Problems Playing DVD Au

Hi There,
I've just got an Audigy 2 ZS for my setup and I'm having problems when playing DVD Audio.
The track will play perfectly fine for a few seconds, and then there will be some sqeaking/funny sound and the HDD light will light up...the position in seconds of the DVD audio player will also halt..until the track sound continues to play again, and the seconds will continue counting
this does lead to crashing of my system and it is the same for both the DVD audio disc, and when playing the sample DVD Audio file on the welcome menu
There are no problems with playback of AudioCD's, mp3's and no problems during a short test on World of Warcraft.
Has anyone experienced the same problems or know any work arounds? I have reinstalled the drivers on the cd twice already
my setup is Athlon XP 2700+
Asus A7N8X-E Nforce2
GB Geil Ultra Platinum PC3200
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro

I have concluded that the creative software just plain sucks. It doesn't buffer correctly, but other programs do. I tried Intervideo WinDVD 6.0 and it's handling it beautifully. AT 96Khz 24-bit as well! Not a single hiccup. If you have dri'ves that are fast enough, and the cards that support it . . .
I doubt it's your computer, but just that the creative DVD audio player isn't written well enough to either support the hardware you have . . . or to work at all! (I wouldn't know if it works, because I haven't seen it work, but you'd think it would, or they would have fixed it.)
So, if you're dying to hear the DVD audio, I'd say try out some other software DVD players, see what they can do for you.
and I would challenge Creative to fix this problem! Don't advertise a feature, and then not fully implement it! (true, the driver interface is there, but giving us crap software is worse than not giving software at all. We'll think it won't ever work, even if it does!)

Amen Brother,
I'm having the same problems. I've downloaded the installations and applications CD three times. I've tried the SID72 twice. Another freaky problem I'm having is the Creative Diagnostics screen won't show me or give me access to the next button or if I click diagnose it takes me to the next screen and says to click on the start test button...but guess what? There is ne f'in click next button! If anyone out there have an answer please drop me a line. What ever happened to plug and play?

  • Color problems playing DVD on DRU840A Burner

    Installed DRU840A in a Dell 8200. Can read & write DVD data discs OK.  Same for music cd's. But playing DVD produces checkerboard coloror red & green and basically a B&W image.  No problems in Device Manager. Set as Cable Select for my system.

    Hello Norway,
    Check if the same issue persists while playing back the DVD using different Video playback software and by playing different DVDs.

  • Problems playing DVD in Apple DVD player

    Hi guys. I am having some trouble with a DL DVD I burned in DVD SP 4.1.0. The DVD plays correctly everywhere (set tops and computers) except when using the Apple DVD player 4.0 (I think that's the version that came with OS 10.3.9.). I have a newer version of the player on my system and everything works fine but when I send the disk out for testing, it comes back with a ton of errors when played on an older version of the Apple DVD player - buttons not working properly, video tracks not followng the end jump, menus not linking, etc.
    Is this a known issue between DVD SP 4.1 and Apple DVD player 4.0 (or DL disks and Apple DVD 4.0)? What should I do about this? I've burned DL disks in DVD SP 2.0 before without any problems. I just recently upgraded to 4.1 and now am having this issue. If I maybe use Roxio to burn the disk would that help? Anyone have any experience with this issue? Thanks?

    If I maybe use Roxio to burn the disk would that help?
    I personally think it would.
    I always use Toast to burn discs
    Past experience has shown that when DVDSP has burned the discs they often had errors, the same projects burned using Toast produced faultless results
    I now author in DVDSP, building the VIDEO_TS folders to the hard drive, then burn these to disc using Toast.

  • Problem playing DVD on TV

    I burnt my project to a file.  This resulted in 2 folders being created. 
    Open DVD  (file folder 12.8mb)
    Video_TS    (file folder 4.19GB)
    I then burnt this onto a DVD
    The DVD plays on my PC as soon as I load it. However when I try to play on DVD player The 2 folders appear on the TV screen and I can not get the DVD to play. 
    I hope this is a common problem with an easy answer.

    Pankaj... You are in the Premiere Elements forum, which is an all in one product that is MUCH lower cost than the Premiere Pro + Encore bundle
    Someone who has Premiere Elements is not likely to have Encore
    Now... to the OP (Original Poster)
    Create a folder on your hard drive with Premiere Elements and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write that folder to disc (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
    Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
    When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the slowest possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
    Use Taiyo Yuden single layer or Verbatim Two layer
    Or Falcon Pro for inkjet printable Two layer

