Qosmio G30 - E10: no reading DVD with "Toshiba HD DVD Player.

Hi all

If I try to play a normal DVD (not a HD-DVD) with the Toshiba HD-DVD player software, I get the message next to the HD-DVD player:

"This player has no DVD Playbackfunction. Please try an appropriate for the DVD playback application.

HD-DVD drive's current firmware. HD-DVD's on current patchlevel 4.20.16.
DVD with InterVideo WinDVD playback works fine!

Laptop is a Qosmio G30 - E10, with Vista Ultimate (factory standard).
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely
Uwe

Hello

Did you ever ask yourself why Toshiba install two players on this laptop HD-DVD? Probably not.
With short words: HD-DVD player is designed for playback of HD-DVD only movies. To watch regular DVD movies with a DVD player. For this application use WinDVD player.

Goodbye and enjoy your great laptop Qosmio.

  • Qosmio G30 - Question on HD DVD player

    Is the DVD-ROM on Qosmio G30 (PQ31) write HARD disk drive HDD DVD or is it only possible to read?
    I want to test drive HARD DVD - ROM, but I can't find (high definition) movies on the web, but I'm sure that somewhere I can find videos in high definition, does anyone know a website where I can download videos in high definition? Thank you

    Hello

    I found the following specifications:
    CD-ROM (Read)
    CD-R(Read/Write),
    CD-RW(Read/Write),
    DVD-ROM (Read)
    DVD-R(Double Layer) (read/write),
    DVD-RW(Read/Write),
    DVD + R(Read/Write),
    DVD + R (Double Layer)(read/write)

    HD DVD-ROM(Double Layer) (read)
    HD/DVD-ROM (DVD) (Read)
    HD/DVD-ROM (HD) (Read)
    HDDVD-R (Read)

    This means that the HD DVD can be read only. In my opinion the next generation of HD DVD players will be able to write HD DVD blank media. Videos high definition, you can find on the Microsoft page somewhere (forget the link). It is interesting that on a few films real pages you will find trailer download HD Google a bit.

    Hello

    It's really not easy to say why it happens. I think that it of difficult to reproduce this problem, because it happens that sometimes ;(
    You said you are using Vista Ultimate.
    Have you checked if this happens using the Vista OS since the Toshiba Recovery CD?

    It would be very interesting to know if this occurs on laptop with Toshiba to factory settings.

  • Qosmio G30 crashes when loading dvd blank media

    I have a fairly new Toshiba Qosmio G30 laptop. I recently discovered that the DVD-R or CD - R blank media insertion causes the system crash BSOD blue screen of death. At the moment I have not tried with other types of media. However, DVDs and pre-recorded CDs play perfectly well. After the BSOD re-boot system and sends an error report to Microsoft.

    Y at - it a good soul out there who can give me a suggestion as how to solve this problem, is this a known problem or common? I was not able to find anything on Google.

    Hello

    According to the Microsoft Online Crash Analysis, the BSOD was caused by the unknown device driver.
    But it's very strange because the device uses a common MS Windows driver for a CD/DVD drive.

    A question: have you used the OS from the Toshiba restore CD or you made some changes to the operating system?

    However, to my knowledge, not all media are compatible and taken in charge. So eventually the error message because of the use of any compatible CD or DVD.
    You will find the information on compatible media user manual.

    Update:

    Please also check this:

    -Right-click on the DVD drive-> properties
    -Go to the menu point record
    -Enable recording for the DVD player

    Maybe it's now possible to enter a blank CD or DVD

    The readers of CD/DVD slimline for laptops are controlled by the firmware.
    The firmware controls the master/slave/c-selc settings.

    You need a player that is compatible with Qosmio G30.
    Your drive you bought may be compatible with a laptop, but if the settings are not compatible with Qosmio G30/bios of the controller, then, you wouldn't be able to use it

  • Qosmio G30 / ADSL Linksys router interference with opening doc Word & Excel

    Qosmio G30 is connected via a Linksys WAG354G V2 ADSL wireless router successfully. However, when connected, double click to open a Word or Excel document causes system hang for up to 2 minutes then opens OK. The computer wireless switch allows the document to be opened immediately.

