Sound but no picture of a DVD on MacBook Pro

I recently inherited my daughter in the middle of the year 2009 MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite, 2.53 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M 256 MB (all original when new machine except of course to Yosemite).  2 days ago, I watched a DVD without problem, but today the same DVD has sound but no video (same problem with other DVDs.) I have not dropped the machine or added new programs. Any ideas?

What type of program you are using to open the DVD? DVD Player, iTunes, Quicktime, etc...

Have you restarted the computer since two days ago or tried a different DVD?

EDITED: Do you watch the DVD on your computer or are you connected to an external display / TV?

  • Stor.e TV + - playing .mkv files have sound but no picture

    I just transferred all my .mkv files on my store TV + but most of them have sound but no picture? They play fine on my PC...

    Also, in any case to change the icon of the folder on the actual dvd cover on the store TV +? Sick to see the yellow folders!

    Thank you...

    Hello
    Find the StorE TV + specifications on this page from Toshiba:
    http://www.Toshiba-multimedia.com/EU/store-external-hard-drives/TV-plus/

    The Store TV + supports video formats: MPEG1 (DAT, MPG), MPEG2 (VOB, MPG, TS/M2TS/TP TRP), MPEG4 (AVI, MP4, MKV), VC-1 (WMV), H.264 (AVI, MKV, MOV, MP4), RM/RMVB (RM/RMVB)

    MKV files are supported by the MPEG4 and H.264 video format.
    Files are saved in these formats?
    How about you play other i.e. MPG or AVI files?

    In addition, I would recommend checking the connection to the TV.
    Here is a user manual that I found on the page of Toshiba:
    http://www.Toshiba-multimedia.com/global/manuals/store/manuals/STORE_TVplus_User_Manual.PDF

    It shows you how to connect the Store TV + correctly.

  • VOB has sound but no picture (gulp!)

    Hello

    I've transferred a video tape on a DVD, and he met with five. VOB files.

    I can load the last four in first Adobe Elements 7, but the first produces the message "this file type is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.  It's strange as the other four works very well.  I have truied by renaming the file a .mpg file and the same message occurs.  When I play the file in Windows media player, he plays with sound but no picture.

    Can someone shed light on this please?

    If your Handycam from Sony has transmission capabilities, this would be my first choice. You will have the remote control, like your VHS player will be connected via composite or S-Video cables and Audio, but with a bit of work with your remote control and your mouse, one in each hand, you can get very close. Just to start the Capture a moment earlier and cut then the video blank at the head of the clamp.

    Good luck and you check Sony manual for exact setting you need to pass through.

  • Possible work around sound but no picture...

    It is NOT a question but a possible work around. Youtube videos have sound but no picture. In this case, you can click on the small arrow to the right, near the right side of the address bar. This reloads the page and the problem seems to be fixed. You must do this for each video with sound but no picture. Should not, but it's a work around.

    I downloaded a program to watch on my Media Player and when I press on play I have sound but no picture, only models. How can I get the picture?

    What is the format of the video file?

    If the extension is. AVI... no guarantee... but maybe
    you need the XviD Codec.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

  • When you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the photo in Windows Media Player.

    * Original title: Windows Media PLayer

    I have Windows Media Player version 12 installed but when you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the picture.  Please see image attached.

    Even if I see that I can change the version of the file in a different format, I have the same problem with videos on websites that I can not of course change the format before playing these.

    I managed to fix the problem for about 20 minutes by flattening my computer re - install the operating system and this resolved until all updates have been through, and then it disappeared again.  I tried many codecs packs and this still does not help.

    My system is running Windows 7 and Media Player version is 12.0.7601.18840, which tells me that Media Player is the most recent version.

    Please can someone help?

    Open uninstall a program in windows and in the left click on the feature to turn on or off windows. Clear the check box of the window Media Player, and then click ok. This will uninstall the drive, and then restart.

    After restarting the same steps, now, check the box for the same and perform a restart and if all goes well it should solve the problem.

    Note: Make sure that Windows is up-to-date.

  • Something on the medium windows player give me sound but no picture? __

    So I want to burn a movie, but when I try to play on the media player it will give me sounds still no picture. It will however give me weird lines that change color. If I burn this movie I will have an image as the film or a black screen? I really don't want to lose a drive to know if I'm wrong. If so, what can I do to make this work? I don't know how to use a converter or anything, so if I need one of these I will certainly need help. But what do I do?

    Hello TenaciousTay,

    Check the automatic FixIT for CD/DVD players. It can correct most of burns and CD issues.

  • Sound but no picture with a key of dvb hybrid usb (PX1256E-1TVH)

    Hello
    I am usind this usb key in windows 2000 on a laptop from another manufacturer (that is to say PIVm 1.8 Ghz, 512 MB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 with 32 MB of memory dedicated)
    With Savvy TV 2.2.2

    I use it with a normal antenna (used for my usual TV) and have a clear sound, but a white screen as image :-(and I don't mean to a radio (as the FAQ imagine (!)). I use the analog TV (DVB)
    DirectX 9 .0c is intalled
    PS: The USB works, but with a poor image, with another pc (laptop) and an antenna that is smaller (because I don't have access to the antenna in this room)
    Any idea?

    Kind regards

  • HP Pav TS AIO: The video have sound but the picture is black or green

    When you try to view videos FB, I can hear the sound but can't see a black or green screen.  I have usually no trouble watching youtube videos.  I called HP about this issue a couple of months, but the fix was temporary, and I don't really remember what they were doing.  I am not very computer, in order to obtain a detailed help is very appreciated.  I called HP again today, but has not had time to be waiting for an hour, so I hung up.  I know that I might have to call back them at some point, but thought I would try this before you do.  Thanks a lot for all the help in advance...

    Jeni4, welcome to the forum.

    The first thing I would try is updated Adobe Flash Player.  An outdated version can cause these symptoms.  If this does not work, I suggest to contact Facebook customer service for assistance.  I don't think it's a hardware problem.  They know best their program and should be able to help.

    Please click on the Thumbs up button '+' if I helped you and click on "Accept as Solution" If your problem is resolved.
