Satellite L300D - can't watch movies using a Toshiba DVD player

Hello

I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300D - 12L and the toshiba dvd player has stopped working.

The laptop is always able to recognize the dvd as the 'AutoPlay' box appears when a DVD is inserted and says ' DVD RW drive (e :)) "at the top of the follow-up to the title of the film.
I then click on 'play the DVD using a DVD TOSHIBE movie'... and nothing happens.

I tried several different DVD, which I know work in other laptops or DVD players.
I tried by following this link...

http://www.TechSpot.com/VB/topic27616.html

and deleted the lowerfilters and upperfilters but that cause problems and I had to perform a system restore.
I'm running out of ideas and I would like to be able to watch DVD on my laptop again because I don't have a TV or a DVD player.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello

It seems that the CD-DVD drive can read the disc, but it seems that the Toshiba DVD Player cannot play video files

Then maybe you should try to play the DVD using other software like Windows Media Player or VLC player download VLC player this small software and install it
Then try to play the movie

I recommend also to install the tool called DVD Player Update Check Tool that you find on the European driver Toshiba page.

With this tool, you can check your laptop, if your DVD player needs an upgrade and if so, it gives you the download link for version upgrade needed.

    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.

    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? ;)

  • Satellite L300 - can't watch TV using the connection cable cable with Win 7

    Hello

    I have a problem.
    I can't watch movies in my Satellite L300 to my cable TV.

    Hello

    I don't know how you connected the laptop to TV, but generally you may connect the TV to the laptop using an HDMI cable or an s-video cable.
    Of course, this is only possible if one of these ports is supported by the laptop.

    Then, you must use the FN + F5 key combination to switch to the external video output.

  • Screen keeps flashing using a Toshiba DVD player

    My DVD player plays DVD video but the screen still flashes, can anyone help please?

    You have an Intel graphics card?

    Well, if yes then I know what could be the problem.

    Primarily this question didn t appear initially. Am I wrong?

    The problem is that the automatic update of Vista installed has installed a new version of the graphics driver on your laptop. To my knowledge, this could affect the Toshiba DVD player.

    You must remove the installed graphics driver and should install one on the page of the Toshiba driver that is compatible with your laptop series.

  • Satellite M30X: Can't watch movies on external LCD screen via a cable VGA - black screen?

    Hello.

    I have toshiba laptop M30X satellite and I difficutlties about the link between the laptop and lcd tv 32 S 3000.

    1. first of all, I tried with the s-Video cable: I see what is on the screen of the computer laptop on the TV screen, but much worse than plugging in the VGA cable, in terms of sharpness and resolution. I did this by setting the LCD display in the menu windows.

    2. when I use the VGA cable, I don't see it on the TV screen, what is on the screen of the laptop.
    I might need to upgrade the drivers for the ATI radeon 9600/9700 series factory installed on the laptop?

    BUT the biggest problem arises when I want to see on lcd display media player file formats: mpeg, avi, etc.

    What's happening: on the screen of the laptop, I have the image of the film, and on the LCD TV screen I have BLACK SCREEN (even the media player toolbars are still visible)
    If anyone has an ideea, I appreciate it.

    Thank you for your time.

    > 2. When I use the VGA cable, I don't see it on the TV screen, what is on the screen of the laptop.
    > I might need to upgrade the drivers for the ATI radeon 9600/9700 series factory installed on the laptop?
    This has nothing to do with the display driver, but with the connection.
    The VGA port should be used to connect the external TFT and not the TV monitor
    But have you used the option of FN + F5 to switch between screens devices?

    > On the screen of the laptop, I have the image of the film, and on the LCD TV screen I have BLACK SCREEN (even the media player toolbars are still visible)
    To my knowledge, you must first switch the display on the external monitor and then you should start the film actor.

  • Satellite U300: Toshiba DVD player does not work properly

    Hello, yesterday I downloaded a new driver for Toshiba DVD player (only had the laptop a week or two).

