• Qosmio G40: HD - DVD-> replacement of BluRay player

  Hello

  Because of the latest events and Toshiba agreeing that he has lost the format war, I wonder if it is possible to replace this HD DVD player very quickly unusable to something which will be able to read/write the future movies WITHOUT losing the warranty (G40).

  He's the boyfriend of damage:(mais je présume qu'il n'y a rien à voir.)
  The Qosmio laptop was equipped with this HD DVD player and if you want to replace the drive, so you must do this to you own hand
  I think that the warranty did not cover these replacements, but that's my own opinion. If you have contacted Toshiab for details pelase post is here. . I am very interesting about this!

• Qosmio G40-108-dvd/video playback quality

  You just bought the Qosmio G40 - 108 loaded with Vista Ultimate. EAD all reports and went for the superb view report. I am very disappointed by the quality of playback on DVD and avi (divX, Xvid, h264). The colors are bland bland and not all that sharp.

  Compared to my Toshiba 3 year, mid-range machine running Windows XP Home edition, it is pretty poor. I did not test anything.

  Am I missing something or is it the fault of Vista. I tried to load Windows XP Home edition, but could not because it came with the message "blocked" since WXP is a downgrade. Can anyone help? Please, I beg you.

• Qosmio F60 - BD DVD Player read DVD only if the theme is one of the aero themes

  I found that DVD Toshiba BD player will play only DVD if the windows theme is one of the aero themes.

  Personally I do not use aero.

  Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

  I can play the DVD using other software.
  The main attraction of using the Toshiba Software is it is the function of upconversion.

  Thank you.

  Hello hicham.

  This means that you use the DVD from Toshiba drive, but you can t without Aero theme Blu - ray game discs?

  In this case, I would recommend the DVD Player update. Just check for an update from Toshiba Web site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  Have you tested other players? Toshiba DVD player in my opinion is not important. I use VLC media player because he can play audio and video files more! :)

• Qosmio G30-176 - DVD player will not play

  The dvd player won't play or even say that there is a disc please help

  Hi Paul

  Your message is very short and you don t provide all the details, but I will try to provide the answer to a problem.
  First of all, this looks like a hardware problem. I mean the lens of the drive cannot calibrate in the right position and would have problems.
  In this case the player would not be able to manage different CDs or DVDs.

  But first, you should try this
  Access to the registry and try to remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  After this withdrawal, restart the computer.

  I read that this accelerated procedure to solve the different CD/DVD drive problem.

  But if you will not be successful then a hardware problem is possible and only a replacement of drives could help.

• Qosmio G30-175: DVD player - RAM, it's a CD player

  Hello people, I once again.

  My 2 week old Qosmio G30 - 175 has a DVD-RAM drive that now appears in my computer as a CD player. As a result (I think) it will not automatically DVD playback. I can play manually through the media library or WMP, but no option does appear in the properties of the drive for auto, DVD playback.

  Can someone tell me why this happened? It is used to appear as a DVD - RAM drive. The only thing I did was to install Nero Premium. Who would have something to do with it?

  Thank you very much.

• Qosmio F30 - 112 - DVD player can read and burn DVDs

  Hey everybody!

  Here's the problem: my DVD-ROM won't read some DVDs, it does not burn. In Nero when it start burning error pop up and the message is: Power calibration error

  I tried with all the testers for writer and reader of alerady and they all did not find any problem. They said that the recorder and player work properly. I even reinstalled twice end it always shows me this error and it will not burn or read some DVD Windows Vista (which I tried to read another computer and there is no problem). I tried to clean it with cleaning and nothing.

  I think that this problem started since I've updated the firmwire F103, but I do not know...

  Help please.

  Hello!

  Was the update of the firmware of your CD/DVD drive or have you another one? In my view, the drive could be faulty due to a bad firmware

  But before you exchange the drive, you should try to remove the upper and lower filters in the Windows registry:
  (1) start Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
  2) go 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.

  Good bye

• PPro CS4 - export of Sony XDCAM EX project 1080 p to still - black bars

  I tried to export a project with a timeline of 1080 p Sony XDCAM EX PPro CS4 via dynamic link to yet. Final result will be a DVD. After the (progressive) MPEG-2 hardware encoding I find myself with black bars (about 5 to 10 pixels wide) on both sides, left and right of the movie (at the same time when exporting via the Media Encoder it appear not all bars). Is still a conversion problems the proportions of material for the correct relationship of HD?

  

  Both use the same encoding engine, while they give the same results. But the small black bars are inevitable due to differences between HD and SD RATED.

• Satellite Pro A300D - cannot play movies on a Toshiba DVD player

  Hi guys,.

  When I play movies in Toshiba DVD player I get the following error message: "unable to output the video to an external device. Please check the external output setting after the end of the application. TEMPRO, I installed and tried to install all updates - some of them were for different hardware so wouldn't install.

  I get a similar problem in Windows Media Player "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card. VLC player works fine. The drive otherwise normally functioning.

  It's the same problem, as described in this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=201029&tstart=0, but all the answers are a similar problem with HD DVD on a different model (P200).

  Anyone know how I can fix this problem? I'm not sure I can be bothered to go back and reinstall Vista etc...

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  According to the Toshiba DVD Player error message: are you trying to watch DVDs on an external monitor or TV?
  In your case, I will try to reinstall the DVD playback software. This means delete the current version and then restart your computer. Then download and install the latest software from Toshiba DVD player.

  But to be honest: it's that everything works with VLC media player as it s very big and small media player that can play all audio and video files. Isn t it? ;)

• Windows DVD Maker will not play on the TV DVD player

  I have Windows Vista, and Windows Movie Maker to make a movie. I've published using Windows DVD Maker. I've made several copies and sent to various members of my family. While I was able to watch them when I tested them on my TV dvd player, none of my family members are able to watch their copies on their dvd players. In addition, when I insert the dvd in my computer's dvd player, it won't play either. How can I fix?

  Thank you. What I did just check "ffdshow" configuration and found that the codec for mp2 was disabled, so I let him. Now when I load the dvd into my computer it starts automatically.

  Now, my question is that I have to burn the new dvd for my family, so they can watch on their dvd player TV? Are their other codecs apart from that I have activated that must be adjusted so that DVDs can be found on other dvd players?

  ======================================
  You didn't say if you have a folder VIDEO_TS on the DVD...

  OK... you say you can play DVDs on your freestanding
  DVD player and on your computer. Startups that appears
  DVDs are fine and the problems of members of your family
  need to be cleared up on their end.

  One thing I would try would be to publish the project as a
  .wmv movie file in a folder on my hard drive. Then I'd
  the following freeware to create a video DVD. There are
  a small chance that it would work better for you.
