• Vista will not read the disc, MPEG-2

  Hello. I recorded a few tv programs with my dvd burner, and it always does to the MPEG-2 format. But when I pop the disk in my laptop, windows does not detect the file, it detects the drive but please nothing to her which means that it wont let me convert. In fact, I want to convert the file into an mp4 so I can put the things that I recorded on my ipod when I go on vacation. Do I need some kind of code that allows windows to read the files on the disk? see you soon

  Hello

  You can not read these files is because you have not a compatible MPEG-2 decoder (also called a DVD decoder) is installed on your computer. You will need
  to download the codec or you can upgrade the existing DVD decoder Codec.

  Refer to this article:

  Supported decoders MPEG - 2 software DVD in Windows Media Player for Windows XP and Windows Vista
  http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/306331

  To ensure that the player can try to download codecs automatically, you must maintain Internet access while playing the file and your Internet security should be set to
  Middle. In addition, you must be logged in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group. Now, follow these steps in Windows Media Player:
  a. click the arrow below the now playing tab, and then click More Options.
  b. on the Player tab, select download them codecs automatically check box.

  You can even try to download codecs manually. Search using your search engine preferred for more information.

• DVD and CDROM will not read the disc

  I recently reinstalled Vista on my PC. In the process, I put a lot of files on a DVD rom for backup. My PC is now updated and everything works fine. However, I put he disc in the drive, it will attempt to read, but no files appear on the disc. However, when I click on "computer", then "E: / (DVD rom player)" it shows who have 4 + GB of information stored on disk. How can I get these files to appear and become available?

  Hi dharmapaws,

  This can sometimes happen if an audio device is disabled or if windows media player is already running in the background when the disc is inserted, then you can check this.

  You can also check if you are able to recover the files on another computer. If so, see if you can extract them and burn a new copy.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Windows could not read the disc you have inserted in the cd/dvd drive

  Suddenly my cd/dvd drive does not recognize the blank disc, and the format in the right click menu does not appear.

  What is a driver problem or what I don't know, pls help.

  Kind regards.

  Hi J,.

  It seems that the drive has failed.

  The device uses separate CD and DVD optical lasers.

  It seems that the DVD laser has failed.

  Try the drive on another computer if it is a desktop computer.

• My Satellite P100 will not read the SD/Media card after reinstalling XP - SP3

  I have a P100 and the model number is PSPA0U-1W0012 (this is what is printed at the bottom, it is a measure).

  I just installed Windows XP with Service Pack 3 on it because it was full of junk. I used the original recovery CD to install the drivers and installed the SD card reader driver, but it does not yet recognize the cards I used generally (xD and SD). To install XP, I used one CD other than the one supplied with the computer (I didn't want to not all of these free software that come with the recovery CD)

  I tried to look on the Toshiba online support, but I have found no information on the issue.

  Please advice, thank you.

  Hello

  First of all, you must make sure that your card reader driver has been properly installed and that the card reader works without problem and it appears in Device Manager.
  Second, you must make sure that the inserted cards are compatible and supported.
  I think that the details could be found in the user manual.

  By the way; I advise to always use the recovery disk because the operating system and drivers are always configured and everything should work fine.
  If you don't need some installed applications then you could easily remove it from the system. You can also use a free tool like CCLeaer to clean the registry after that some programs have been uninstalled.

• Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s will not read the cd rom cd-rom dvd

  OK, I read the other posts on these discs. Mine will play DVD movies and play them. It will not read the dvd ROM CD CD-ROM etc.
  This cannot be a hardware problem, it must be the software should not it?
  Can anyone help?
  Does anyone have information on how to remove these disks of the computer? Im sure I can install a new one myself if I really need to.
  Unfortunately the computer is just out of warranty

  Hi Robert,.

  Unfortunately, your problem sounds like a problem with the hardware with the optical drive. The player itself must be able to refocus its lenses to switch between DVD and CD formats, and also to pass the pressed DVD and DVD burned.

  I suggest you tyre remove the device from the Device Manager Control Panel, then restart your laptop so that the optical drive will be recognized as a new component hardware and Windows will then be re - install with standard drivers etc. If this does not work then it looks like a new drive will be necessary.

  Unfortunately you say not what model of laptop you have (the removal procedure is not the same in all cases), but in general if the car is equipped with in-house it is held in place with one or two screws accessible from the bottom of the laptop that should be removed first, then the optical drive can be slid out of its location.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A40-231: SD-R6112 will not read the DVDs I burned

  I finally got my DVD burner to work, but now the drive will not read the DVDs I burned, which, of course, defies the point of having a dvd burner in the first place... When I insert my dvd recently burned, "working" light lights and stays on. Same thing happens no matter how many times I take it out and put plug back in, restart my computer, etc... any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  @Magnus:
  Sometimes, CDs and burned DVD cannot be read with no closing sessions of engraving. You should check this option.
  In addition, this burning program did you use?
  I use Nero. Form is the program better combustion and I never had a problem.
  What you need to do is to test several DVDs. not all media work on the disc.
