• Windows Media Player does not play my DVD from my video camera mini

  I have a Hitachi DVD cam that uses the mini DVD. My ex wants now the DVD cam so I'll try to read/copy DVDs.  Unfortunately my Media Player does not recognize that there is nothing on the disk but there is that I can look on the device itself.  Any ideas please?  I can't even watch it on my DVD player!

  Thank you very much

• For HP2000 2b19wm DVD player does not play smoothly

  I have a 2000 2-month old laptop 2b19wm, it was bought mainly for my husband to watch DVDs while he is on the road.  It does not play smoothly the DVD, audio and video are not synchronized correctly.  I tried to play new DVDs that have never been played on any system, so they are certainly not dirty.  The reader is not bad either.  It is definitely a hardware problem or a driver.  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Could be something to do with the playback software. What software do you use (or your husband)? Please try the following software:

• Windows DVD Maker-slideshow does not play audio

  Burner Windows DVD and music files

  I'm trying to burn a DVD with slides of image and audio (.mp3 music files).  Slides in image work, but I can't get the audio to work.  To set up the DVD, I chose the audio file and in the process he said, but the music does not play when I put the DVD in the DVD drive.  All I see are the image slides with no music.

  ===================================
  There could be a problem of compatibility with MP3 files.

  It may be worth trying to convert your MP3 file in the
  Format WMA before you import into Movie Maker.

  There are to many free converters available on the net...
  download from Koyotesoft is an example:

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

  Koyotesoft "Free MP3 WMA Converter".
  http://www.koyotesoft.com/indexEn.html
  (FWIW if you install the converter, you can
  Uncheck offerings from Yahoo and Dealio) (also... you
  may want to uncheck the CD Ripper and the Easy
  MP3 Cutter)

  After installing the program... open and drag and drop
  your file MP3/s on the main screen...

  Choose a backup folder (path of output). Or just leave...
  "Save to the directory the file" checked and the new
  files will be saved in the folder with the current files.

  Choose a format...   WMA

  Left, click Convert.

• my window media does not play wen I insert the dvd disc it say that a compatiable device is not install please tell me what I need to do thanks.

  Hello my pblem is that my Windows media player does not play wen I insert my dvd disc it say that a compatiable device is not installed please help me thanks in advance

  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

  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

• With audio slideshow created in PSE 9 plays well in edit.  When brought to burn items from the Prime Minister for the dvd, the audio does not play.  He appears in the edition, but no sound is played.  It happens regularly.  What setting could be wrong?

  With audio slideshow created in PSE 9 plays well in edit.  When brought to burn items from the Prime Minister for the dvd, the audio does not play.  He appears in the edition, but no sound is played.  It happens regularly.  What setting could be wrong?

  Thank you very much!   At your suggestion, I've selected out, burn to disc, DVD.  A window shows requiring Save have *.wmv.  OK, reluctantly saves.  Automatically opens first.  Preview has no audio.

  Instead of burning to disc, I chose Edit in first.  The preview has the video and audio.  Engraving option asked under wmv.  BUT by selecting the tab burn, then disc, dvd, part took place smoothly and dvd resulting contains actually the audio and the video.  Yes!

  She should not be incompatible and hard, but I could never have succeeded without help.

  Thanks again.