    Now when I try to play a DVD it tells me "unable to output the video to an external device. Please change your display device by pressing the Fn + F5 keys after the end of the application"

    Now, I closed the dvd and then did as he said with the Fn + F5 keys, but this seems to get me nowhere. It appears the laptop and the lcd screen icons are highlighted.

    Any suggestions please?

    Hi mate,

    It seems that the pilot has some sort of problems. What you might try is to restore the system to a previous restore point.
    With luck, you could play your DVD´s again with the player from Toshiba, but I suggest you wait for the next update, maybe they will fix this problem.

    You can also use the "VideoLan" drive which is freeware and probably one of the best available players that can play almost all formats. If you want to try the drive, then just go here-> www.videolan.org/

    Otherwise, you can perform a restore, use the Toshiba DVD player and wait until toshiba released a new update that works...

  • Homegroup is very slow. Loading files from another computer is very long and I can't watch movies on the wireless using the homegroup.

    Group residential slow and other problems with it

    Hello!

    I have 3 Windows 7 PC-s (office #1, #2 desktop and laptop). I created HomeGroup and join all computers, so I can access the files on each of them. But my problem is the following: homegroup is very slow. Loading files from another computer is very long and I can't watch movies on the wireless using homegroup, because it is slow and every two seconds of loading film. And also needed a few minutes to open the pictures (more than 10 GB in all folders) to a folder in the other PC. Why is this work so slow? I don't think there is a problem with slow wireless router, because I can replace my old Linksys WRT54GL Linksys E4200, which is able to transfer video HD 3D such as Linksys provide. What should I do to fix this? Should I change all the settings in Windows, perhaps in the router...?
    And why my laptop is not always visible to the other PC to homegroup? He see two others and two other sees, but they are not portable. This happens sometimes. But then I still share with homegroup libraries to my laptop and there still other computers see it and all shared libraries. Where is the problem? I also try to change the HomeGroup services automatically, but this does not solve the problem.
    If I forgot something to write, or you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.
    I'd appreciate any help really.

    Hello

    Manually check manufacturers sites WiFi because pilots offered through
    Updates Windows will most often not be later (MS is far behind certifying)
    drivers and many manufacturers do not quickly submit newer versions or not at all). See
    Manual driver update of the methods below.

    The question could be WiFi in fact however try to device (hardware)
    update the driver first.

    What antivirus/security is used? Some of those who will cause problems with the
    Homegroup. Since it happens more often on a single computer that on there
    a check.

    From this link:

    Homegroup: frequently asked questions (also shows how delete and remove homegroup)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/HomeGroup-frequently-asked-questions

    "Only people who belong to the homegroup can see shared libraries. You can also share libraries or files and individual folders with specific people in your homegroup, rather than share them with everyone. For more information, see libraries with your homegroup sharing and keep files and folders to be shared with a specific residential group. »

    Share files with anyone
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/share-files-with-someone

    ==================

    How to upgrade manually the drivers:

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
    below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
    found)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
    (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as windows
    7 love the updated drivers.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite U305: can't watch video on the external monitor on Vista with Dynadock

    Hi mates,

    I have a Satellite U305 running Windows Vista, I also bought a VGA Dynadock with HP 20 "external monitor.

    I have uppdated all Dynadock readers (Audio, video, etc.) to the latest version, but DVD-video or MPEG video recorded with my camera is not possible to look at the monitor extended that in the main screen (laptop computer monitor).

    For example, my DVD Toshiba drive works normally on the laptop monitor but when I transfer window extended monitor, Toshiba DVD Player stops to work.
    Video does not work on the extended screen.

    Is this OK or I did something wrong configuration? Is this a bug? If this is a bug, how to fix this bug?

    I'm you worry because I plug a large external monitor to watch a few movies that I can't watch it.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Nilton

    I agree with the snipe of the user. The dynadock is simply not designed to transfer the enormous amount of data that accumulate to watch movies on DVD.
    The USB ports are simply not designed for this
