Playing DVD+RW discs in DVD-Rom drive

I've got a Toshiba SD-M1222 DVD-rom drive. I recently bought a new separate domestic DVD+RW machine.
Discs recorded on the DVD+RW play back no problem in my other domestic DVD players, but when I try to play them in my DVD-Rom on the PC, I get a 'disc not recognised' message, even though I have set the recording up to be compatible with other players.
Is there a way I can get DVD+RW discs to play on this DVD-Rom drive?

Hi
Sorry but there is no way to change it. Those are two different formats. I have the same situation with my Satellite.
If you want to have more information about DVD formats google a little bit around.
Bye

  • Compatible blank DVD-R9 Disc for DVD Brenner on HP DV7-3190EG

    i just bought this jumbo, quite satisfying but those new Intel icore processors getting warm a little bit too faster. but my real problem is compatible DVD-R9 blank disc to burn lage amount of data. i've tried a bunch of them without success. 
    do you guys have exprerienced such problems when burning???
    i'll be really happy if i could finally burn from my Laptop, not always from my old Desktop PC.

    UPDATE: After hours of searching and reviewing this problem, it appears it may be due to third party burning programs, however this poses another problem. My laptop came with Roxi EMC 8 which i removed some time ago, it appears using other third party burning software causes comfilcts which may be causing my problem. I contacted Roxio but they have taken the "we are not able to help" stance due to the software being an OEM and came with teh laptop and they say I need to contact HP, which i obviously have with no success so far. Due to me removing Roxio and not having a disc to reinstall Roxio to see if this corrects the problem (and at this point i would just use the Roxio software reluctantly just so i can have my laptop back) I am stuck and it appears no one knows anything on how to fix it, Roxio will not help but I am hoping HP will since according to Roxio, this needs to be supported through HP. HP, can you please help me, i cannot use my CD/DVD drive most of the time and it appears you are my only hope. Here is what i got from the Roxio website about how it needs to be handled by the manufacturer, in this case HP: "If you have an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) version of Roxio software, please note that it is supported by the vendor that bundled or installed the Roxio product with their hardware or software. For more information about OEM support policies, please read the article What is OEM software? " Please help HP, you have to have an answer to this, is there a place I can download the Roxio software that came with my laptop or is there a Roxio Uninstaller that would completely remove the program as there are bits still threre, my laptop is a HP DV7-1245dx. please help.........

  • How to play dvd-audio or dvd-a discs on iMac?

    How do I go about playing dvd-audio encoded discs on my iMac? I have been unsuccessful in finding a decoder that will recognize this format. I don't want to invest in ripper software unless I KNOW it will read and convert this format. Many thanks.

    I can play my DVD Audio discs on my MacBook Pro. On all my DVD Audio discs it shows DVD Audio and Dolby Digital. When I insert a DVD Audio disc the DVD player opens and plays the disc. Rou will only get Dolby Digital sound quality though and not DVD Audio sound quality.

  • Satellite A660 DVD/CD-ROM drive does not detect discs

    Hi there,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 with a MAT****A BD-CMB UJ141ES DVD/CD-ROM drive. It is about 18 months old and recently I have noticed that it does not recognise any CDs/DVDs. It makes a couple of noises once inserted but then stops spinning and nothing happens or changes in My Computer view.
    Please note there seems to be no apparent problems with the drive:
    - It is present in My Computer
    - The device is working properly in device manager
    Things I have already tried:
    - Run Microsoft FixIt and CD-ROM/DVD Troubleshooter - both said it could not recognise media
    - Deleted upper filter in the registry as per many suggestions (no lower filter present)
    - Updated driver
    I don't know what else to do. Please help as this is frustrating for a relatively new notebook which never is moved from my desk (don't expect many damaged parts).
    Cheers

    As I said: clean the laser lens
    If you open the CD/DVD drive you will see the small laser lens.
    Use cotton wool tip and alcohol

    Dont know any

  • Using the DVD-Rom drive renders MBP almost useless

    Under Windows XP Pro on my 2.2 MBP, while accessing the DVD-Rom drive for anything (browsing directories, installing something, playing/burning a DVD or ripping a CD) the computer cannot playback audio. It comes out so skippy and jumpy that you cannot recognise speech. It slows down typing input, mouse movement, and makes video playback skippy. It also hangs up my soundcard (M-Audio Firewire 410), and I have to restart the computer to get sound to work again. I have installed the Bootcamp 2.0 drivers from the Leopard disc.
    Does anyone else have this problem, and have you found any way to fix it? Thank you.

