DVD does not recognize any movies

Hi everyone.
I have just realized that I have a problem with my DVD drive. It will not play any movies.
It does recognize and play CD's, DVD's with software and even Blank DVD's, but won't display the icon of a DVD with a movie on the desktop.
I have checked the System Preferences for CDs and DVDs and I have the check mark to be displayed on my desktop. It also appears as an active drive in the System Profiler (MATSHITADVD-R UJ-857D:).
I have erased the hard drive and installed a new copy of the OS and it recognized the DVD and played the movies, but after I have installed some other software (Google Earth, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, Photoshop, Quick Time Pro, DIVX, and MacFuse I get again the same problem).
It certainly has to be a problem with incompatibility with any of this software.
Could that be with MacFuse?
Does anyone have any idea of what's happening?
What can I do / suggest?
Thanks in advance.

  • My imac is not recognizing any external dvd writer drive. I have imac with Core i7 and Mac OS 10.6.8. I have tried external dvd writers from Samsung and Amazon Essentials but the computer does not recognize any of them. Which Dvd writer is compatible?

    My imac is not recognizing any external dvd writer drive. I have imac with Core i7 and Mac OS 10.6.8. I have tried external dvd writers from Samsung and Amazon Essentials but the computer does not recognize any of them. Which Dvd writer is compatible?

    I have an external firewire burner; it never shows on the desktop unless I insert a CD or DVD - that icon will then show (if I have my preferences set to show those on the desktop). Hae you checked in Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) to see if it is listed under drives?

    If you are in Test System, you can use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to totally delete the depreciation area (tcode SE37, specify chart of depreciation and depreciation area), After that recreate your depreciation area and run AFBN. But before you do that, have you created a retirement transaction type that limits the posting on your new depreciation area? If not create one.
    Hope this helps.

  • Premiere Element 12 does not recognize AVI movies.

    Premiere Element 12 does not recognize AVI movies created with Casio Exilim EX-FH100 camera.
    The operating system (Win 7 and Windows Media Player) recognizes these files without problems.
    While trying to load an AVI movie in Premiere appears this inscription: This file type is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.
    How can I fix the problem?
    Thank you.
    Francesco

    Thanks to your advice I solved the problem.
    I installed the codec Morgan M-JPG from an existing link (http://morgan-multimedia-mjpeg-codec.en.lo4d.com/download) different from what I have proposed, this link was continually blocked by my anti-virus.
    After restarting Prenmiere Elements 12 (without reboot) AVI movies of my Casio have been read.
    The operating system of my PC is Windows 7.
    Thank you.

    having problems with adobe premiere 8 freezing. cannot playback my videos. also, when i try to burn to DVD, does not recognize burner. losing my work constantly cause of freezes and crashes.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Anytime I am getting too far ahead, then let me know and we can work together on putting the essentials together for this troubleshooting.
    From your screenshot, you have a Windows 7 apparently 64 bit computer, lots of RAM. That computer would be great for Premiere Elements 11 Windows.
    But Premiere Elements 8 is only a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of your 64 bit system. So all that RAM is excessive in a 32 bit system with its limitation of max supported installed RAM being 4 GB (of which 3 GB or less of that are available).
    So, the freezing and such could be explained by limited resources depending how much you have in the project when the freezing occurs and what formats are involved - like AVCHD. The burner not being recognized by Premiere Elements is probably another matter.
    Let us start here....another place where you could be getting hit on the resource side of things....
    1. Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features in version 8 are notorious for grabbing system resources. If you have them enabled, that could account for much of the program freezing. So, please make sure they are not selected.
    a. Background Rendering. In the Premiere Elements 8 workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, and make sure there is no check mark next to Background Rendering option.
    b. AutoAnalzyer. In the Premiere Elements workspace, click on the Organizer tab in the row below the selected Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and uncheck all the option under that.
    To get back to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace go to File Menu/Exit.
    For most of us, Premiere Elements 8 was unusable without the 8.0.1 Update. Did you install that? Have you ever worked successfully with your Premiere Elements 8 on the computer where it is now? And, was that with or without the 8.0.1 Update?
    Let us stop here and see how we are doing.
    Lots of other factors to get into including the burner recognition one.
    Thanks for looking at the troubleshooting comments.

    hi I bought an America iPhone 5 and went on all mobile networks was blocked when I got home in Romania phone does not recognize any SIM not working sorry my english not good please can you help me

    Ask the carrier in the US who the phone is locked to if they will unlock it for you - put an unlock request into that carrier.
    Other than that and if they refuse to unlock it, then there is nothing you can do except buy a new phone.

