A problem with the DVD player

Hello
I live in Kuwait, and I order a lot of movies from the United states by amazon.com, movie regions differ from USA and Kuwait, so the DVD player must change the drive's region, the problem is that I'm out of times because it's limited. Why is it limited and what can I do to solve this problem, even if I had to use other programs. Thanks.

VLC might work. It doesn't care about region codes.
For other possible options, you might try here.

  • HT2801 Has anyone else had problems with the dvd player in pre unibody macbook pros?

    My 2007 macbook pro has a skrewed up dvd drive.  It doesn't seem to matter if the dvd is brand new or badly scratched: iDVD takes several minutes to pop up and several more to recognise that there is a disc present and several more to start reading it.  Half the time the drive just spins the dvd around really fast and makes a lot of noise and gets the fans maxed out and then stalls and eventually decides to give up.  After giving up on playing the disc it usually has a hard time deciding whether or not to eject the disc!  I don't know if its just burnt out and needing replacing or if there is an inherent flaw in the manufacture/design of the drive.  Either way it really irritating. 

    SuperDrives wear out - it seems that yours might be on the verge of a mechanical failure. I'd just replace it, buying a new drive from Other World Computing and installing it yourself (because Apple would charge a small fortune).

    I have a problem with the CD player plays some species, others give me this letter no longer supported PowerPC

    Educational software suffers from having been written many years ago, but the financial market is not such to give the publisher much incentive to update the software.
    The problem for you is that Top Notch 2 with ActiveBook was written and released by Pearson back when Macs utilized the PowerPC CPU platform.  In 2006, Apple migrated the Macs to Intel CPUs, but released their Operating Systems with an invisible translation program, Rosetta, so that the user could continue to use their existing library of PowerPC applications and take time to update them as needed.
    The problem arises in that Apple no longer continues to update Rosetta for inclusion in Lion and now Mountain Lion, so that your CD-ROM cannot be executed on your Lion Mac.
    Since Pearson looks unlikely to rewrite and release an Intel version of Top Notch 2, you must find a workaround that will play your CD-ROM and allow you to continue utilizing your ActiveBook.
    You do not indicate which model of Mac you are using.  If you upgraded it to Lion from Snow Leopard, you have these workarounds:
    1.  Revert to Snow Leopard
    2.  Partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it.  This will allow you to "dual-boot" into Snow Leopard when you need access to run Top Notch 2.  You would then have to "dual-boot" back into Lion when you needed access to those features required by Lion.
    If you purchased a new Mac that came with Lion, you only have one workaround available to run Top Notch 2: 
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels
                                  [click on image to enlarge]
    There is an easier way to run your Top Notch 2 in Parallels if cost is not a significant factor for you.  You must purchase Snow Leopard Server from a third party souce, such as eBay, which when sold by Apple was $499 or more.  I now see that it can be purchased on eBay for as little as $51.  Parallels allows for easy installation of Snow Leopard Server into Parallels.
    If cost is a factor, then use the link above the photo to follow my instructions on how to install Snow Leopard client ($19.99 from Apple) into Parallels and achieve the same result.
    Lastly, you could purchase a used Mac that will allow Snow Leopard to be the boot OS X installed (wth the optional Rosetta installed).  But this seems like an expensive alternative just to run one piece of software; and subject to hardware failure without notice or recourse.

  • Im having problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes  I'm getting cut edges in the video , does anyone have any idea ?

    Im having a problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes  I'm getting cut edges/lines  in the video specialy if i have titles it comes up really bad , I took the same video to a friend of mine who have PC and he uses Encore , did the encoding there and it was just fine no problems! BTW I tried using doferent setings in compressor from CBR and VBR I even pushed up the setings to 8 or 9 BR and still no luck !
    does anyone have any idea ?
    Thanks in advence ...

    Let's focus attention on just the Sony. (What model and what resolution are you shooting?)
    For now, I'll assume you're shooting 1080i.
    Take a representaive clip  into a new sequence. Add a title.
    In your sequence, make sure field dominance is set to Upper.
    Set render settings to Pro Res 422.
    After rendering, export QT self contained.
    Import into Compressor (I'm now referring to v3.5).
    Select the 90 minute Best quality DVD preset.
    Open frame controls and turn on (click the gear icon). Set Resize filter to Best.
    Submit burn and check quality on TV.
    Good luck.

  • Having a problem with the DVD drive not being recognized by the computer

    Compaq Presario CQ60-215DX NOTEBOOK PC, WINDOWS VISTA,  Error 10 when trying to reinstall the driver, says cannot start.
    I went thru the HP troubleshooting and it said to see the mfg of drive to solve problem!  I finally bought a new DVD drive P/N498479-001 for replacement . uninstalled the old drive & then reinstalled the new drive , restarted the computer & it still will not recognize the DVD player! Same error code, same problem. The problem started when I tried to play a CD that appeared to be scratched pretty badly, however my desk top played the CD with out problems? When you click on "computer" the drive does not show up!
    I did install a new router a couple of days before this happened, but I am using a data cable to it, so that should not be a problem. Any Ideas?

