DVD player does not play my burned DVD

Hi all
I burned an imovie onto DVD and my Panasonic 5 disk console doesn't read it. It's about 5 years old. I was told that some older DVD players can't read the newer DVD-Rs? What to do?
How can I bypass this or do I need to buy a new player?
Thanks
web dude

Does the DVD play in other players or on other computers?
Try the following basic trouble shooting steps that are mentioned on many posts.
Save as a disk image
Burn disk image using Disk Utility at a slower speed (2x or 4x)

Use DVD-R (not +/-RW or +R)
Use Maxcell or Verbatim disks

DVD Player Does Not Play DVDs

I recently bought HBO DVDs and it does not play in my Apple system. I have an error that states, "this format is not supported" what is wrong? or codec issues?

Without going into a huge tirate about motive behind this from different companies. Just download this player and it should work for you.

ITunes player does not play songs since upgrading to 10.5.1; not fixed with 10.5.2 upgrade. What now?

After upgrading iTunes on my laptop to version 10.5.1, my player will NOT play any songs. My Library seems intact and no songs appear to be missing, but no song will play --not a song downloaded from iTunes Store, nor a song downloaded from a CD. I was hoping version 10.5.2 would fix this, but apparently not. Still not working. Songs do play on my iPod and on my iPhone and I can transfer songs from my laptop to my devices; I can also download Apps to my laptop through the iTunes Store, etc.--all other functions of iTunes seem to be okay, only the player is not working. (My laptop is an hp Probook with Intel i5 chip, Windows 7 Pro OS.)

Does it look like the song is playing at the top of iTunes? Can you see the timer moving?
Also, make sure the volume slider isn't all the way to the left (mute).

Arturia The Player does not play note E1

I bought the Arturia Player USB controller. The problem is that it does not play note E1 in Logic. In all the other DAW's there's no problem.

Open your Controller Assignments window (cmd-K), select the message assigned to the E1 note and delete it.

Windows Media Player does not play Streaming me

After installing All the Software for Audigy 2ZS Platinum. My Windows Media Player will not play any video streams from MSN or Yahoo. Is there any known conflict with any of the software or how can I make the software compatible with WMP v0 windows XP.

Hi,
Try the following to force Windows Media Player to re-build the Library Database.
A useful utility for viewing all the files on your PC is called Free Commander, on the link below, as it displays folders that the Operating System normally hides and has a good search function.
http://www.snapfiles.com/php/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10
This is a zipped file. If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
Make sure Windows Media Player and Windows Media Centre are closed.
Launch Free Commander, double click Users, double click 'your user name', double click Local Settings, double click Application Data, double click Microsoft and double click Media Player. Delete all the files that have the extension .wmdb - do not delete any folders.
Close Free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now begin to re-build the library database which may take a while, but when it has finished see if the movie files play Ok now.
Regards,
DP-K

DVD Player does not play a DVD

My DVD player can play commercial DVD without any problem.
I use a DVD Video Recorder to burn a DVD. I finalised it confirmed it can be played in my Windows PC PowerDVD version 6 OEM edition.
When I put it in my PBG4 superdrive, the DVD Player could be launched automatically. However, it says "Supported Disc Not Available". Checked Disc Region is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and my Drive is in Region 3 with 4 changes left.
Any idea?
PowerBook G4 1.5GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) DVD Player App version 4.6.5, Framework version 4.6.6

If you burned a DVD-RW, the DVD Player might not recognize it. In this case, use a different brand of DVD-RW or a DVD-R disk.

DVD player does not play - Error message "Create Overlay Failed

Can anyone please help. The player on my Equium does not playback any DVDs using either InterVideo WinDVD. Error message "Create Overlay Failed ... Please lower your screen resolution or screen depth." Any help appreciated. Thanks Owen

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of VLC Player. I had no idea what VLC is but it seems a safe (and free) feature. I googled it and downloaded latest version for XP. All DVDs now play perfectly! Still no joy with other players but who cares. Many thanks, full marks. Owen

Video in Flash player does not play in C6

I have purchased Nokia C6-00, but in this phone videos do not play in Flash player. It gives me warning message that flash player required to play this video. On flash player site, it is mentioned that android 2.2 is required to install Flash player on your mobile.
How is it possible to play video in flash player on Nokia C6-00?

