DVD movie not working.

It makes noises like it's trying to read it, and then it spits it out. This is the first movie DVD that I've put in it that it's done this with. So far every other movie DVD has worked just fine.
Any tips for getting this DVD to work?

Step 1: Insert DVD.
Step 2: Insert DVD again when it get's spit out.
Step 3-1337: Rince and repeat until it goes through, on step 4...or step 1337, if you can last that long before giving up.
Step 1,338: Copy the
AUDIO_TS
VIDEO_TS
folders to your computer so you never have to worry about the computer not being able to read the DVD again.
Step 1,339 - optional: Use Handbrake to convert it to a movie file.
Step 1,340 - optional: Burn the folders to another DVD if you only wanna watch it through a DVD or don't have the space to keep the folders. Then test the new DVD before erasing the folders.
Step 1,341: Sit back, relax, and enjoy the DVD.

  • All my movies not working anymore since download the new version OS X 10.9.4

    all my movies not working anymore since download the new version OS X 10.9.4

    Hi Jeff,
    In Safari I get this error message: Safari can't open "aam://SAP...[link of the download]" because OS X doesn't recognize internet address starting with "aam:". I thought it was a browser issue (I can't click the download button in Chrome) so downloaded FireFox but it also gives me an error message saying: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address because one of the following protocols (aam) isn't connected to any program or allowed in this context.
    I don't have Creative Cloud Membership, I received a CD with Photoshop Lightroom 5 with my new camera from Samsung. Because my MacBook Air doesn't have a DVD drive I figured I should download it. Couldn't find Lightroom 5 in the Appstore so I figured I should download a trial version and simply add the key from the DVD. Unfortunately I can't even download the trial version due to these error messages.
    Hope you can help!
    Thanks,

  • Dvd drive not worked properly

     i have  hp pavilion dv4 series.my dvd drive not worked properly.for that purpose only i went 7 times in your service centre but they won't take action  till now .why u people do like this .i want explation and just change my  dvd drive that's all.

    tcrite,
    Sounds like a bad drive...I would get a replacement. According to Accelerate Your Mac database, it should work without issue.
    Just enter the model number of the drive and select your Powerbook G3 2000, and you will see four reports on this model.

    my cd/dvd does not work  it does not appear on the the computer list of drives

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

  • I have lost the password and the DVD is not working on my old mac G4 500mhz, how can I get back my password?

    I have lost my password and the DVD is not working on my old mac desktop G4 500mhz. I have tried use the boot up disk to change the admin password. But the DVD did not work. ( I did not touch this machine for years.) But i need retreive something , so I have tried the shell script in the terminal
    1. fsck-y and the mount-uw to try to change and find the service directory's plist to change the password. But after I get the mount -uw, it show illegal option message.
    What I can do now to solve this problem? in shell script or any other way?
    Thx in advance.

    Hi,
    A DVD drive that is not working after many years not used:
    most probably dust on the little laser lens.
    Take the drive out and if you can reach this lens: clean it with pure alcohol on Q-Tip.
    Many people throw away cd or dvd players all the time because they stopped working, and very often it can easily be fixed by cleaning this lens.
    I used to have a G5, where I couldn't access that lens. It was very sensitive to dust.
    I have fixed it several times with compressed air. One time I didn't have canned air, but a bikepump did the trick.
    If you have another mac, I'd try to access the G4 internal disk with firewire target disk mode.
    good luck

  • Can I restore my system from install discs when DVD is not working?

    Can I restore my system from install discs when DVD is not working?
    There is a disc jammed in the drive and when I try to do an install in Target Firewire mode using a G5 Tower I get an error saying the software cannot be installed on this machine, before I can even select the iMac's drive. I'm using the grey software install discs that came with the iMac.
    Is my only option to open up the iMac and get the jammed disc out?
    Thanks

    Problem solved - I posted on the general Tiger Discussions as well.
    I had the wrong machine started in Target Firewire mode.

  • Optical DVD drive not working properly: HP notebook g61

    Game disks and dvd movie disks not working consistently. Sometimes detected as empty dvd disk and asks if I want to burn to the disk. Other times does not read that there is a disk in the drive. Computer is about one month old. On one of my game disks, I have to reinsert 4 or 5 times before it will read properly. Any suggestions?

    Sounds like you use the disk drive a lot. Before we panic and recommend a new drive, try a DVD lens cleaner you can pick up at any place that sells a lot of DVDs, like even WalMart. Run the cleaner disk and see if that helps.