    Anyone?

    The dvd-rom drive will not read any type of dvd or cd.

    This Sony dvd rom was installed (by someone else) and replaced the dvd rom that initially came with the Dell E310.  
    Where can I find driver files for this dvd rom?
    Thanks,

    Hello Denise,
    Welcome to the Sony Community.
    All of the Sony internal optical drives are plug & play with Windows so no drivers are required for detection in your PC. If you are having issues getting your drive detected then please try the following:
    • Ensure the Sony drive is set as a secondary master by itself. If you have another disc burner or a zip drive on the same IDE cable, please separate them.
    • Ensure you have the latest Service pack for your Windows operating system and any other updates for your system installed.
    service, storage support email
    • Please remove your secondary IDE channel from the Device Manager.
    If the issue is still not resolved, service may be required. You may contact the Sony Storage support team by e-mail at: [email protected] for further information.
    Thank you for your post.

  • DVD-Rom drive in Satellite C655-S5128 not working properly in Windows 8

    I recently upgraded my system from Windows 7 to Windows 8. However, the DVD-Rom drive after the upgrade no longer works properly -- it now treats the pre-recorded disk as if it was completely blank. I tried reinstalling the Toshiba Disc Creator, but that did not work.
    Any solution?

    You apparently did not use the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant in upgrading to Windows 8.  See HERE for DVD and Disk Creator problems occurring during the upgrade and solutions.

  • DVD drive doesnt read DVD-R discs on Mac G4/350 AGP?

    Hi,
    I noticed that my DVD-ROM drive can read a DVD+R and CD-R disc just fine, but when I stick in a DVD-R disc, it just ejects it. I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.
    Is this normal that the DVD-ROM drive can only read in DVD+R discs? The Apple Spec page doesnt say much about this.
    Andrew

    Hi-
    Try downloading and installing the Patchburn Utility. It might help your media reading. I assume this is a disk that someone burned? Could be your drive doesn't like the media, itself, or the burn speed was too high for your 5x DVD=ROM to read.
    If Patchburn doesn't help, may be time to move up to a more modern drive to replace your antique.....
    There is a real nice,Pioneer DVR-112 replacement you might consider.

  • Drive plays CD's but not DVD's

    I have a HP 4520s with a hp CDDVDW TS-L633N, the drive will not play a DVD or a PC DVD Rom Game but will play a CD, I have checked regional settings and checked the drivers and updates, the device manager says the drive is working corectly, the movies and PC DVD Rom game used work in the other computer I tried. Is the drive on it's way out or is there something I have missed? Thanks.

    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 a problem with my pavilion dv4-2045dx dvd/cd rom drive for windows 7 64-bit

    I can play CD's and watch dvd movies fine.  The drive have no problem reading cd and DVD's.  My problem is with cd-rom and blank CD's and DVD's.  I can't burn anything.  For some reason, it won't read any cd-rom disks.  This has never been a problem before.  I tried the idea about the upper and lower filters but when I searched, I didn't see any upper or lower filters.  I tried the microsoft fix it and nothing was wrong.  I looked at the device manager and it shows no problem at all.  What should I do next?

    Hi, did you say this issue just started?
    If so have you tried a system restore back to date when it was working?
    Here is a link to a document on running a system restore...this is not like a recovery, it won't wipe out all your data

  • Can the Mac mini's Super Drive (Early 2006) *read* DVD-R discs?

    I made a back-up of a movie and burned it on to a DVD-R. I took the burned DVD and popped into my DVD player in the living room and it played just fine. I then put the burned DVD back into my mini, DVD Player.app opened and when I clicked play said the disc was invalid/unsupported (I’m not in front of my mini so don’t have the exact wording of the error). The DVD never even mounts on my desktop or Finder side bar. I went back and referenced the tech specs for my model and it reads:
    Slot-loading SuperDrive with double-layer support (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
    That just seems strange that it would burn to a DVD-R with no problem, but then not be able to read it.
    I’ve put other DVD-R’s in the drive to test and the same thing. I had a back-up copy of my iPhoto library that I burned on my PowerBook on a DVD-R and this disc never mounted. I can only push the eject key on my keyboard to get the DVD out.

