DVD Player (Won't inject DVD)

My DVD Player won't inject a movie I'm trying to watch. It was working okay a while ago, and i haven't dropped it or hurt it. HELP PLEASE!

Hi,
Download Imgburn and check your optical drive capabilities.  See the below image.
Check under Read and make sure that your opitcal drive has BD read capabilities.
Download the Cyberlink BD Advisor and use it to check to make sure your system passes for BD play.
Try one of the free PC Blu-Ray players available on the net.

  • DVD Player won't read DVD then crashes when trying to load VIDEO_TS folder

    I use DVD player for movies maybe once a week.
    I insert a DVD. It shows up on the dekstop as it should.
    Once in a while, if it's a video DVD, DVD player opens and it says, "this type of media is not supported" (or whatever the message is).
    I can open the DVD in the Finder and see the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders and anything else that may be on it.
    If I go to DVD PLayer and select File -> Open DVD Media, it crashes.
    I have to reboot to watch a DVD.
    I haven't been able to get it to do it when I want since it only happens after a week or so.

    Try this player:

  • DVD Player won't play some DVDs

    My DVD Player won't play certain DVDs. Presumably all commercial DVDs should be playable in the software. Fox discs are a problem. I can get Player to turn on, but after the menu, the screen flashes a reading error, from which it could not recover. Yesterday I tried to play a Paramount disc, and nothing happened. The computer didn't even acknowledge that there was a disc in the tray. A Wolfe Video wouldn't read at first (I got a dialogue box that the disc was blank) but I put it in again and that time it played.
    Also, on a side note, I would like future editions of DVD Player to add the feature of allowing the viewer the ability to go backwards a frame at a time, as well as forwards.

    Hi, Doug.
    This is starting to sound like a different problem. Your original report seemed to apply only to specific DVDs. Now it's with all DVDs. Before we get into how to reinstall DVD player, let's try a few other things that are more likely troublemakers with DVD Player.
    1. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
    2. Reset DVD Player. Peform all of the following steps before attempting to launch DVD Player again:2.1. Trash the com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist file in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. This file is the preferences file for DVD Player.
    2.2. Using Get Info, make sure you are the Owner and have Access of Read & Write on the following folders on your account:• Home > Library > Application Support.
    • Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player.
    • Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player > Settings.If not, correct the permissions accordingly using the Owner and Access pop-up menus in the Details sub-panel of the Ownership & Permissions panel of the folders' Get Info windows.
    2.3. Trash the contents of your Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player > Settings folder.3. If none of the above sorts it out, let's see what Console can tell us: After the problem occurs, make note of the time, then immediately check the ends of these Console logs for clues that may have been logged when the problem occurred.
    4. Note that none of the above rules out the possibility that your optical drive has become defective.4.1. Can you burn DVDs, e.g. even data DVDs from Finder?
    4.2. See if the freeware VLC Media Player (nee VideoLan Client) can play the DVDs.Good luck!

  • I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work.

    I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work and has this error:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
    Any ideas why iTunes renders my DVD drive unusable?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and when reinstalling I had my device manager open and saw during the installation how my DVD player went from accessible to not being able to start.
    Why is this happening? 
    Here is my computer information:
    Dell
    Latitude D630
    Intel Core  Duo CPU T770 @2.40 Hz
    4.00 GB RAM
    32-bit Operating System
    Thank you,
    Kelly

    There's a few different possibilities with a code 10, Kelly. To narrow in on the likeliest culprits it would help to have a closer look at your system.
    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:

  • My 10.6.8 macbook pro's DVD player won't play a movie from Netflix.  The DVD does play on a 10.5 mb pro.  So DVD is ok.  Message says "not permitted" when I click play.  Is there a compatibility issue? Or something else?

    Hello:
    This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
    When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

  • Dvd Player Won't Play Copies Of Or Self-Made DVDS

    Macbook Pro 2.5Ghz with 10.5.5, and DVD player 5.0.1. Dvd player will play commercial dvds, but not any that I or anyone else has made. The same ones will play in my Mac Pro with the same settings. I tried many, but the common denominator is that it will not play anything but commercial DVD's, when other computers and players will play the same disc. Wanted to check here before updating to 10.5.7. Any help is appreciated.

    I have been able to
    1. burn data and movie DVDs and CDs
    3. read CDs and DVDs rented from Netflix or Blockbuster, purchased DVDs,
    4. and read DVDs burned by a 2007 Quad G5 running the same OS!
    But the DVDs I burn with the drive DO NOT WORK in the same drive. The DVDs I burn DO work on a different a 1999 mac laptop. And on a 2007 Quad G5. The drive can read discs burned by the Quad G5.
    Also, when the DVD I burn finishes, and I'm prompted to "Mount" or "Eject" the finished disc, if I mount the disc, it works. It plays. The drive reads the disc. And if I choose "Eject" - if I re-insert the disc, the computer cannot read it and spits it out.
    Why should it be able to burn but not read the discs it burns??

  • IMac no longer recognizes my DVD player after upgrading to DVD Player 4.6

    Hi,
    Several days ago I upgraded to Tiger and then 2 days ago, through "software update" I upgraded to 10.4.3 and also upgraded to DVD Player 4.6
    I just discovered that my computer no longer sees the DVD player and an inserted DVD doesn't show up anywhere (when I check under "Hardware" and then "Disc Burning" under "About This Mac" it says "No burning device was found."
    I tried reinstalling the upgrade (DVD Player 4.6) but it says it can't because there's no valid DVD player in the system (my computer has a Superdrive and I've played and burned DVD's a plenty in the past several months).
    Any help/info will be GREATLY appreciated!!
    -Stephen

  • Will PAL dvd player play my NTSC DVD-r?

