Hi,
G6 is a series of many models, what is yours. Normally the laptop should come with a software which allow you to watch DVD movies on your computer (given it has DVD player). The software can be PowerDVD:

Can't watch DVDs or play games on Equium A60

Hi
I updated my BIOS about three months ago because I was having issues with ati2dvag.dll, and that seems to have solved the problem. I tried every fix I could find for that particular BSOD including changing the driver for my PCI-to-PCI bridge. Only the BIOS update seems to have cured that for good.
However I've since discovered that I can't watch DVDs on my laptop, or play any games with 3D content. I use WinDVD to watch DVDs, and it keeps bringing up a message telling me to lower my screen resolution or change to a lower refresh rate. However, when I do this it still doesn't play the DVD.
On trying to run a game (in this case Lemmings Revolution), the game began to load to a black screen before giving me the error message "3D accelerator not detected".
Any help would be gratefully received, as I can't work out what to do!

Cheers - Direct3D is apparently unavailable, but all the drivers are final versions as recommended. I suppose it's possible they've become corrupted, but it says 'No problems found'. Any ideas? I'm reluctant to interfere with DirectX without knowing what I'm doing.

Can't watch dvds any more. Error: RADIO. What's that suppose to me

Title says basically everything I need to know. Why, when I use the remote to open the creative media source engine to play a dvd and I try playing it it says Error: Radio. I mean, come on, what's the Radio got to do with watching Dvds? I get a nero dvd encoder error or something when I try using InterActual, so I end up just using either Windows media player or VLC. I use VLC instead because I basically use it for everything video related. My point is, I need help. How do I get rid of this Radio error message and play some dvds? I've tried reinstalling and everything as well. I want to use the program because I can use the remote with it. I removed the front cover of my case just to use this remote but now I cant really.
Specs: ASUS a8n32-sli deluxe, 7800gt, x-fi fataly Rev A with a heat sink on it, amd 3800x2, TWINX2048-3500LLPRO Corsair ram, and.... some sony dvd dual layer burners, oh yea, windows 64bit sp.
I used to be able to play movies on my old abit an8-sli, but since I've switched, It's been doing this. It's also harder to install this card on this motherboard because the cd drivers will not detect the card after you install drivers from the cd, I end up downloading the beta drivers off of creative to install, but did not try downloading media source from there for I dont know if it would do the same and if it would work with the remote. Games and everything plays fine besides some times the card mixes sounds that should be going to the left and end up being on the right and vise versa.

Nope, does not help =/.
I've only have one decoder on my whole computer, VLC is just a program that has the codecs and decoders intergrated with it so no other players or system files can use them. It's a fresh install of windows and after I installed windows I went straight to chipset drivers (lan, mobo, nforce4, etc). After those I went and installed the video card and the sound card. I then rented a movie and tried playing it. Thats when I got the error, then I nero for a quick decoder because I did not want to go searching through my cds for my purenvida decoder thing.
I went and installed interactual from the cds for my mobo and gave me a corrupt decoder so I needed to watch the movie fast so I just went and installed VLC. After the movie, I uninstalled nero and got the pure nvidia decoder in and the same thing happens. I did remove everything even all registries going to the nero decoder and still the thing presist. The only decoder/codec on my computer now is the purevideo thing. The stuff still happens.
But this time when I installed the purevideo and went into interactual(after updates), it said I cant access the sound drivers for the program. Gi'ves me the following Problem:
You receive an "Audio Subsystem" error in InterActual Player when you attempt to play the disc.
Solution:
If you encounter an error in the Audio Subsystem when trying to play a DVD in InterActual Player, this usually means that there is an audio component of your system that is needed by InterActual Player, but is not available. Please make sure that any media programs that could use sound resources in your system are shut down. Examples include RealJukebox?, Music Match Jukebox?, or WinAmp. If any of these programs are running in the background, please make sure they are shut down, and try the DVD playback in InterActual Player again.
DVD playback in InterActual software usually uses the DirectSound components of your computer, which are installed with the DirectX set of drivers provided by Microsoft. If you continue to encounter the error, this may mean that DirectSound is not working properly on this system. Problems with DirectSound will most likely affect any program that depends on it, including some audio programs and many games. It may be necessary to upgrade or reinstall DirectX on your computer, as well as upgrading or reinstalling the drivers for your sound hardware as a potential solution to the issue. Please contact your computer manufacturer for help in doing this if you are not sure how to do it.
If nothing else works, this may simply be an installation problem with the DVD playback software provided on your computer, which is causing audio components to not be accessible. You may be able to resolve it by uninstalling and reinstalling this DVD playback software, using the software discs provided by the computer manufacturer. After doing this, try the DVD in the InterActual software again.
I've also tried this with no success now. There's something keeping the directx feature accessing the card is what I think that radio error is for. So, now all I need to know is how to fix this little problem if any one knows.