  • External DVD drive not working with Lombard G3 333

    I have an external DVD drive that worked when I had 10.4, but had to reformat HD and now only have 10.3.9, and now the DVD drive does not work with DVDs, it will work with CDs and CDR media, but not with DVD media. My Lombard did not come with DVD originally and I am using a PC Card (Macintosh PowerBook DVD-Video PC Card For PowerBook G3 Series) and it worked before with 10.4, but not with 10.3, any ideas? Also have tried with 9.x, no go either. Any help would be appreciated.
    Also, would it be difficult to add a DVD logic board to my Lombard?
    Joey

    xamdu,
    I am reading and replying to this post after first replying to your other post, so a few of my previous comments are redundant.
    Regarding the FireWire(?) USB 2.0(?) DVD drive: It is possible Tiger supported your DVD drive but Panther does not. I would give PatchBurn for Panther a try:
    http://patchburn.de/download.html
    If the above is unsuccessful, take a look at this workaround:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040330171655882
    You can swap logic boards but it does require a lot of disassembly.
    Since no version of OSX supports Apple DVD Player, I am assuming you have a third-party player like VLC installed to watch movies. If this is the case, the DVD Decoder PC card is not necessary. If booted to 9.x, you of course will need the decoder PC card but I did not know 9.x's Apple DVD Player supported external drives.

  • CD/DVD player not working (Toshiba Satellite L875d-S723​2)

    I purchased a  (Toshiba Satellite L875d-S7232) on August 17, 2012 from a major retailer. Recently, the CD/DVD player will not play, or even recognize, commercially produced DVD movies. As a consequence, I cannot rent or buy movie DVDs, nor will any of the DVDs in my library work now. The DVD player in this Satellite is TSST SN-208AB.
    What happens is that when you put a movie DVD in the machine, the light goes on 4 times, but the DVD player never spins up and starts playing. In the explorer, the CD/DVD icon is there, but when you try to "open" the DVD player it never spins up and a green bar goes, very slowly, across the top of the window.
    The player has no trouble with audio CDs.
    I have spent about 10 hours on this problem now. What I have tried followed all of the standard "fixes" for this specific problem on this specific machine and the correct OS (Windows 7 Home Premium). None of the standard fixes fixed anything.
    In Brief :
    1. I uninstalled all programs which use the DVD player, except for the standard suite that came with the computer at time of purchase. Also, uninstalled all CODEC packages that were not part of the original suite.
    2. Uninstalled the CD/DVD device and driver, as instructed, and the device and driver were automatically reinstalled. Did a full power cycle (including removal of the battery). I've done this solution about 4 times.
    3. Looked in the registry for a possible filter driver issue. There was none.
    4. Used Microsoft "Fix It" program, which discovered "a problem" but had no description of the problem or a reference to a fix.
    5. Ran the device driver update check, toshiba service station check, microsoft update check. All files are up to date and the correct file.
    6. Ran system files check, HDD corruption check. No problems reported.
    Nothing done so far has moderated or altered the behavior in any way. Moreover, I have noted dozens and dozens of people on the internet in different forums with the same problem. What this means is that Toshiba is losing market share bigtime on this one.
    Any fix would be appreciated.

    Hi Sense no one has replied, I will offer my 2 cents. DVD drives wear out and they also get dirty. You could try to clean it with compressed air. DVD drives are fairly cheap and very easy to replace.
    Dokie!!

  • DVD Burner not working in Mac Mini

    My mac mini (running OSX 10.7.5) all of a sudden stopped burning/reading DVDs, however CD burning and reading still works.
    I ran my system's disk utility and corrected some problems and tried again to no avail. I tried a previously burned DVD which did not work either. However, after trying several DVDs, I got the burner to work (or at least it appeared to as it went thru the usual messages of recording my iDVD movie, but when the recording message showed DONE, the screen appeared to freeze there (typically, at this point, I usually get a message that asks if I want to burn another) --I was able to hit cancel to exit the program. Anyways, the DVD did not burn. At this point on the plus side, I can now read my previously burned DVD... so I tried again to burn my iDVD Movie again but it just spits out after 15-30 seconds.
    I saw on some boards that I should try cleaning the burner? Do I have to take my system apart to do this? Do I use a cleaning disk? If this is the case, will my DVD acknowledge it if it isn't working? Or do I just spray compressed air into its slot?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is for a job that I need to get out.
    Thanks so much!

