Reader SuperDrive plays movies, CDs, but ejects the DVD-R
I am trying to burn a DVD - a first in a long time. My circa 2010 Mac Pro with Superdrive is eject the DVD-R discs, but fortunately plays DVD movies and CDs. When you insert a DVD-R, the drive through 2 cycles of what seems to be the reading of the disc, then automatically opens the Superdrive drive door. No idea what this problem is?
Thank you.
Try a cleaning disc. different lasers are used for reading and writing CD and DVD, and so perhaps only a dirty laser lens.
Cold otherwise be hardware problem with the drive.
Have you tried a different brand of DVD?

Hello
I have a laptop of 17-e123cl Pavilion Touchsmart with installed PowerDVD12. If I play the videos from the drive VDV plays it very well, but if I copy the DVD to the hard drive and try to play there the image has a lot of large blocks and horizontal bars in the picture and the sound is messed up. Since the HARD drive is a 1 5400 to disc it should be even faster than the DVD player, but it looks like that is the question. Is there any other driver that I need to get things working correctly from the hard drive? When I travel, I can't bring DVD in some countries, but the movies on the hard drive are not a problem (normally). Same thing happens if copied to a flash drive. Any suggestions?
Thank you
Rick
Hello
Yes, this is the problem because they are two different file systems/structures. Normally you rip the DVD to a correct video file format and view on your computer. Please try:

Windows Media Center plays soundtrac film but not the video.
My Windows XP Media Center plays the soundtrac of movies but not the video.
The display shows the similar factals when music is played.
Latest WMC has been installed
Any ideas?
Hello
1. do you know the file type you are trying to play?
2. this happens with all DVDs you play?
3. do you get an error message?
Step 1: Try to update the codecs to check if the problem persists. See the below mentioned the Windows Help article.
Codecs: Frequently asked questions
Step 2: Check if you have the latest video drivers installed on the computer. You can log on to the computer for the same manufacturer site. Also, check the latest Windows updates. Check if all related drivers are available in the optional updates.
Step 3: Adjust graphics hardware acceleration. To do this, follow these steps:
a. open the screen resolution by clicking the Start button, Control Panel, and then, under appearance and personalization, click on adjust the screen resolution.
b. click on advanced settings.
c. click the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings.
d. move the hardware acceleration slider two notches to the left of Full (the Disable cursor and bitmap accelerations setting).
e. click OK, and then click Restart now.
I hope this helps!

Satellite L455 - Burned DVD plays in slow motion in the dvd player
Hello
I have a Satellite L455.
I got burned a DVD with Nero 7 premium, but when I play in the dvd player, it works idle all the time. Other movies are played normally (so the problem is not the dvd player phillips), this only happens with the ones I burned in my new Toshiba laptop.
I have tried to burn all kinds of speed (x 8, 6 and 3), but the problem has not been resolved.
Can someone tell what should I do?
Thank you.
Hello
You tested this external DVD drive?
I recommend to check the options of Nero again and maybe, you should also use an other DVDs from different manufacturers.My DVD player didn t play DVD's serious too, I changed the manufacturer of DVDs and then the DVD that can be read by a DVD player

For a long time my system CD/DVD in my laptop Del Estudio 1537 worked perfect. But all of a sudden my computer does not recognize or read or burn DVDs. Can you help me fix this problem?
Hello
You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
correctly.Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.
Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.
CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.Several good info here:

Remove the key only to eject the dvd, they will not delete
I have a Samsung 700 PC series laptop with a Matshita UJ8A7AS drive. I have informed keyboard option, it has Win7 home premium 64 bit. The DELETE key was 2 options, DELETE the key worked to remove items highlighted or selected. In the text, he would remove characters to the right of the Courvite. By pressing keys Fn and delete entire would eject the disc of the power optical drive slot. NOW it will only eject function, as if using the Fn + delete key combination. The Fn key does not stick. This works for all the other key combos. I have all the updates. I lived integrated help and support, convenience stores, several research and MS Knowledge Base online. I have not knowingly changed anything. Any suggestions?
This isn't something that Windows can help you to, the implementation of functions Fn on the abstract material level. Windows operating system doesn't 'see' this key (indeed this Fn button is not to dismiss the screensaver).
Most likely, there is some type of "Fn Lock" that has been activated. But you really want to contact Samsung directly to find out how to disable or to work with her. The controls/options so that it will apply only to Samsung and is not part of Windows.

play movie clip symbol at the end of the animation, but does not appear in the timeline
Work in Adobe Flash CS5
When I play my movie in the Flash file, the animation stops at the end of the timeline, as it should. But when I test the movie, or export it to any film format, it will play an instance of a movie clip symbol that I used in the animation. There is no extra frame in the timeline panel beyond which must be considered to be the last image. Y at - it a setting or something I forgot that could cause this instance of the symbol to play at the end of the animation, without air in the main timeline? This can be corrected?
your movieclip (or a parent) who plays on the main timeline or is loaded by your swf. If you load this movieclip (published as a swf file), you can be sure that your movieclip (or a parent) is the culprit.
Use the movie Explorer to find all instances of your movieclip using the library for this movieclip name. If that does not reveal the culprit, you have either made a mistake in your search or if you have a movieclip in doubles.
