Satellite 2800-500 DVD doesn't play video DVD-ROM SD-R2002

My DVD doesn't play videos . CD rom works fine. but when I put DVD it makes a sound as if it would play , the drive's light would stay on but the DVD would not play. I live in Europe and the regional settings is at 2 which is ok.The DVDs play on another PC. I am running Windows ME. Any suggestions please? Is there anywhere to download the driver for Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R2002.
thanks all.
Tammy

Hi tammy,
did you installed a DVD Softwareplayer like WinDVD or something else?
If yes, which is it? Does it play DVDs in the past without problems?
Do you want to play original DVDs or backup copies?

DVD-RW for Satellite 2800-500: IDE1 error, drive not recognized

Installation of a DVDRW slim drive NEC ND6500 has caused an "IDE1 error" message on boot and the drive was not recognized.
Would the Toshiba SD-R6472 DVDRW drive be compatible with my Satellite 2800-500?
Does anyone know a way to make anyone of them work?

If you took some effort in reading this:
http://www.cdrinfo.com/Forum/tm.asp?m=84345&mpage=15??
you would have known already.
Well, you always have people who know better, and ofcourse there are always people who know better....
(euh, never mind, hihi)
Ok about the IDE error.
Vasdiak has an ide error-notification.
I didn't.
In my case it was not recognized with the ND6500 connected and the 2nd controller dissapeared in bios and OS.
Nevertheless was there the same solution for what appeared the same problem.
This (and reading lot's of info on the web) got me thinking.
In case of NEC equipment(and maybe other brands as well) basically you have to look for a real OEM drives, which are configured as Master/Slave
Bulk & Retail drives are most of the time deliverd as CLS (even though retailers/dealers say otherwise), and that's no good for Satellite Pro 4600 (and many other toshiba laptops).
Just to cut to the chase:
The GNR-version of the NEC-ND6500A will work in a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 (2100 & 6100 too, and I think many more will).
As for the Toshiba SD-R6472 DVDRW:
My guess is it's the same problem with the same solution:
1.Buy a Master/Slave configured drive OR
2.modify it yourself by:
2a.soldering pin45&47 together (like I did).
2b.flashing the proper firmware (which is not always available/hard to get), which will result in reversed ATA.
Problem is that the NEC, Toshiba and many others do NOT sell (real)OEM-parts to the end-users, even though many retailers believe they do.
But that's merely because of the lack of consensus on how to interpret the meaning of "OEM".
Fact is that many retailers sell bulk-parts as if there where OEM, but that's wrong !
In my particular case:
I bought a NEC-ND6500A which was OEM-specified on the website (dealer), and after informing with the dealer I bought the drive.
The NEC did not work and I,amongst a lot of other things -->, contacted NEC.
I mentioned the "OEM-story" and NEC explained.
They won't deliver GNR-version to the end user, but he also told me the reverse ATA trick and send the proper firmware via email.
Then again I decided not to use reverse-ATA-firmware because it cannot be undone, and there is less available firmware in reverse-ATA mode (no problem if you want to use official firmware only, by the way).
To make things more confusing:
GEN-version is specified as master, also by Nec, but the Toshiba does not cope with it well.
And so do a lot of other laptops that cannot recognize CSEL-drives (which it really is !!).
Kinds of errors one can get: IDE-error, unpredictable behaviour, no DMA possible, etc...
The GNR-version (or GEN-version with soldering trick or reverse ATA-firmware) IS however recognized as master (or slave) drive on the 2nd controller....
Enfin, if people here are really interested in solving their problem I think I really got them started here.
My advise: put some effort into it (by reading link above and search the web).
Good luck to y'all !

Firefox doesn't play video and audio, cann't download anything!

A very strange problem occurred a few days ago. I didn't pay attention on it at first ( I thought it was caused by my provider) but now I found that it's a real problem. Firefox doesn't play video or audio. For instance, it starts loading and that's all. The same is with playing music. In addition, I can't download any files and view a big image as quick as early.
What is more interesting sometimes Firefox just begins to work in ordinary way.

There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might also work.
If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

QuickTime Problem. Doesn't play video.avi.

I have updated the system up to the latest - Maverick. After that QuickTime Player doesn't play video.avi. I have tried restarting the app - worthless. Yet, it has been showing 'Converting' for 30 mins. Please, help!

Hello, thank you for your reply. I have several more questions if you don't mind.
1. Does it always take that long to convert a file (more than 30 mins)? It seems that it doesn't work. It stops at the beginning and than nothing changes.
2. Since when QuickTime needs convertation for avi? I thought this is a standart format.
3. How can I use QuickTime 7?
Here is what I see during 30 mins.
Thank you beforehand!

