DVD-Audio player does not detect any DVD-Audio sour

Hi,
I am trying to play a DVD-Audio disc on my computer using the DVD-Audio player software that came with my Audigy 2 card, but the software fails to detect my DVD-ROM dri've as a DVD-Audio source.
I can play audio CDs and DVDs with no problems using the DVD-ROM dri've.
The OS is WindowsXP Pro with SP and I have the latest patches applied to both driver and DVD-Audio player software.
I would appreciate any suggestions if someone experienced this anoying problem and solved it.
Thank a lot!

DVD Audio encryption security has unfortunately been hacked using the decoders within WinDVD from Intervideo.
As a result, DVD Audio playback using the WinDVD/Audigy combination has been suspended on "new" versions of the software.
I am a registered user of WinDVD and upgraded to WinDVD 7 Platinum in June and DVD Audio was working fine.
I mistakenly downloaded an "upgrade" to WinDVD 7 at the end of July and found all my DVD Audio discs failed to play.
Intervideo (as usual) refused to respond to my technical support queries when I enquired as to whether the DVD audio support was removed in view of the breach of the DVDA encryption.
Thankfully the previous version was still available for download (after much searching on the web) - WinDVD.Platinum.7.0.Release.2.Build 27.07Using a new activation key from the Intervideo website STILL didn't enable DVDA playback on this previous version however.......... I was able to fudge this using the original purchase activation key by changing the PC system date to within 0 days of my initial activation key supply which I had stored in an email.Hey presto - back to WinDVD DVDA support!Intervideo are being very crafty.... they have updated the WinDVD website to remove all references to DVD Audio support and then were answering my technical support queries as if I wasn't configuring my PC correctly.
What versions of DVD Audio playback software are you using?
Creative DVDAudio player? WinDVD (version?)

I cant get a DVD to work

I cant get a DVD to work on my MacBook Pro even though I have iDVD!

iDVD is for creating movies on a DVD. Is that what you are trying to do?
For playback of DVDs use DVD Player, or VLC:

Trying to get my fcp project to burn to dvd at the highest quality? Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
How are you adding the files to Compressor?
In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)

Encore 2.0 does not detect my DVD

I have Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio Preium. It is about two years old. I teach a high school class. When ever I have tried to burn a DVD in Primier Pro or Encore it has come back and said it can not detect my DVD. The technolgoy person has tried over the past year to fix. Finally her told me to just buy an external DVD burner because he couldn't figure it out. I purchased a Plextor and hooked it up and I get the same problem.
I know it is not my DVD's because I can burn stuff in Nero. But I want to be able to burn out of Adobe.
While the students are out of school, I thought I might be able to find a solution.

If you have Encore 2.0, that's almost 4 years old - but the vintage of the software is not important.
Instead, look in the FAQ on this forum for software to avoid/remove - many codecs and other DVD burning apps can "break" Encore's burning functionality.
If you need a quick fix, try building a DVD image from Encore, and then burn it from Nero.

HELP !!! i cant detect my iphone camera My Computer !!

i can sync my iphone fine in itunes and all... everything else is working fine... except that i cant detect my camera to copy out the photos i have taken with the iphone camera as it is not detected on my computer...
after checking my device manager, i determined that the driver is installed but there were errors... after reinstalling the driver, i still have the same problems..
can anyone help me ? i got lots of photos to get out of the phone... and emailing them will take me forever...
im on windows XP HE with SP3...

I figured it out!!!
I've been searching for the answer to this issue for about 6 months, but just figured it out. Follow the steps below in Windows XP and your issue will be solved. The problem is that when you first plugged your iPhone the first time, a little box popped up asking how you wanted to connect the iPhone to your computer (USB auto detect "feature" in XP). When I did this the first time, I mistakenly told it to do "nothing" every time I connect in the future. This allowed iTunes to still see the phone, but Windows didn't know what to do with the phone, so it ignored the phone. Apple really should have a Knowledge Brief about this!
Step 1: Connect your iPhone.
Step 2: Go to your Windows Control Panel in your Start Menu
Step 3: Click on "System" icon
Step 4: Click on the "Hardware" tab
Step 5: Click on the "Device Manager" button
Step 6: Scroll down to the "Imaging devices" item and click on the little "+" to the left to view the item underneath. If you right click and select "properties" on each of the items listed, one should be the iPhone. This isn't totally obvious which is the iPhone, but if you look closely in the device description, one of the devices will say something about it being an iPhone.
Step 7: make sure you're not in the middle of syncing
Step 8: Right click on the device that is the iPhone (under the "Imaging devices" section as detailed above) and click "uninstall"
Step 9: Detach the iphone cable and then reconnect it after a few seconds. This will cause Windows to reinstall the USB driver
Step 10: Now you will get that magic pop up box from Windows when you replug the iPhone back in asking how you want to connect the iPhone to Windows. Choose "Scanner and Camera Wizard" from the list presented. That will allow you to download the iPhone photos to your computer. It will also now show up under "My Computer" in File Explorer.
Best of luck!

