  Having too many CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they're loading of parts of
  themselves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean that this issue has been
  caused by those, however, it's a possibility depending on which and how many you have installed.

  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.

• Can't open my dvd tray &amp; DVD will no longer play

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6810 laptop.  Recently, I tried to play a dvd, but the computer does not recognize that there is a dvd inserted.  I must start by saying that a few days before I tried to access a data cd, but was unable to do so.  In any case, when I then tried to use the dvd player, it does not recognize that there is a dvd in the machine.  Now, unfortunately, I can't not to open the dvd drawer.  It is stuck and nothing I've tried will open.  I tried opening outdoors also although inwardly by clicking "Eject" Quick Play.  I've even tried doing lever, but he is really stuck on one end.

  I don't want to have to take the machine to a repair shop.  They're going to have it forever and I need for my work every day.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi, looks like you have a defective optical drive.

  To remove media insert a paper clip in the access of the output in the control panel front of the optical drive and gently push on the paper clip until the tray is released.

• CD will no longer play in a cd player.

  Recently, I've burned audio CDs in WMP and they play in the computer, in my two dvd players connected to TV and my car stereo but won't play in my two stereo cd players.  In fact, a few but they take a lot of time to "load".  Others never load nor a message 'no disc '.  If I try a cd burned months ago, they play as they always did without problem or delay in "loading".  Obviously, the music is ON the cd, but something is at the origin of these 2 players for not being able to read or load it.  I tried different cd Mfg., but which was never a problem before.  It makes little difference.  The worst was a Memorex color cd batch all gave a message 'no disc '.  On a few of the blanks Magnavox (which ALWAYS worked very well), they will BE finally "load", but it takes a lot of time.  Most will not.  Yet once, I tried previously burned to the cd in the cd player 2 and they work fine.  What I NOW burn, is a problem, but ONLY on 2 stereo drives cd and only with CDs burned in the last month or two.  I ran the free program offered by Microsoft to correct WM, etc, but nothing has changed.    I did a little at different speeds without success.  Basically, I've been ripping / burning using Windows Audio at different speeds a few with no perceptible change in the results.  Later I received from an expert internet the burner to computer was bad.  It is relatively new and has worked very well until very recently.

  Q: could it have something to do with the cd been closed properly?  The cd play in my car, my computer and my dvd player if it has not been closed correctly?  During the burning process, he says it closes.

  Q: codec have something to do with the playback of the cd?  Could they have changed during a windows update do the cd players obsolete readers?

  Ed.

• old videos will no longer play / audio codec missing

  Some old videos that I no longer will play.  It says I'm missing an Audio Sharp G.726 audio codec (45). I tried to download the components, but I do not know if it is applied to Windows Media Player.

  Yes, I had already tried and that has done nothing, so I went to http://www.free-codecs.com/sharp_g726_audio_codec_download.htm , a site that had the missing codec and installed it.  It took three tries and I had to uninstall and reistall of other codec packages I tried, then restarted after making my slow super computer and reinstall just the single missing codec and finally it worked.

• Audiobooks from Netlibrary will no longer play

  In the past, I managed to download and play 2 audio books from the media center of Netlibrary my clip. Yesterday, I tried to download another book, and he won't play at all. When I select my music and press Play, it scrolls all chapter numbers, but it will not stop on a whole chapter and play anything. I deleted the audio book and downloaded another. I had exactly the same result.

  What is happening with my clip all of a sudden? This problem can be corrected?

  Thank you!

  In fact, I thought that my problem. I was trying to listen to mp3 instead of WMA files files. When I transferred a book in the WMA format, it works beautifully.

• music past PC from XP to Vista PC and more will no longer play in the drive media or import into itunes

  I transferred a large amount of music from my work (XP Dell) computer to my home laptop (Dell Vista) via an external hard drive.  About 3/4 of the music now will not import into itunes (nothing happens at all when I try to add or drag the files on), and Windows media player will not play them.  He complains about the codex or file extension.  I is not the exact message at the moment but you can get it later.
  The songs will play in another free player I downloaded (I don't remember who it was but can find out (I'm not on my laptop now)).
  I've had this problem for a year or two and thinking of upgrading to Windows 7 just if I can access my music again, but don't know if it will even work and prefer not spend this money if there is a solution under Vista.
  The files are a mixture of types, some were given to me and others that I transferred via CD myself.  I have all the original CD or files. Each of them has played without problems on the XP PC.  When I got this problem, I sent one of the files from my Vista computer on an XP machine and it played smoothly on this point, so it seems not that files have been corrupted.  It seems to be a Vista problem that also affects good windows media player and itunes.  I want to be able to get the songs in itunes, so I can listen to on my Ipod.
  Any help gratefully received.

• Windows Media Player will no longer play downloaded visualizations

  Recently, I had a problem range from simple annoyance to frustrating. The visualizations that I bought two (IE GE Force Aeon of spectrum) and those downloaded from Micorsoft (Album Art 3D, bubbles) will not play. It was a gradual progression, first I would like to restart and the problem seems to be resolved. Then my X 86 would not work, but would be my Media Player for 64-bit. Now they don't work at all. However, I can still see them. DLL in the list and my Alchemy, Bars and waves and the batteries still work fine (coincidentally, those working in Windows Media Center, who has never played the downloaded content - at least not on Windows 7-64 bit). I am running Windows 7 Ulitmate, service pack 1(64bit) with a card ATI 5850 vid and a Phenom II x 4 965 processor.

  Hi michardav,

• DVD player will not read is no longer drives

  Recently, I went for 2 weeks - when I left my computer was working and my dvd drive could read all my disks (mainly games)

  My return however (and after the installation of 18 updates last night) the bed DVD player is no longer just about any type of media disc (having already be able to read all). However, whenever I needed it for work, he did, I noticed that before I left my DVD player had played a bit and seems to be trying to read discs (making the noise of rotation).

• Media Player or Media Center will not recognize DVDs, but will play CD

  I've had my laptop for about a year now. The media play would play a DVD without problem. Up to what a month ago I noticed that it would take more time and more time for the Media Player play a DVD. I can't have the media to listen to anything except a CD. I noticed a rattling when I inserted the DVD. Now he not only recognise a DVD, but when I insert a DVD, nothing will happen. I tried uninstalling the driver rest nothing is that nothing happens. Do I have to replace the whole player. In Media Center, it lists a DVD as being stored in the library, I the HELP JUST DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE DEVIL IS VA ON?

• 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.
