlay?

  Exactly what software Windows did you use to burn the VIDEO_TS folder to disc?

  For general questions of playability, this ARTICLE might be useful.

  Good luck

• Satelitte P850-132: optical drive read DVD but not CD

  Hello

  I have a P850-132 of Satellite of Toshiba (PSPKAE) with a Mat * one optical drive DVD-RAM UJ8B0.

  I have the latest drivers for the optical drive installed (6.1.7601.17514).

  Problem: Reads DVD very well, but cannot read the CD.

  When you try to play a CD, the player makes a low clicking noise: ~ 4 quick clicks, then a second of silence, ~ 4 quick clicks... The player repeats this model by clicking silence/4 times, then goes silent. Nothing else happens.

  The drive is defective? Is there an easy way to check if it is?

  The pointers will be deeply appreciated :)

  Hello

  Looks like the laser lens is unable to read data from the CD.
  Try to clean the lens of the laser using a fluid tip and alcohol of wadding.
  In my case it helped to get the other disk works on my laptop.

• Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

  Hello

  The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

  Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

  Hi Richard,

  I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

  Hi wizzrince,

  have you checked if the Toshiba homepage provides a new firmwareupdate for your DVD player? It could be that the problems will be solved after an update!

  Go to http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

  then support & Downlad - driver update
  or see if you have a player of 3rd party manufacturer and google for the site of the manufacturer.

  Try to remove the CD/DVD filters in the registry.
  When the associated CD/DVD (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), the software is installed, they install filters in the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.

  (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
  2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
  (4) restart.

  If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).

  This utility can remove the filters for you:
