• Cannot play DVD movies on due to licensing issues.

  My friend built me a computer and installed a Dvd inside player.  Unfortunately, when I put in the DVD videos, I can't view because of licensing issues.  I know that most other DVD readers can read the videos without these problems.  I think that my dvd drive is an ATAPI iHAS120 6.  Help, please.

  This is the message I get when I try to play the DVD.  "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

  I think that these DVDs are protected by DRM, but they played on my sister's laptop.

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder.

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...

• My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

  My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

  I have a lightscribe, CD/DVD player, and I started having problems about a month ago... I tried to burn a lightsribe CD and my computer told me that I didn't have a CD Lightscribe drive (I!)... then when I just tried to burn the music on the CD, he didn't do it either... Finally a week ago, I tried to play a movie on my laptop, and that does not work either.

  When I insert in the film or the cd, the drive lights up and I can hear the work, but it is as if she has no connection with my laptop and my laptop is not picking up the CD/DVD drive try to play a movie or a cd.

  A friend suggested that I go to the HP website and am trying to download a driver, but I didn't know what to do once I got to this website, and I don't know if it will work.

  If you know how to solve this problem, or if you have had a similar problem with your computer, please help, thank you.

  I always watch DVDs with VLC media player. With this player, you can also listen to music and he can play many types of files.

  In addition, you should look on the Toshiba website for an update of the firmware. Maybe this could also solve the problem.

• Satellite C655 - DVD movies will not play

  I've had my laptop for 7 months and for the last 2 weeks, I tried to play the dvd netlix but they won't play. I put on an audio cd, and it works. I can't understand what the problem is nor the solution. I tried to update the driver but it says that it is up-to-date. Don't know what to do at this point. Any suggestions?

  Also, I ran the diagnostic tool for toshiba and he ignores the DVD player. Does this mean something?

  Have you noticed these problems with DVD Netlix e only or using any original DVD movie?

• TV recorded serious DVD movie out of sync when played. Syncs OK on PC.

  Windows 7, Media center, all current updates.

  Has had several tries to find the right combination of options to burn a movie recorded on DVD TV (Power options high performance/sleep off, DVD NTSC, video then play DVD menu options, 16:9), but finally managed to burn a DVD that will play.

  BUT

  Its not synchronized with video on DVD.  IS synchronized when played on pc, so nothing wrong with the tuner (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950 (Q).  New HP Pavilion Slimline. No 3rd party software installed, burning, although I plan to MediaCoder for some audio projects.

  High level of frustration. Open to suggestion.

  Thank you!

  Barbara,

  In my own experience, this happens usually when the pace or the video frame rate or fps are smaller on your output video or vice versa (when video images are "fallen" or "added" audio goes out of sync).  I solved this situation by setting the pace on the target, be identical to the source. Check out the cadence on your source (film tv rec) and use that rate for your DVD. I don't know how you can do it because I don't have experiences with DVDs. I did it with flv, mov, mp4 movies only.
  Be sure to mark my post as answer and/or useful. I am trying to build a good reputation in this forum.

  Hello

  8.1 Windows does not read the DVD.

  "" DVD for Windows 8.1 playback options."

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/DVD-playback-help

  "Windows and Windows Pro 8.1 8.1 do not come with DVD movie playback capability. If you are running Windows 8.1 or 8.1 Windows Pro, you can search for a DVD player application in the Windows store (learn more about the Windows store). »

  And Microsoft has stopped selling some Media Center for 8.1 which was a workaround solution.
