psp movies

Hi Can anyone help please? I have converted dvds to play on psp and these have worked by transferring them onto psp memorystick. They now play with quicktime on main pc and on the psp itself. I have now tried to play same files from dvd on my laptop but it wont recognise the disc? I am running Win XP and the laptop is a Tosh Sat wioth matshita ujda740 dvd cd\rw. Can anyone tell me why? Thanks

 

Download the latest codecs for your lappy,

 

Thanks I have tried that but it still hasnt helped. Any more ideas?

 

you mean it wont recognize the dvd or it wont recognize the mp4

 

I put the dvd in, which has all of the converted PSP files on, and the laptop wont even open it. It reads it for ages but I cant get it to load. As I said it works perfectly on desktop.

 

wow now i kno what you are talking about. my laptop does the same thing with one of my dvds.. it always takes so long to get into the folders and such.. it will take like 5 min to get into a folder and then it says that there is nothing in the folder, it is actually very frustrating. It is the dvd that has all my snes/nes/gen roms and my backups.. i don't kno what to tell you, what i had to do was transfer the files to my psp and then to my desktop..
what format is your dvd? the one that i have thats giving me problems is CDFS. Is yours as well? If so, maybe notebooks have a problem with that file system

 

I am not sure - the files are psp converted mpeg4 and it is on a dvd-r disc. Does that make sense?!?

 

Thats not what I am asking, I am asking what is the file system on the dvd lol. Like the file system on the psp is FAT, what is the file system on your dvd.

 

Examples of disk file systems include FAT, NTFS, HFS, ext2, ISO 9660, ODS-5, and UDF do u know which ones yours?

 

Sorry for being such a dimwit but where would I find dvd sys info? Yes I know, Im not a techie!!

 

The handyest way is to open DISK DEFRAGMENTER and it says it under FILE SYSTEM more than likely its NTFS

 

Yes, it is NTFS but I thought it was the DVD system that was required?

 

Go to CONTROL PANEL/SYSTEM/DEVICE MANAGER should find it there

 

Nope, there is nothing in system devices which describes dvd file system - what next?

 

sudds i was asking about the disk format of the dvd itsself not his hdd.. and put the dvd in and you click properties.. and it should tell you the file system of the dvd itself...
i have xp once i am in the root folder of the dvd it tells me what kind of file system it has.. unfortunatly like you most of the time i cant go deeper than the root folder with success

 

Emm...dunno mate am not a techie meself, just do what one of the other guys said, put them on ur PSP and upload them to ur laptop.

 

It is very difficult to get it to read anything off the disc but usin AnyDVD I have managed to get the following: Region2, Mda Data DVD, Booktype DVD-r (vers 5) Layers 1. That is as far as it goes and then the disc never loads. Any help?

 

Dude you have completely lost me.
Put the disk in, go to my computer, what ever drive you put the cd in right click it, and go to properties.
Now my next question is, you said you have them on this dvd to put on your memory stick... are they in mp4 format?..
and if they are in a format that your notebook doesn't recognize then it may not be the dvd itself, and all you would have to do is get a codec.

 

As I have said before, when I put the disk into thelaptop it wont read - I cant access properties at all - all I get is the little egg timer, unless I remove the dvd, and then I can enter it. Incidentally, I have updated codecs and this hasnt made any difference either. I would say that the DVD works perfectly in other pc.

 

I have just found out that dvd system in "unknown". As for type of file, they are MPEG4s but the spec of the DVD\cdrw states that it supports these. Any ideas?