    You can also turn off the router has the same effect. The Linksys working properly through the Linksys Wireless card on an old Toshiba 2770XDVD with no grip. Two computers use XP (G30 is XPmedia Center). I don't particularly want to change the router as there should be a logical explanation/solution.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    my recommendation would be:

    -update your computer (BIOS)
    -update your operating system (Windows updates. Updates Office)
    -update your applications
    -Install the latest drivers

    May I ask what wlan card is installed in the affected machine? Should be an Intel processor, but which. I strongly recommend allows you to check the Web site of intel for the latest drivers about this card.

  • Adjust contrast and color on Qosmio G30 - E10

    Hello

    is it possible to adjust the color and contrast of the screen TFT on my G30 - E10?

    Kind regards

    Uwe Meyer

    Hello

    Do you mean the external TFT monitor or internal display books?

    Usually, the brightness of the display can be assigned and changed by using the FN + F6 or FN + F7 key combination.
    But I think that this is possible on the internal screen for laptop.

    But why you want to use it on an external monitor?
    Battery power saving is of the major reasons why the brightness of the display can be changed.
    If the laptop works on battery it s advisable to change the brightness of the display at a lower level to save the battery.

    With regard to the color change:
    Please check if the graphics card the advanced properties provides an option to change color.

  • Strange problem with Toshiba Express Media Player on Satellite M115-S3094

    I am facing a strange problem in my Toshiba M115-S3094, which has been pre-installed with Windows XP Media Center edition and which also had the Toshiba Express Media Player.

    I had already done a clean install of Vista on it, and then I decided to go back to XP with my recovery DVDs. I did the same procedures of first installation Express Media Player to backup (that I did when I bought the laptop) and then installing Windows XP DVD de Toshiba Recovery XP.

    The steps included:
    1 deleted recovery Express media player disk partitions
    2. installed express media player
    3 extracted Xp Recovery DVD, by selecting 'Recover without changing the Partitions' (there is no expert mode)

    Everything was fine (i.e. installation)... But now, after the turning off my laptop I press the Express Media Center button, the logo "Express Media Player" appears on the screen after loading of closures of laptop for 5 seconds.

    I tried to open it again and again, but the logo is displayed for 5 seconds and then my laptop stop...

    Laptop works fine when I connect to windows by pressing the power button / stop.

    Can someone help me on this strange question... ?

    Hello

    The whole story is a bit confusing
    First of all, I would like to know if your laptop is already preinstalled with the Media Express Player and if you were able to use it on your laptop in the past.

    Now something about the Express Media Player installation;
    In order to use the media functions Express the Mediaplayer Express Recovery CD must be performed before performing the recovery from the recovery DVD-ROM products.

    In addition, on the HARD drive should at least 150-200 MB of free space available.
    This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated. To get these free space on party products 3rd HARD drive should be used as Partitions Magic 8.

    I m not 100% sure that on error ID system badly but maybe it corresponds to the DMI evil information stored on the motherboard. If we're not DMI, you will not be able to reinstall Express Media player using the recovery media express CD.
    In the DMI must be set properly the manufacturing: Toshiba, product name: for example by Satellite M115-S30

    Finally and most importantly, I found this thread useful forum on the Media Express recovery procedure:

  • Ulead DVD Movie Factory on Qosmio G30

    Hi all

    I have a Qosmio G30-194. That came with Windows media center, but I update for Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
    All the drivers work fine except the VIDEO IN and S-video ports.

    When I downloaded from Toshiba Center dvd movie factory 5.51.0147.05 downloads, they said that it is the correct driver for it.
    But does not work because during the course of the installation, the program says "the installation program can't find Ulead Dvd Movie factory 5 installed on your system.
    Seems to me I downloaded at Toshiba, just a pach file.

    I can't install Dvd Movie Factory to retrieve original dvd because there are different file.
    If you have tips, please let me know!

    Thank you very much!!

    Hello

    > When I downloaded from Toshiba Center dvd movie factory 5.51.0147.05 downloads, they said that it is the correct driver for it.
    I wonder about this sentence.

    As far as I know as the Ulead Dvd Movie factory 5 is additional software which can be downloaded from the Toshiba page. There are on the Toshiba and the image are on the Toshiba Recovery CD. This is an OEM version and can be installed only on Toshiba laptops you.

    So if you want to install on the Vista operating system, you have to buy a full version!

    Incidentally: the gift of ports S-video and VIDEO-IN t need all drivers! To capture video you need a 3rd party software like Ulead Dvd Movie factory, but you can also use other programs as well.