Symbian anna (new software version) update is available for C6-01 and C7 but there is no software update for C6-00 (with QWERTY keypad).
I am eagrly waiting for software update for C6-00. At least to provide support of FLASH LITE 4.0 so that flash video can be played on C6-00 handset.
I am facing one more problem with Skype utility on C6-00. I have installed latest Skype version on my mobile but even with 3.5G network speed, Skype login does not work.
When ever I sign-in on Skype, it will become idle in between signing process and nothing is happened and after frustration I have to close Skype application.

Quicktime 7.3.1 Player, Does not play movies locally on Vista.

Interesting and frustrating problem. My QT player plays movies from web browser but will not play them locally. Windows Vista Business, 32 bit OS, QT pro will play the first 5 to 9 seconds of a movie then hang the system. Then I can not shut down QT player, without Ctrl, Alt Del. Local .mov files I am trying to play are only 4 to 15 MB. Is this an issue with Vista? Or the latest QT player? Or is it the latest Direct X? Or is it the latest driver update for my video card ATI Fire GL V7200 - the latest catalyst control center SW? All drivers and SW have been recently updated to latest. I tried changing the Advanced Video settings in the QT player, "Safe Mode GDI only" vs Direct X settings? Nothing changes the fact that I just can NOT play any .mov movies locally. I'm calling Adobe tomorrow. Am I the only here with these problems?

+I was just wondering if perhaps the RAID was affecting it somehow? My system is setup to store all Files on a data partition with Raid 1 setup.+
Older versions of the Intel Matrix Storage Managers (and associated drivers) could cause similar issues in RAID setups. Seen a few of them fixed by upgrading them.
However, having taken a look at your dowwnloads page for the wx8400, it's not clear to me whether or not you've got an Intel Matrix on the PC.
... One thing that did come up was the following document:
HP xw4400, xw6400, xw8400 Workstations, and HP Proliant xw460c Blade Workstation - SYSTEM BIOS UPGRADE REQUIRED; Certain Intel Processors May Cause Unpredictable System Behavior
So it may be worth checking to see if your BIOS is up to date, first.
Here's a link through to the relevant xw8400 downloads page:
Download drivers and software: HP xw8400 Workstation (Vista 32-bit)
Was your BIOS at 2.18 or higher? If not, does an upgrade assist with the QuickTime behavior?
+Not sure what readyboost is?+
With regard to the readyboost matter, the discussion in the following document might be of some assistance:

I have a problem with windows media player does not play audio and it does not rip cds is a gateway windows 7

winwows media player its not respondig and dont play audio

Why are you asking your Windows question in an Apple forum?

I am having trouble with all websites that have the embedded Windows Media Player. If I go to a page with a Webcam that is using Windows Mwdia, the player does not play or even show up. Any ideas?

With all my other browsers, thia is not an issue including Firefox 3.6. For example, this page http://www.liveduvalstreet.com/ will display fine in every browser except Firefox 4. Because of that issue, I reverrted back to 3.6 until I can find a fix. I have tested this page in Chrome, Maxthon 2 and 3, Internet explorer 8 and Firefox 3.6 with no issues at all. This is just an example site. All sites with the embedded player will not work.

Thanks a million! Thatr did the trick. I had an older versiuon of the plug in installed as well.

Dvd player does not play dvd disc

I've had this brand new iMac for almost 10 months. Every time I put in a dvd, click on play and "Supported disc not available" would be shown on the screen. It's very frustrated. But one time I took it to an Apple store to check, an Apple worker put in a Disney's dvd and it worked fine. I brought it home and have tried to play mine. Again, it says the same thing. I cannot even eject the disc form that small dvd player window. I can only eject it from the key board. I have "Window XP" loaded in this iMac. I wonder if the Window XP has created problem for it. Any suggestion to help solve this probem will be greatly appreciated. (Certainly, I can bring it back to Apple store again with my disc but it's a big job because the nearest store is hour and half away.)
(The operating Syetem below I chose is not necessary correct. All I know is it's OS X)

Is XP running under Boot Camp?
See if this plays them...
