I'm have a problem with a copy of a dvd disc. When I put the disc into my DVD player it reaads OK But when I put it into my computer my drive can not read or reconize thatg there is a disc in it. what can i do to play this dvd on my computer?
Check for firmware updates for your DVD player. Old and out of date firmware can not read newer media formats. This statement assumes that the disc in question is a backup and not an origional.
Thank you the info But i did have my firmware updated and still can't reconize the disc when place n the drive. System locks up!
does your drive read both +/- formats,if you dont know,check that out first,then check the disc if it works on your standalone,then it is most likely to be a compatibilty issue check with nero infotool(if you have it)on what formats it supports updating firmware will not neccesarily solve the problem,as you have found out did you burn the copy on the computer?or was that done somewhere else?
Itryed that On my laptop with dvd/cd rom copyer and my desk top dvd/ copyer. Both system locks up. I have XP on both computers. Some of the other copyed disc work on them but I just received these new disc. And they don't work on my computer I don't know how they where backed up but they work on Home DVD system but not on my compter. Still stuck!
Sadly, it sounds like the media is the source of your woes. Oddly, if seems to play in a stand alone and not on the PC DVD-ROM. What type of DVD's are there +R -R or DL +R? Make of Media?