    I think I found my answer over at 123macmini.com
    Slot-loading SuperDrive with double-layer support (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW):
    writes DVD+R DL discs at up to 2.4x speed,
    writes DVD-R and DVD+R discs at up to 8x speed,
    writes DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs at up to 4x speed,
    reads DVDs at up to 8x speed,
    writes CD-R discs at up to 24x speed,
    writes CD-RW discs at up to 16x speed,
    reads CDs at up to 24x speed

  • CD-rw/DVD rom drive problem

    I am using IBM T43 type 1871 laptop. The problem is with my CD drive. It automatically ejects out  every time it wants to.
    The same won't happen if I put some CD in the drive. But the CD won't play properly as the system shows the autoplay often and in "my computer " the drive is shown blank for some time and after the autoplay the CD name would be given...
    Is it the problem with software or hardware???
    Can it be solved if I buy a new DVD drive or use an external??
    Now I've removed the drive in order to evade this problem...
    Please help me???

    Hello,
    I am assuming your ThinkPad T43 has a DVD±RW disc drive.  Is that correct? 
    If so, can it read stamped (manufactured) CDs and DVDs?  If it can, than the problem may be with reading the recordable CDs or DVDs that you are using.  If not, than the problem could be a software one (i.e., related to the operating system) or a hardware one.
    If you have a bootable CD or DVD, try configuring the ThinkPad to first boot from the DVD drive, and then attempt to boot from the disc.  If that works, than you are likely dealing with a software problem.  If the ThinkPad doesn't recognize the disc even at bootup, then the problem is likely with the DVD drive and it will need to be replaced.

  • CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive reads DVD's but spits out CD's

    Hi,
    The CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive of my Titanium Pawoerbook doesn't read CD's anymore; it makes funny noises and spits any CD's out again. Funny thing is that I don't have any problems reading DVD's.
    Is there anything I could do to fix this problem?
    Thanks for any advice!
    Malte

    Try using a DVD drive cleaning disc first. Available in most PC shops.My Ti's Superdrive goes through phases of having a bad day making ugly cluncking noises and spitting discs out but the next day works just fine...

  • CDRW/DVD Rom drive disabled by Panther

    Looks like same problem as dozens of others, but no answers. After upgrading to 10.3.9 the Sony CRX820E is hiding. Toast titanium says "no CD Recorder found" CD's show up in finder but not DVD's. (it is a DVD Rom drive)
    Anyone find a fix for this recurring problem or do we just write it off to "progress"?

    The entire computer is 6 years old almost 7, and it worked fine until recently.
    Maybe its to do with the new power supply I put in, I put a 750 watt power supply in to replace my 250 watt, because I recently got a new graphics card.
    the power supply is plugged in correctly, and my system tells me the drive is there, it just won't read DVD discs.
    I'll give a run down of how putting the new power supply in went:
    1) I found out that the plug I would need for my floppy drive was required by my new graphics card, so I took the IDE cable out of the Floppy drive and motherboard, and plugged the power supplies plug into the graphics card.
    2) After a problem with my computer not being able to find either the DVD Writer or CD drives, I found the problem was a loose IDE cable, which I promptly put back in place, then my computer was able to find the drives.
    3) Afterwards I changed my BIOS a little, I changed it so it wouldn't try to find a Floppy drive, and changed the sequence of booting the system from having the floppy drive boot first to the DVD/CD drives boot first.
    4) I started up my system and popped in a disc for a game, 3 different times the drive refused to work, 3 different times I found a solution that got it to read the disc, then afterwards if I put a different disc in it wouldn't work, and the fix wouldn't work a second time.
    I hope this helps answer me, but here is another question. Can a device be plugged in to any IDE port on the motherboard? If so, is it possible using the IDE cable to plug the DVD drive into the port the Floppy drive was plugged into might help?