  • Problem Playing DVD Movies Via Superdrive

    Hey all,
    This has been a random issue which has just started for me, and I can't figure out what to do. Basically I was conerting DVD movies I had bought to versions I could play on my Video iPod. Everything was going fine, and then all of a sudden, issues began when I popped in a DVD.
    Issues:
    1) Could hear the Superdrive making noises as if it was having problems reading the DVD
    2) As a check, tried watching the DVD via DVD Player, and the movie was barely playing---only playing a few seconds at a time, pausing and then playing **all the while the dvd drive was making the noise**
    Checks:
    I ejected the DVD. Thinking the DVD was scratched, I put in a DVD that had worked earlier. Unfortunately, this DVD had the same issues!
    Restarted the computer **in hopes this would clear something up**, but the issue remained.
    Now, I am up to date w/ Software Update. Everything else seems to be fine. Any ideas? I've had this laptop for about 2years. It is a 1.83GHz MacBook Pro with Mac OSX 10.4.10.
    Any help/suggestions is appreciated. **I really hope the drive isn't already fried---its only 2years old**

    i have this exact problem, and i just saw a co-worker's MBP do this.
    i've been told this could be the result of a recent firmware upgrade.
    it sounds like an epidemic to me, and i'm hoping apple comes up with a fix. my MBP's superdrive is currently unusable.

  • Problem playing DVD with FrontRow

    Hi, watched my first DVD (regular DVD, no rip) with Front Row. Two problems:
    - There was an incredible delay when I tried to use the infrared remote during the movie. Turning down the volume took the imac about two minutes to process the request.
    - At the end of the movie the computer froze up partially. I still could play/pause the movie via FrontRow but could not exit front row or switch to another application.
    (The only other application running on the iMac during that time was iTunes, idling).
    Any ideas? Alex

    Come on CL at least say some thing you wanted us to pay for shipping of a bad product you can at least say your working on it or dont care?Im starting to wonder if some one new? for sound would be better at least with there support it would be nice to have fully functing software ?with out having to us other peoples hacks to make it work. So say something before you lose all your customers do to lake of support?Message Edited by kww9825 on 07-25-200708:5 AM

  • Problem playing DVD

    I have an instructional DVD that generates some errors when playing in my MacBook Pro. It plays fine on another machine, so I borrowed an external drive and burned a copy on my MBP.
    Although I had to start it manually, the copy played fine for a while, but now it is a few months later, and when I try to play the copy I get repeated Media Not Supported messages, each time followed by the Start Over or Last Time dialogue. Then it will play just the audio.
    If I keep trying, eventually it will mount (as name.cdr) and play, and once started it will play fine until I exit the DVD Player. Usually what happens is that I keep trying to open files on the copy until the DVD player crashes, and when it restarts the player it all works fine.
    I'm a little fuzzy on the differences between the original DVD and the copy, and the correct procedure to start up the copy. But I don't understand why it is so much harder to get it going now than before.
    Any suggestions?

    Resn8tor wrote:
    I'll confess it has been long enough I don't recall how I made the copy. What is the proper way to do this?
    Note that the original DVD only had playback errors on the internal drive; it played without problems using an external drive, and this is the one I used as the source for the copy.
    I just inserted a DVD and looked at it from a terminal and this is all it shows
    dr-xr-xr-x 4 nero nero 136 Sep 26 2003 Scrooge Color
    No extension, just the name - and the DVD looks like a directory.
    I have not used the built-in copier in a while - I use Toast which simply has a copy DVD mode.
    Insert original DVD and select Copy. It makes a clone of the DVD. Naturally it cannot be protected.
    DVDs are special in that they contain two folders - a video and an audio (which is rarely used) and if the Video_TS folder is not there or something is improper, it will not self-start. Inside the video folder are VOB files which are playable on their own, but the entire structure is complex if the DVD is to play normally.
    Again, I think you essentially made a copy of the DVD as if it were a data DVD rather than a movie DVD.
    If you use the built-in burner after making the image copy, there should be a burn option that has no extension, but is merely a copy of the original DVD which also has no extension. I switched to Toast because it works much more intuitively and never fails.

  • Problem Playing DVD after I build it?

    When I preview everything works great. When check project there is no problems or errors. There is no errors when it build the DVD. When it is done building the DVD, I put the DVD back in to make sure it works and nothing happens, the DVD dosen't even show up on my mac! Can someone help me?

    Does the Mac play other DVDs? What happens if you try the DVD in a regular DVD player (not a computer)? What kind of media?
    Thanks

  • Radeon 9200 Problems Playing DVD

    I am tryring to play a commercial Hollywood Video, Steven Segals Under Siege. It is playing just fine right now in my G3 Laptop and used to play just fine in my G4.
    About 10 days ago I installed a Radeon 9200 ATI Card in my G4 in order to run my new 23 inch Apple Cinema Display.
    Today I tried to play the Under Siege DVD in my G4. It plays for about 15 or 20 minutes then the computer screen goes black and the computer is frozen. I have to hit the reset button on the front of the computer.
    I tried this 5 different times using Apples DVD Player Version 4.6.5. Same result. I then tried it using MPlayer & VLC Movie Player both of which I downloaded from Version Tracker. Same result. Freeze up & Crash.
    Now all of the above happens when I am viewing the DVD with about a 6 inch screen. As I said I can get about 15 or 20 minutes then the freeze and crash.
    But, if I set it to full screen, which I did with all 3 DVD players described above, it only takes about 5 minutes to freeze and crash.
    Same thing happens when I try to play a Movie in Windows Media Player or Quicktime or Real Player at Full Screen Size. As long as I keep the size below about 6 inches it works. But when I try to go full screen size the Screen goes Black and the computer is running, I can hear it, but it will not respond to any key or movement of the mouse or to Escape. Must hit Reset Button.
    I am thinking that this Radeon Card is the culprit. What do you think?
    I know the Apple DVD Player works just fine as I am watching the Segal DVD on my laptop as I type this.
    My computer works fine in every other way. Safari, Microsoft Word, Entourage, everything except playing the DVD or using a screen saver such as the Apple Beach Picture. Same Crash happens when I use it or any other large photo that covers entire 23 inch screen.
    Thanks for your help. Bob