Safari doesn't play video

Just unpacked my new iMac, updated software and run the Safari. Safari doesn't play video (tutorials) on apple.com. Still, I can hear audio well.
Please help.

Hi Nels, I had the same problem, and I have discovered the solution, it´s fairly simple:
Go to: Safari / Preferences click on the tab extensions and there you will probably have extensions set to ON, you just have to turn extensions OFF (the alternative plugin (DivX) is causing this video error.
greets!

Photo Booth doesn't play videos anymore

Hi all
Today I realized that, on my iMac Core Duo, Photo Booth doesn't play videos it record ( I saw the thumbnails but screen remains black when I select one) while they can be played by any other player on the computer, and from iphoto and imovie as well if I export them, all after the Mountain Lion update.
The issue doesn't occur with my MacBook Pro i7, with approximately same software installed but I can't find a solution anyway.
Can you help me please? I'm a huge fan of Photo Booth
Thank you

Hello volkerfromessen and everyone else
now i have problems with the drag and drop background effect. i can't drop images there anymore. : / haven't found any thread on here talking about this issue.
i'm afraid such issues on photobooth will become more often with time. i'm kind of hopeless that apple will fix it soon.
i haven't had any problem with Lion. but Mountain Lion has been a pain in the ***!

Satellite 2800-500 hinges

Ok, here's an obscure one. I've owned my Satellite 2800-500 for around 4 years and am extremely happy with it. Recently however, the screen hinges became very stiff to the point where they have now cracked their aluminium mountings just below the screen (inside the case). The laptop is now in about 15,000 pieces (mostly screws!) to gain access to the two hinges and find out what's going on.
I think they're just gummed up (technical term..!) and have removed a couple of the split rings and lightly oiled inside to try and free them up again. However, I don't hold out much hope that this will prove to be a long-term solution, so would like to find replacement parts.
Can anyone recommend some kind of supplier for getting two replacement hinge mechanisms please? They're manufactured by a company called Reell, but they just referred me back to Toshiba support. I'm trying some avenues with third party parts suppliers, but there seem to be so many different hinge parts that it would be a massive stroke of luck to find a broken 2800 laptop to salvage them from.
Any help would be most appreciated - thanks!
Mike

Hello Mike,
these hinges can normally be ordered only by a Service Partner because it is a replacement repair part!
You can try to contact a Service Partner and ask if they can sell you such hinges!
You can find a list of ServicePartners at Support & Downloads on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

Streaming: H.264, Flash Lite 4 (Flash 10 compatibility for video), On2 VP6, Sorenson Spark
However I haven't had a problem playing anything , as long as the file is smaller than 2 Gig !

My video playback out...every video shakes/flashes/doesn't play right. What's wrong? I thought the hard drive was too full, but I just deleted 125gigs, rebooted and it still flashes and doesn't play videos. This is true for youtube, ads, foxnews videos...

Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
Is there an easier way?

Real Nokia 5610 doesn't play Video in QVGA at 30fp...

Hi all, I really disappoint that my Nokia 5610 doesn't play any resolution of video at 30fps, even i've tried whatever bitrate, whatever resolution (QVGA, QCIF, ...), whatever audio bitrate, it still can't play back smoothly with 30fps, onlt 15fps it supports. So why Nokia provide such imperfect information to us. My friend 5610 also can't playback 30fps, QVGA.

Umm, this is interesting...

The new nano doesn't play video anymore?

i'm confused? the first, second and third nano played video and had a camera....the new one doesn't

"Any other ideas?"
Yes, contact Apple. According to their own website...
http://www.apple.com/accessibility/itunes/hearing.html
"Captioned Movies on iPod
iPod models that support video — including iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th generation), and iPod touch — can also display captions when present in the content. Captions display in a high-contrast white-on-black font that’s easy to read."
The 6th generation Nano plays video. Plus the fact that the email their accessibility team has sent in response to my question...
"On your hearing page, closed captioning for videos refers to the newest nano, is this correct?" seems to confirm very clearly...
"Hi,
Thank you for the email. That information is correct, if the video content you have synced from iTunes contains closed caption information you can enable closed captioning. One thing to note, the new iPod Nano (6th Generation) will only sync music video content only.
Apple Accessibility"
Perhaps there is some special format to Apple Music videos that I am not aware of, but it seems as though changing the tag should allow it to sync. Perhaps it's an update away?

IPhone 4 doesn't play video

Ever since I updated to iOS 7 my phone has lag like I've never seen. All around the phone is slow now but it didn't bother me too much. What bothed me the most was that when my phone tries to play video from anywhere (YouTube, camera roll, email) it will play it in 1 or less fps as if I was just watching a slideshow. My brother has the same phone and same problem when he updated but I thought it was just his phone until I updated too.

it seems the router is working fine. My laptop and my brother's phone is also working fine. So, why me?