    Apple has moved on from Firewire and the current iMacs (and most MBPs) have Thunderbolt, USB3 and USB2.
    There are Firewire toThunderbolt adaptors. Here's one. You also want a four pin to nine pin FW cable to run from your camera to the adaptor.

  • Problems with the DVD SP

    I made an video in Compressor (1920*1080). i export it in DVD Studio PRO, with the resolution HD.
    i burnt it in one DVD but it doens't work in the DVD Player.... i also try it in the Bluray player and it doesn't work too...
    the only time that it worked, its on my Mac Pro.
    somebody knows why this happened?!
    Thks

    Since you made an HD DVD, that will only play in HD DVD players (which are not produced anymore) and your Mac. HD DVD is a dead format. HD DVD will not play in BD players either.

  • Is it possible to go full screen with the DVD player?

    I have a 21" IMac.  When trying to play a DVD, I cannot get the movie to go to full screen.  I can expand the screen to a larger size, but there are still a sizable margin left over.  Very annoying and distracting when trying to watch a movie.  I cannot find a full screen button anywhere on the device.  Any assistance you could give me with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,

  • Problems with mavericks dvd player

    Has anyone noticed that dvd scripting is poorly implemented in Mavericks?
    I have a dvd with a nested script to randomly select from among 48 tracks on a dvd.
    Since that exceeds script length limitations, I had to break the script down into 3 parts:
    1. A master script which decides whether to choose script 1 (items 1-24) or Script 2 (items 25-48)
    2. Script 1 which chooses from among tracks 1-24
    3. Script 2 which chooses from among tracks 25-48.
    Each track has the jump to set to the master script.
    This used to run fine under 10.8.6 and it runs find on a normal dvd player.
    Problem is: it doesn't run under Mavericks. The Mavericks dvd player simply ignores the master script after the first iteration and once it selects script one or script 2 it only will play back tracks from whichever script it selected the first time.
    This is a huge defect.
    I've tried adding a line to my code at the beginning of each script to reset the variable controlled by the master script to 0 (I use 1 or 2 to decide which script to choose). It seems to be ignoring the jump command of the tracks to return to the master script and will only return to the script which controls its playback.
    Any hope Apple that you will fix this?
    Keith

    Too bad I have to reply to myself in order to correct something:
    It seems the compiled DVD doesn't run under 10.8.6 either, but it runs FINE on a real dvd, runs fine in simulate mode in DVD Studio Pro. But for some reason even though DVDs are restricted to 124 lines of code, DVD studio Pro refuses to compile my script when I make it a mere 50 lines long. Anyone have a solution for that? I really need this to run from a harddrive so I can automate the playback. I'm trying anything I can to rewrite the script to conform to the limitations of the Apple DVD player though those are not stated clearly anywhere I can find. Does anyone know those limitations?

  • Sound problems with the cd player

    Hello All,
    I would like to play a music cd. All the gear works in Debian so we know the hardware is ok.
    The first issue is that I am told by "cd player" that I do not seem to have permission to open /dev/cdrom. I am in the audio group as well as the optical and wheel groups.
    The real problem it seems to me is that  /dev/cdrom is owned by root and the group is also root even though it is just a pointer to /dev/hdc which has a group set to "optical."
    Issue number two is that if root plays the "cd player" in the menu he can get it started but the player claims a known good music cd is "blank."
    This is all from a fresh install of "noodle." (0.7.1) and I use xfce4. I followed every step in the wiki.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Regards, Joe

    I got the stock cd player to work finally, but I am not sure what did it, as I had moved on to other things and just tried it once more this morning when it started working. It is possible that something happened in the re-boot.
    Thanks to everyone for their ideas.
    One quick question, however. How do you get xmms to play a cd? All I get is a playlist editor. I just want to pop a cd in the drive and hear music.
    Thanks.

  • Problems with the DVD burning software

    I had ulead dvd installed on my pc but then had a crash so had to reinstall, when i tried this all i keep getting is error code 6002. I've followed the instructions that came with the error code but this made no difference. Today i tried to install Pinnacle Studio Plus and i keep getting the same error message. Ive stopped other programs, emptied the temp folder and still no joy. Help please.

    Hi
    Please check the Ulead or Pinnacle support site. Maybe you can find a proper answer. If there is no solution try to use System restore tool. It will help you to set the system to previous configuration. You can also remove both of applications manually and check if the Nero works again.
    It is possible that after removing Ulead or Pinnacle in the registry stays a lot of entries that can be removed manually but if you are not a user with a lot of experience let it go.
    I have also P20 almost two years and use Nero burning software without problems.
    I am not if this site is a right one for you but you can check it http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q110646 . It is very interesting.
    Good luck!

    This may sound silly, but I've got to ask if there still is a DVD in the drive.