  • Windows XP re-installation does not recognize any hard drive - help

    Hi,
    I have X60s Model: 17044JU
    I have original XP installed.
    My computer is very slow and I am trying to reinstall XP from my CD (and format HD so I clean everything).
    When Windows installations blue screen shows up and loads drivers etc then it tells me that it does not recognize any hard drive.
    I thought I may need SCSI or RAID drivers but since I don't have floppy I can not load them.
    Any help how to install new XP would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi
    I changed BIOS setup from AHCI to Compatibility and indeed it worked.
    However there is easier way to reload new system on thinkpad.
    I didn't know that but you can press ThinkVantage button when you start your laptop and IBM utilities start up.
    Then there is an option to reload the system to be in original state as shipped from the factory. It loads or drivers and initial programs. It also formats your hard drive.
    I found it pretty convenient.
    Thanks for help.

  • HP Pavilion Elite e9120y bios does not recognize any cd/dvd/bluray or hard disk drives

    I erased my hard disk to install Windows 7.  Now my computer intermittently does not recognize that there are any drives attached to the sata ports.  I go into BIOS pressing F10 and it does not list any drives at all.  I have a DVD burner and a bluray and a western digital 1TB hard drive connected.  Sometimes they show that they are connected other times it doesn't.  It's strange.
    When it does recognize there are drives connected, I boot up from the Windows 7 DVD.  Then I try to create a partition on the hard drive.  The installation recognizes a 930GB hard drive with no partitions.  Every time I try to create a partition, it says I need a driver for the hard drive.  I have a driver that I downloaded off of HP's website yesterday, the driver for nvidia sata.  I put it on my usb drive.  It recognizes it but says it is the wrong driver.  I don't know what else to do.  I have built dozens of computer and repaired hundreds, but I have never run across a problem like this and I hope you can help me.

    Thanks for your help, but that's exactly the driver I used.  It didn't work.
    My problem is not just with the hard drive.  All three drives (two optical, one hard disk) should show up in bios, whether or not there is a disk in the optical drive or a partition on the hard drive.  It intermittently stops detecting the drives.  One time I boot and go into BIOS they are there, and I can run installation of Windows (partially).  But if a turn off the computer and turn it back on, they've disappeared.  Sometimes they will be detected, sometimes they won't.
    I'm thinking the driver problem with the Windows 7 Professional x64 installation is somehow connected to the drives randomly not showing up.  All drives stop showing up at the same time, not just the hard drive.  So it's not a driver issue.  It has to be connected to the BIOS and motherboard.
    This computer is only 4 months out of warranty.
    Any more help would be appreciated.

  • DVD Drive will not recognize any movie DVD disk in the drive - thus will not play any dvd movies.

    HP G71 449WV dvd drive will not recognize any dvd disc that has a movie on it. Will not play movies, keeps saying to insert disc when there is a disc in there.  It will recognize a dvd data disc or a blank dvd, it just will not recognize any dvd movies.  I've tried the microsoft fix it, downloaded new codecs, using different dvd playback software but none of that works since the drive will not recognize there is even a dvd movie in the drive.  Computer is out of warranty.

    Hello crollinsphoto1, welcome to the HP Forums.
    It appears that you're not able to play movie DVD's in the DVD player in your notebook. I will try to assist you with this.
    I'd recommend starting with this document:
        Resolving DVD and Blu-ray Movie Problems (Windows 7).
    Also, are these purchased DVD's or burnt DVD's?  
    Do the movies play in other sources? (DVD player, other PC)
    Let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

  • DNG Converter 6.4 does not recognize any RAW files

    Hi,
    I have updated DNG Converter from 6.2 RC to 6.3 and 6.4. DNG Converter 6.2 RC from Adobe Labs recognizes all my RAW files (Canon PowerShot S50, PowerShot SX1IS, EOS 400D). The official releases of 6.3 and 6.4 do not recognize any RAW files of these cameras.
    I select a directory, where the raw files are located, but DNG Converter tells me that no files where selected. With 6.2 RC, I select the directory and everything just works fine.
