Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-M1612 cannot read a burned disc

Hello

I have a problem. I wonder if anyone can help please.
I tried to view a DVD-R on my pc using my dvd player which is a Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-M1612, but it keeps giving me the same error message:
Windows cannot read from the disk, it is may be corrupted or in a format that windows recognizes.

The disc was burned on another computer and plays very well on this and on a normal dvd player, so I excluded that the disc is damaged.
After talking to some people, they suggested me update called firmware?
I looked at this and can't find it anywhere on Toshibas support or downloads pages feel like looking for a needle in a haystack :)

I have provided this figure as it apparently is the firmware that is currently installed on the pc.
I wonder if anyone knows where I can get the current version and if it will help me perhaps discovered the burned DVD-R.
TOSHIBA_DVD-ROM_SD M1612___1806___\5&C21666E&0&0.0.0

Thank you for your time and help

Hello

Sometimes this happens to me also, and to be honest it's nothing unusual.
All CD or DVD is supported by the CD/DVD drive.
I put t know what laptop you have, but in most cases the user's Guide provides information and details on the mids compatible and taken in charge.

I ve experience with TDK CD and DVDs and I convinced Mr. I ve tired different CDs and DVDs from various manufacturers and all were not entirely compatible.

The update of the firmware is not always a solution, but it is sometimes useful to improve compatibility. The update of the firmware can be downloaded from the Assembly of the computer.
It seems that Toshiba provides updates of the firmware for the series of notebook clean on the European driver Toshiba page.

To cut a long story short, try a few different CD or DVD from different manufacturers and check what support is no longer supported.

Good bye

I was doing a holiday film that is too big to go on a 4.7 GB dvd + r disc (which I have done before) so I thought that I had nothing better to do that to buy a larger drive so I bought a pack of 10 dvd + r dl discs. The drive does not recognize them and I don't know if it's because they are double-layer.

    Hello Fred

    Why are you so sure that the drive is not faulty? If the player is old, it is possible that there is problem with the calibration of laser for DVD playback. I presume you n t have problem with CD with original DVD movies. Am I wrong?

  • SlimType DVD A DS8A5SH - could not read Blu - ray discs

    Hello community...

    My machine is ASUS A43S laptop and the drive Slimtype DVD A DS8A5SH CD Rom...

    Well, I tried to play the "Blu - ray movies" and I get on the Properties tab... Unknown disc...

    NOTE: DVD movies will play fine...

    So, I tried a few things...

    (1) installed the VLC Blu - ray playback (of course) software

    NOTE: VLC player works great for DVD movies, but won't play Blu - ray...

    (2) I tried to update driver... but the driver is updated... Of course, I look on the internet and my drive is the best. Microsoft 6.1.7601.17514 release date: 21/06/2006

    And nothing I did make my CD ROM drive play Bul - ray...

    Community suggestions...?

    I am inclined to believe that the Slimtype DVD A DS8A5SH just isn't a Blu - ray player...

    Thank you

    Hello Russell,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I appreciate your patience.

    It is regrettable that the CD/DVD drive cannot read Blu - ray discs.

    However, please do not hesitate to answer, if you have other problems with Windows.

    Thank you

  • Sam L20-183: Pioneer DVD - RW DVR-K16S cannot read DVD

    Hi all!

    I have the Satellite L20-183 with Pioneer DVD - RW DVR-K16S player. This is a new computer, I bought it a week ago. The problem is very strange, after several days of use of the laptop drive does not read or write DVD! The process of reading or writing with the CD is excellent. Who is wrong? I didn't change the firmware or something like that. I don't really know what to do. I can't reinstall the system since the Toshiba Recovery dics's on DVD and it won't start...

    Help, please

    Hi Artur

    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot your device. After restarting the OS should reinstall the drive. Then try to play the DVD.
    Well, I also read a few topics in the forum a similar car problems and it seems that you are driving can has a calibration problem. In this case, you should replace the disk. I think that it isn't a reason to be angry. Your device is under warranty and all replacements must be done for free.

  • Satellite Pro A10: DVD rom sd c2612 stopped reading discs completely

    OK, I have a Satellite Pro A10, recently it is just stopped reading discs completely! Ive got no idea what wrong with and do not know if you need to replace? I prefer not too.

    If anyone has any advice on repairing it I would appreciate it. If not if anyone knows if there any compatible DVD readers writing? also the best place to buy?

    Help, please!

    Hello

    This does not sound well :( I think it could be a hardware problem maybe something wrong with the lens of the drive
    Anyway, usually it of not possible to fix these issues or it s not worth repairing, because the costs are too high
    Thus, it seems that you need to replace. But be careful. Not all readers are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings.
    I would recommend so contact the ASP in your country to get a compatible drive.

    But please try this proposal;
    Sometimes, the Player cannot read the Middle due to the incorrect registry key.
    Remove the upper and lower filter filter in this key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    and restart the laptop. Maybe it helps

    Good luck

  • My cd/dvd rom drive is not read anything and not even recognize a disc. Also video applets which would typically run online is no longer running. What I'm doing!

    Computer says no disc inserted in the drive.

    Hello

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