  • I am having major problems with the Flash Player Download

    I have downloaded it probably 12 times +. I have tried everything I know and keep coming back to the boards for more. I don't know what else to do. I have I/E 8. I use AVG 8.5. I use Net zero and their proprietary pop up blocker. I download 10.1.82.76. I have also downloaded the older version and tried that. I tried the manual download. I made sure AVG is off. My Internet setting is at Medium.I have CCleaner installed. The blocker is on.I do see the whirling F video and it say I have the corresponding download to the right, and that it was successfully downloaded. I go to my control panel and in there it shows the download manger actively installed with a quantity of size. It shows the Adobe Flash Player also installed at least in name, BUT there is no quantity displayed for the file size. So this tells me it is somewhere, but just not totally installed or stuck somewhere. I completely remove it each time I reload it And I restart before I redownload. As far as I remember I already had it operating a while ago and all of a sudden my game site wouldn't work on Facebook. So I troubleshot it. It said to download the latest version if the game won't start so I did. And that is when this whole download problem began, probably about a week and a half ago.I have Windows XP Pro in I believe 32 bit, but where it says to check it says 128 bit capable, I think was the word. I can't find specific 32 or 64 anywhere.XP version is several years old.and I don't have any brand new hardware. It is an ASUS board, top of the line back when. and no problems before. There is a raid system running. as the board was designed for it. And I run two mirrored high speed discs in SATA. but they are almost totally empty. They are Raptors.The board is a P5AD2 Deluxe. I just have 1 Gig or ram installed.I use a slow but usually reliable dial up download. I can't get high speed.I have another spyware blocker in the tray Zone Alarm, but I very seldom use it and keep it off most of the time and every time I have downloaded the Flash.In tools my Flash Object is enabled AND it shows the correct download version of Flash. Under Internet Properties/Advanced I don't know which to set where so I haven't changed any.........Well that's about all I can tell you that I remember I have tried. Now you can see what you can think of. I'm out and really ticked at this Adobe thing.
    I hope I can find my way back to these posts for the answers.

    Ok, but before I get involved with a lot of uninstall's, whereas you said that the earlier one didn't effect anything when it did, what is this going to effect and can I recover the deleted info or files if it doesn't work or causes problems as I say it did before?
    Second I never used a downloaded uninstaller before during any of my uninstall's. Just the one in the control panel listing included in the FP header and listed there. It appeared that it removed all of the FP info because as I said I went to the Start/search and looked for any Adobe FP items and found none. So I assumed I did a good job of clearing any FP before rebooting and re-downloading FP. So is that a yes or a no to start with?
    Third You, I guess it was you said that from what I told you FP is loaded and operating as it should. If so why would I do this (continue making changes) now, when apparently the problem is elsewhere? IF in fact it is, that is.
    Fourth. I received a reply from Facebook tech saying that IE8 does have some issues with their app's due to similar construction platforms or something to that effect (I saved the mail so I can quote it if necessary), and that I should try a bunch of these recommendations and see if they work, which I did not yet do.I just sort of gave up on their game and said screw it. If they can't provide software that works with current popular platforms then I don't need their software. And part of what they suggested was to change my browser. I am used to IE and really don't like changing things all the time just because there's something new. And many of the things available in Firefox and such, I probably don't have use for so why should I change to begin with. Anyway I wasn't really willing to change my browser to suit their software. But in another point, the game was working fine for quite a while with my original FP untill it just quit one day. And as I said I don't know of any changes I made to cause it. I didn't change browsers or download any other games or change ISP or change FP or modify how they ran as far as I know.
    Fifth. I received an e-mail from a girl who like me posted on here and while reading some of the posts before posting my self read hers. Our problem or complaint was quite similar and someone suggested that she use a different browser and she apparently did and it apparently because she emailed me and said that that was what worked for here. Again, I didn't persue that avenue.
    Sixth. But just FYI any of the seemingly similar games will still not work on the Facebook site for me because I downloaded a similar one to the one that didn't work and it did just as the other one was doing. and loaded all the way until the game picture loaded and stopped blank. So either I have a problem or bug or Facebook/Game supplier does. Maybe both.
    So please answer these before I just go off and make changes I can't recover from if my system crashes because of a mod. Thanks.

  • Problem with the Flash Player 1,7,700,202 and monitor stand-by

    Hi
    I have installed Flash Player 1,7,700,202 on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit with Internet Explorer 10.x and I have a problem on each account:
    When I play back a video or I see a Flash animation on a Web page, the monitor does not go more into stand-by during their visualization. How come?
    Thanks
    Bye

    Are you looking to have your monitor go into standby while video is playing?  I suspect you might get a better response on Microsoft's forums.

  • Having problems with my music player on my iPad with the new io7

    Downloaded the new io7 on my iPad mini. Now I have problems with the music player not letting me download songs onto my iPad, then closing out the app. Then on iTunes it shows up in the downloads tab and comes up as an error and still won't download. At this point I'd rather have the old io6. Any info would be helpful. Thanks