Satellite A105-S2101 - Can't watch DVDs with Express Media Player

I got this Satellite A105-S2101 notebook computer, and the LCD blew out on me within 2 years.
Luckily, I can still make use of the VGA, and S-Video outputs, but it may as well be a desktop PC now. Anyway, I just wanted to add that because of this problem, I no longer am able to watch DVDs with Express Media Player because it wont accept VGA or S-Video as defaults just my busted-up, good-for-nothing, always blurry anyway LCD.
It's only when I am in Windows mode that I can toggle to an external monitor.
The reason I write is, if there ever was a need to add anything for an update to EMP--now's the time and that would be something to add to it. What the heck?

Hi
I think the Express Media Player does not run in Windows mode
I mean it's not neccessary to run the Windows OSin order to run Express Media Player and therefore the video output does not work in connection with EMP.
I think you will have to use an Windows based software player VLC player is very nice. I use it too its small, free tool and you can play almost all files audio and video.

I Can't Watch DVDs Or Movies Full Screen

Hey all. I've had a read through a bunch of forums and no one seems to have had my problem. (At least, no one has posted about it that I can find).
I've had my Intel iMac for two months or so, and have always been able to watch full screen DVDs or .avi/.wmv/.mpg movies. However, in the past few days, whenever I go full screen (in any program; DVD Player, VLC, whatever) the playback becomes sketchy, the frame rate drops and everything gets jerky.
However, I can watch .wmv files fullscreen using Windows Media Player.
I haven't installed anything new recently. It just seems to have started happening for no good reason.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. It's not much fun watching DVDs or .avi's when they're not full screen. Thanks!

Thanks very much for the suggestions
My hard drive has about 130 gigs available, so I'm sure that's not it. I just repaired permissions and did a safe boot and the problem remains.
It's probably also worth noting that I've tried running both VLC and DVD Player after a reboot with absolutely no other programs running, so I don't think it's a memory problem.
I'm totally, 100% stumped.

I can't watch DVD movie on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011). Why?

i have a Macbook pro 13"
Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Processor 2.3GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I tried to mount a DVD movie disc into my macbook but it automatically ejects without running.
My mac has Windows on bootcamp. The disc wouldn't run on windows as well.
Is there any problem with my mac? I rmb i could watch DVD on my mac.

Hey lilnaix,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you are experiencing issues with the SuperDrive on your MacBook Pro. The following resource provides some great troubleshooting information.
Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/HT2801
While you should definitely give the entire article a read, I have highlighted a particular section that may resolve your issue:
Accepts discs but they don't mount or are automatically ejected
1. Make sure the drive is not placed upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up as shown in section 1.
2. Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
3. Connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
4. Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
5. Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
- OS X Snow Leopard v10.6 or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
- OS X Lion v10.7 and later: Click the Apple () menu and then hold down the Option key. Choose System Information from the menu.
6. If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Can you watch DVDs in iTunes?

This might sound like a stupid question but can you play DVDs in iTunes because I then want to download it onto my iPod. Please help

Sorry but no, iTunes cannot play video DVDs. There are, however, third-party applications that can convert DVDs to iPod-compatible formats. Do a web search for "iPod DVD" and you'll find a number of options.

Can you watch dvds on ipad mini

what is the simplest way to watch a dvd on my ipad mini?

Usually, there are 2 mothds to put DVD movies on your iPad mini:
Method 1: Convert the DVD to MP4 with the open source media converter Handbrake.
It's a totally free solution. However, as the description on its official site describes: " Handbrake can process most common multimedia files and any DVD or BluRay sources that do not contain any kind of copy protection", you can only deal with DVDs without copy protections. However, in fact, most commercial DVDs you bought or rent are copy-protected.
If you just want to play home-made DVDs on your iPad mini, handbrake is enough; if you want to play commercial ones, refer to method 2.
Method 2: Use the professional DVD to iPad mini software to save your DVD as iPad videos.
All DVDs can be easily handled effortlessly.

Can you download dvds to your laptop and put them on your i pod touch??

does anyone know if you can download dvds onto your ipod touch without going onto the app store

Then you need a converion program like Handbreak (both Mac and PC). Handbreak has presets for the iPod. However, you will lose chapters and other selections items that a DVD has.

WHAT is the use of a retina display when you can't watch DVD movies? what's the purpose of a super thin retina macbook pro when you need to buy an external optical drive? doesn't it defeat the purpose already?

i don't care if my macbook is a little thicker as long as i don't need to burden myself of an external optical drive just for a simple and common task of watching/listening to discs.

I'm confused, why did you choose to buy the retina model if you don't like it? This is exactly why Apple still manufacture/sell the 'old' style MBP which is thicker and has an optical drive built-in!