    I'm trying to figure out if I need to convert several NTSC dvd's into PAL format to send to a friend's mom in Israel (she's very sick and would like to see these soon).
    Since I've never converted between these formats, I've been doing lots of research and keep getting more confused. I downloaded JES Deinterlacer (i think thats what its called) but I'm not sure I need it since I read the following on an imovie FAQ website:
    "I have an NTSC project and want a PAL DVD.
    The good news is: You can just send an NTSC disc. Any PAL set top DVD player capable of playing DVD-R discs can also play NTSC discs. All that is needed is a fairly new TV, built in the last 8-10 years or so."
    Could this be true? Can I really just send the NTSC dvd's to her? I hate to waste time here...please help...
    Thanks so much in advance.
    Jenny

    That´s right; NTSC DVDs will always work on PAL players when the player is compliant to the DVD specs. Those players do give out the regular NTSC signal and/or convert to PAL60. Some players can even convert to PAL50. The problem is the TV set.
    My German TV is 14 years old and cannot handle PAL60 or NTSC; I would need one of those rare players that convert to PAL50 (usually with poor results).
    But NTSC DVDs will always work on a PC (when it is an all-region DVD).

  • I have had my mac book pro for about a year and a half and suddenly my dvd player will not play DVDs and i can not play alot of things on full screen. Does anybody know how i can fix this?

    I have had my mac book pro for about a year and a half and suddenly my dvd player will not play DVDs and i can not play alot of things on full screen. Does anybody know how i can fix this?

    This could be several things, but let's get the obvious ones out of the way, first:
    1. Judging from your text, there's no problem with anything stuck in the mechanism; it's more an issue of no being to put in a disk. In other words, you're sure that there isn't a disk stuck in your MBP. (That happens a lot for all computers.)
    2. Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, and repair the disk. This should take under 10 minutes.
    3. Perform the procedure outlined here:

    4. After you're done, leave a message here as to the status of the repair.

  • DVD Player Just stopped Playing DVDs

    Just today, the DVD player has stopped playing DVDs on my ibook. I tried putting in a multitude of diferent DVDs, but I always got the same result: the disc image would not appear in the desktop, and the DVD player would open, as if it were in standby, but it would not play. Any idea as to what may have happened/how I could remedy this?

    Hello,
    Follow these steps and you should be on your way to watching your DVD's:
    1) First, Quit DVD Player if open.
    2) Eject your DVD.
    2) Go to: Home > Library > Preferences.
    3) Find the file called: com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist and move it to the trash.
    4) Insert your DVD.
    5) If necessary, launch DVD Player.
    I hope this works!

  • TouchSmart 300 Dvd Player won't read or burn DVD

    My dvd player is not working correctly.  I am able read and burn CDs, but the player won't read or write DVDs.  I have a touchsmart 300 running Windows 7.  I was trying to burn some home movies in WMA format.  Movie Maker recognizes a blank DVD, and attempts to burn the DVD, but once it finishes, the disk is blank.  I then tried to just burn a MPG file using another software program and it failed at the validation stage.  Finally, I put a dvd movie in the drive and it wont recognize the disk.  These functions used to work fine.  The computer is only 15 months old, of course I only had a one year warranty.
    Is there anyway this could be related to software or is it a hardware problem?

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    If it still isn't working, try the following.
    Next, from 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.

  • DVD Player Won't Read Disks

    I'm using OS 10.4.3 and DVD Player 4.6. My dvd drive will not read pre-recorded disk or blamk disc.
    Could it be software related?
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Hi
    It would be helpful if you included the optical drive model info (from Apple System Profiler), and complete your Mac profile; there are 6 different G4 models. Include what type of blank media, and whether the drive holds but does not mount the media, or if it ejects it.
    applehistory.com can be helpful if you are unsure which flavour G4 you own.

  • Subtitles in Apple DVD player won't go away

    This is not a Tiger problem per se- more of an Apple DVD player problem. I couldn't find a forum for the DVD app. If I'm in the wrong place, I'd be happy to post in the proper place if someone could point me in the right direction.
    So I'm running os 10.4.7 on an 800 mhz iMac (flatscreen, "lamp" model), my version of the Apple DVD player is 4.6.5, framework version 4.6.6.
    Here's the problem- whenever I watch a movie (this seems to happen only with American DVDs), these QT/OS X looking (beautiful crisp white letters on a highly transparent smokey grey field) subtitles appear, they are independent of the subtitles invoked by the subtitle button in the player- I can toggle through all the languages, they work fine, but the QT/OS X looking subtitles never go away- I'll have two sets running simultaneously. (Or just the QT/OSX one, when I set subtitles to "off")
    While they are gorgeous and superior to the "other" set of subtitles (which I CAN control), in both visual appeal and intelligent placement, I would like to be able to turn them off.
    I thought a handicap access feature in the System Preferences might have been involved, but it doesn't seem so.
    Can someone help me turn this off? Incidentally, these phantom permanent subtitles weren't always here, though I can't really say when they appeared.
    Thanks in advance for the help,
    Nosloj2400

    Do you have "Closed Captioning" (DVD Player "Controls" menu) turned on? You may have turned it on accidentally via Option-Cmd-T.