Hello once again.. i have formatted my external Hard drive it using exFAT, now my windows cant detect my device, can u plzz help me the whole purpose is getting ruined, i use Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

hello once again.. i have formatted my external Hard drive it using exFAT, now my windows cant detect my device, can u plzz help me the whole purpose is getting ruined, i use Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

This is a problem with the Mac OS X implementation of exFAT. I've had the same problem.
Best is to use a Windows box to format the drive exFAT. Then it can be read by both Windows and Mac OS.
But aren't Macs supposed to "Just Work"? Not in this case.

JMF cant detect more than one camera

hiiii to all
1 ) in my program that list all devices (webcams) connected to my DELL laptop ( windows xp2 ) and choose one to capture from
it detects only one cam that is embeded in my lap when i connected another cam
it lists only the embeded cam and not detect the external connected cam although i capture from it with my program on other pc
i tried also JMF registry to detect capture devices it also detect the embeded cam only
2 ) also i tried to run the program on another HP laptop (windows vista business) and cant detect any devices(audio,video)
Is JMF conflict with widows vista?
really need answer for these 2 questions
thanks in advance

I'll answer your first round of Flex questions, but they are off-topic for this forum because they have nothing to do with Java...but I'll answer these for you.
how about adobe flex? is it possible with desktop applications using socket programming ?
or it is used on web pages only ?Flex is a web-based or Desktop application architecture...
and how about its capabilities ? easy to use or not ?Dunno, never used it. The code I saw looked pretty simple, it uses something called "ActionScript" to function, which looks a lot like JavaScript.
When I looked into it, I never had any doubt that I'd be able to write an application in it.
can i use both JMF, Adobe flex in same application efficiently ?No, they are completely different things, you can't mix them into the same application. It's certainly possible to transmit data back and forth between a Flex application and a JMF application, but they would be separate applications.
If you have any other questions about Flex, you'll need to find an Adobe Flex forum to ask them in...

Recently i uncheck the box i tune wifi sync and tried to connect my usb cable to my macbook, now i tune cant detect my i phone at all!! Pls help as i cant sync my i phone anymore!

Recently i unchecked the box i tune wifi sync and try to connect my i phone using the usb cable provided. Now my macbook cant detect my phone, help!! I cant sync my phone anymore....

The update did not do anything.
AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network.

Seriously I need help!! PC cant detect ipod through firewire or usb.

It's been months since my 3rd gen 20 GB ipod stopped working correctly. After I installed the new updater for my (03-23-2006) computer, my pc cant detect the ipod AT ALL!!! It's not showing in itunes, not showing up in the updater, and it's not showing up in "My Computer". I plug it in the usb slots, it does NOTHING. Plug it through firewire... all it does is just charges up and that's it.
I tried unistalling and reinstalling old versions of the updater and itunes but even that's not working. My ipod use to work fine by either connecting the ipod through a firewire or USB. Now, NONE of the usb or firewire slots (back and front) wont detect it.
I did the 5 R's hundreds of times and placed it in disk hard trying to see if any of the slots would detect it but no luck!! I also reset the ipod in every usb and firewire slot but no luck. I alse disable my norton antivirus but that didnt help either. There's nothing wrong with the usb or firewire cables because they both worked with my friend's ipod.
I even drove over 5 miles to the nearest apple store to see if they can help and their macs couldnt detect the ipod, even though my ipod was formated for win. They couldnt help me at all.
I've must of done EVERYTHING!!
Someone please help!!!
3rd gen 20 GB Windows XP

My girlfriends 3rd gen 20G Ipod is having similar problems. If I connect it via USB, the PC doesn't recognise it, and if I connect it via Firewire, I get a blue screen with ntfs.sys are the named culprit.
I've tried it on two differnet PCs now with the same results (both with latest iTunes and update software on them).
I've still got a 3rd gen 40G iPod thats working fine with both PCs, so im starting to think it's a problem with the disk in the iPod though. Although it's usable, theres some strange clicking noises when I connect it (before the crash...), and it tends to always skip the first song in a playlist/album etc and only play the second one.