    Yes use a CD/DVD cleaning disk

    It could be that the burning laser died. Different lasers are used for CD and DVD burning

  • DVD Menu not working right in DVD Players

    Hi All,
    I'm hoping you can help me. I'm using a Windows machine. I've created a video in Premiere CS5, dynamic linked it to Encore CS5 and created a Main Menu (with a button to play the whole video and a button to the sub menu) and Sub Menu for scene selection (Containing 9 scene buttons and back button). It works fine with the simulation Remote control buttons on Encore's Preview test.
    I have burnt the DVD and tested it in two DVD players one old and one new. The Main menu shows but I can't do anything else. It's animated but it pauses/freezes and them moves again, so it doesn't play smooth on either.
    On one DVD player occasionally it looks like you can select the up and down button on the DVD remote control to select the two buttons, but nothing happens when you press the remote Play Button.
    I've played it on my computer the menu selects fine with the mouse. The video however played for a few mins before it froze. But I'm not to concerned with the computer play. Just need it to work on DVD.
    I have clicking on the 'Show Button Routing' button in the Menu viewing window and NONE of the buttons left, right, up or down are set to 0. So if I'm right in believing the remote should be able to navigate around all the buttons. However, I'm not sure whether the Auto Routing is ticked somewhere as I can't find it. My gut feeling is that this isn't the problem as the menu does not play smoothly and is freezing on and off like it's malfunctioning.
    Any advice would be great. Many thanks,
    Eve

    Hi Stan,
    Many thanks for the reply.
    I always run in admin mode otherwise the DVD's don't burn at all.
    The animated buttons are on the next screen, 'scene selections'. Which I can't get to.
    The animations I was referring to are the swirls and film on the background they pause and freeze for a few seconds then play again as if the DVD is not being read properly.
    How would I turn off animated buttons anyway?
    Nothing happens with I press the Play button either so I can't go straight into the film.
    Thanks,
    Eve

  • Re: DVD drive not working on Equium A100

    I have a problem with my drive it has power but wont read or write, no it is not error code 39
    This happened when SP1 on Vista was installed it upset my chipset drivers.
    So I have uninstalled SP1 and tried to update BIOS but I get an error code on winphlash new BIOS part number doesn't match system BIOS part number.
    error code 120
    Cant find this error code anywhere?
    Anyone help?

    >but wont read or write
    Sorry but this statement is too general for me. You didnt write which medias you have tested. Original DVD movies or music CDs. Maybe some self created stuff.
    Please tell us more about this issue. As Silas already wrote it cannot be because of SP1.
    Have you tried to remove SP1 and check functionality?
    Friend of mine has Vista preinstalled Satellite A100-504 with SP1 and everything works well.
    Which Equium A100 do you have exactly?
    On download page there are listed three of them.
    Have you used right BIOS version? Which one you want to use?
    Please don't be mad on me but if you want to have some help please offer more information.
    If I inform car service about my problem I cannot say: I have BMW and motor don't want to start.
    They also want to know which model, which engine and so on. You know what I mean.

  • DVD reader not working

    I have recently bought a 20" flat panel iMac G4 1.25 it has all of the original ram as well-has not been upgraded. It has 10.4.11 installed on it and I am currently unable to read DVD movies on it. After I load the DVD in, it takes a few then it just ejects it. If I put a regular audio CD in it, it works perfectly.
    Also does anyone know what OS this originally shipped with? I seem to have better luck with 10.3. But I do like using my mighty mouse.
    Thanks in advance for you expertise!

    ok i tryed with the card and it actually improved the situation a bit so now the comp read the dvds but still not reading most of song's cd and installation disc.
    at the computer's shop there wasn't any cleaner-cd but they tried with the air and nothing changed.. i'm still oping of solving the situation with that cd (the card turn out grey from the slot O.O )  thanks for the help i was stuck in the idea of a software problem =)

  • DVD burner not working Error code 0x80020022 & 0x8002006E

    When I try to burn a DVD I get the following errors . (Error code 0x80020022) & (0x8002006E)
    When I put a dvd movie in it will show on the desktop and play in dvd Player.
    It will show a CD in the finder and will play it in the finder and in iTunes. iTunes is can also burn CD.
    I have brunt some dvds in the past month but it was hit and miss. Now I can not burn any dvds.
    I booted up my iMac from my MacBook when I go to burn the dvd I get the same error. So now I'm not to sure if it is a software issue. I have also done a restart while holding P & R "option & Apple" to reset the Pram.
    I'm going to erase the HD tonight and reinstall OS 10.5 to see if that fixes the problem.
    If there is anything more I can do please let me know. I dont mind replacing the Supper Drive but I dont want to spend the money if that is not going to fix the problem.

    I keep getting this code come up when i try to burn 0x80020022. My imac is 8 months old, and after looking on mac forums the only thing that seems to work is to go in and play around with the international system prefs. It will then burn a CD, although very slowly. A week later I go to burn a cd and this happens again! This surely can't be right with an 8 month old machine, and does this mean my DVD drive is going to die soon? I can't keep having to adjust the prefs every week.
    Does anybody have any answers?
    Cheers
