  Hello

  Can you please tell us what operating system you are using and what model of laptop.

  In any case, if your optical disc drive can read CD but not DVD, it is possible that the driver is defective or the lens is dirty.
  The first time, please clean the lens.

  If this will not help it is possible that ODD has problem with the calibration of the lens.

• I can't play DVDs in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Pro and get this error msg: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection.

  Hello, thanks for reading and helping me.

  I try to play a legitimate, belonging to DVD, but Windows Media Player 12 will not play on my computer Windows 7 Professional.  The DVD worked a few days ago, but all of a sudden, I get the following error message:

  "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 did a lot of research of these forums and on the ' net.  Here are the suggested steps I tried without success:

  • I tried VLC player.  This works.  However, rather than use this workaround, I wish to find a solution to my problem WMP/WMC.
  • I tried several DVD for years over the last decade.  These DVD works on my laptop, also running Windows 7 Professional and the shark 007 codec.
  • I uninstalled my Shark 007 codec
  • I tried other codecs (K-Lite)
  • I assured that the latest drivers are installed on my video card, XFX ATI Radeon 5850
  • I tried to uninstall Nero 9
  • I tried to use the Windows 7 troubleshooting options:
  • > Reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu - ray (no problem)
  • > Windows Media Player DVD (no problem)
  • > Windows Media Player Settings (detects a problem, wants to restore factory settings, every time, no matter what happens)
  • A system restore to a time when the DVD was working did not resolve the issue
  • The different links in Microsoft, I found in this forum about this problem do not seem to be useful.  There is a link that points to the set-top boxes, but this page just says: "Windows 7 comes with a decoder.
  • I assured the latest driver is available by going to "Device Manager", right click on the drive, then click on "update driver software".
  • I assured that the latest firmware is installed directly from the manufacturer's website.
  • I tried to reset my DRM by renaming the DRM under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows folder and by going to this Web site to upgrade:http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp?force=1
  • I've uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Media Player 12 and Windows Media Center via the function "functionality in Windows.

  I would be very grateful if a Microsoft technology could chime.  Thanks for your help!

• Unable to play DVDs on an Equium A100

  Hello

  My laptop will play some DVDs but does not play the other DVD. I get the following message appears when you try to play certain DVD: "Media Center cannot detect a video DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive."

  DVDs that can not be read seem to be more recent films, for example the Lord of the rings or Bourne Ultimatum rather than DVD of the films made in the 80s or 90s.

  I would be grateful for any help that could solve this frustrating situation.

  Thank you

  A burned disc appears as a blank disc in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

  Looks like it s not hardware but software more related question.
  As far as I know the CD/DVD drives don't support all types of CD and DVD.

  Maybe a few DVD movies are burnt on the media which are not entirely compatible with the internal CD/DVD drive
  To me, it seems plausible

• Samsung DVD - ROM SD - 616E driver will not play DVDs in Windows xp sp3 Home Edition

  Dear supporters, Im having problems playing movies on my Samsung DVD - ROM SD-616E installed on my Windows XP SP3 Home Edition Dell Dimension 2350..., a box of lil in the center of my watch windowsmedia player a message saying no compatible dvd decoder is not installed? Help, please? thanx.

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

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started
  may be your solution.

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

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

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins

  Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
  media players:

  VLC Media Player
  http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc/
  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Media Player Classic Home Cinema
  http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Or... you can try to download and install one of the
  Following codec packs.

  (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
  point before installing any software or updates).

  * Proceed at your own risk *.

  (1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

• WMP/WMC is unable to play DVD audio

  I had a problem for a lot of time with Windows Media Player/Windows Media Center PERSON DO seems able to diagnose or difficult. WMP all my audio files, CDs and the sound system plays very well. However, whenever I try to play a DVD, the video game played very well but there is no audio data. Then, I lose all the sounds until I restart. I downloaded a freeware program that allows me to see the video and hear the sound of DVDs very well as well as the material works very well. The problem is with WMP/WMC.  I tried to reload/upgrade to update WMP, but that did not work. I can be lack of Codecs, but I have no idea of who or how to download the forms.  The problem is probably with WMP/WMC, but no support, my manufacturer of computers or Microsoft seems to be able to solve the problem. I think I'll use VLC Media Player as my default DVD player.  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You need Codec - get these if 32 bit Vista.

  CCCP - free - also get free of insurgents tool
  http://CCCP-project.NET/

  FFDSHOW - free

  Check here:

  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

  ---------------------------------------

  VLC needs, of no use so usually Codec as a backup when asked to support associations of files just say no.

  VLC - free
  http://www.videolan.org/VLC/

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  If 64 bits and you need codec.

  Read this 1st and go that route, or use the one below.

  http://www.Vistax64.com/sound-audio/152850-Vista-codec-pack-32bit-64bit-Media-Player-codecs.html

  --------------------------------------------------------------------

  If 64-bit Vista - can run WMP in 32 or 64 bit mode.

  Or try these: download - SAVE - go to the place where your put them RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN.

  For 32-bit use them - OR those listed above that I prefer.
  
  K - Lite Codec Pack 5.0.5 & K-Lite Codec Pack 5.0.5 update
  http://www.codecguide.com/

  Use them for 64-bit:

  K - Lite Codec Pack (64-bit) 2.6.0
  http://www.codecguide.com/

  -------------------------------------------------------------
  You know that you use WMP 32 or 64

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  And you can use it when necessary because no codex is usually required.

• Video distortion when playing DVDs on Windows Media Player 12

  I have indserted a Comercial de DVD in my DVD player to play a movie on Windows Media Player 12.  When the video came out, it was thousands of multi-colored square blocks.  I tried receting on WMP options, in the case where I changed a setting trying to do something.  I checked in WMC as well and it does the same thing.  I checked several discs defferent.  I checked the updates.  I even ran several viruses, spyware and Root kit scanning with luck now.  I scanned my registry to find errors.  I'm out of ideas.  Can someone help me please?

  I discovered that a major alteration in the partition of OEM software was interfearing with the functioning of Windows 7.  So I reinstalled windows 7 delete all partitions on the disk.  This not only corrected this problem, but 98% of the other problems I had with Windows 7 and its components.  Although the internal DVD player has partially failed and did not read something more then a bootable disc (which I am happy that it works always in that my external DVD writer is not recognized as a drive bootable BACK), my external drive is now able to read everything properly in Windows 7 and I can now use any program including WMP to play all DVD discs or any other disc I need to read.

• Playing DVDs in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I use Windows Vista at the moment, but I want to install Windows 7 soon. The standart programms do stay? In particular, I need the program HP DVD play BD to watch Blue-Ray. How can I use this programm on Win7? Are there ways to save or retrieve the programm?

  ColdGhost,

  It looks like you can switch to Win 7.  After completing your upgrade to Windows 7, it would be always interesting to go to HP.COM and enter your model number in the search box to get the support and troubleshooting page for your product, and then select software downloads and the driver.  Look under Windows 7 32 or 64-bit (depending on the version of Windows 7, you're upgrading to), and then look under "Multimedia software" and you should find the update of the game DVD HP for Windows 7. Download and install that update and you should be able to view the Bluray disks in Windows 7.