    Any MP3's I have playing in iTunes still play, Movie sounds can still be heard, I can move my mouse and when hitting command-Q a few seconds later I'll get the spinning beach ball for a while, which will then go back to the arrow. I can remotely log into my system from my windows machine and I tried to kill the running processes which didn't work. I than usually have to do a Reset by way of the button on the front (can hold the powerbutton and have it shut down too.)
    I can't go back to my old Vid card cause than i couldn't use my spiffy LCD.
    any help would be appreciated.

  • Problems playing DVD with DVD player

    I have my original superdrive. Today, we were playing a DVD we had burned with iDVD. It was playing just fine until it got to a certain point and then it kept freezing up. I got an error message stating: DVD Player encountered an error it could not recover from. There was an error reading from the disc. It might be scratched or dirty. [-36] But, the disc is not dirty and it plays just fine in my son's computer. I have used a Maxll Lens Cleaner a half dozen times and it still hangs up when it gets to this point on the DVD. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can solve this problem?????

    Defects on/in DVDs can be unseen by the eye but the
    drive's laser can have problems reading the "bad"
    areas. I've seen this problem from Mac to Mac (or
    PC). What about other discs? Same problem?
    Regards,
    Yes, same thing with another disc the other day, just I was told that it was a defective disc. But, considering the same thing happened today with another disc and the disc plays just fine in my son's emac, I think the problem is my super drive.

  • Problems playing DVD's burned with Encore 2.0...

    About 4 months ago, I burned a 4-DVD set for a client of mine... I authored them all in Encore 2.0 and everyone was happy with it (or so I thought)... But today I got a call from them and they said that their end-users are having trouble playing them in set-top boxes and that they either don't play and/or kick out at the 20-minute mark.
    I have watched these all the way through on both my computer AND my set-top box (although my DVD is pretty new and plays everything - including .divx files on a CD-R, etc...) I asked him to look into it, get more details and get back to me. However in the meantime I would like to somehow verify that these are indeed error-free dvd's. By the way, they started duping on DVD+R and switched to DVD-R at some point (even though I told them DVD-R for highest compatibility to begin with), but they are having problems with both...
    My main question is this:
    Is there a program available that will run a test on a DVD's file structure, etc and verify it's a good clean "compatible" DVD?
    I do realize that older player especially will not play some "burned " DVD's, etc... But I want to verify the problem is not on my end. I do not see a way that Encore would make a non-compliant disc... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    -BChil

    So, AC3 is compatible with older players and even smaller. Great, I did not realize that. If I have to re-author I will certainly do that.
    Luckily I still have the finished AVI files and the Encore project files. But I most likely erased the whole DVD project folder. Is there any way to re-call the DVD project with only the .ncor file? I know I have tried in the past and have not been able to. I would like these new DVD's to have the same exact look as the previously authored ones...
    Now that I think about it, I never set anything. I exported to AVI's and let Encore maximize the bit rates to fit it all on a 4.7 gig DVD-R. (i authored 9 hours of footage to 4 DVD's with - one was over 2 hours long - this was against my recommendation by the way...) I haven't used Encore since September so am a little rusty. Where do I set the guidelines for the auto maximize option? (i.e. I still want to maximize the DVD but using .AC3 for audio and limit maximum bitrate to 7000 kbps...)
    Thanks!

  • PROBLEMS PLAYING DVDS ON POWERBOOK

    HI. I have a g3 powerbook firewire 400mhz. I have os 10.2.8 and when put in a dvd it launches the screen and either it plays a dvd, or it just doesn't do anything. I don't know what's wrong. i tried two dvds. one worked till the 4th chapter and then when I went to the 5th chapter it wouldn't go , it froze, then i put in another dvd and DVD player launched and it didn't work at all. I also tried these dvds in CLASSIC moded with dvd player 2.2. and 1 worked fine, the other still didn't go past the 4th chapter. CAN SOMEONE HELP

    In addition to jpl's advise here is a little more that might help.
    Media.Media.Media.
    The problem is multi-dimensional.
    First check in your particular profiler on EXACTLY what type(FORMAT) of DISK's your burner will burn.
    Next please do not just randomly go out and buy a spool of 30 50 or 100 disc's because they are on sale.
    There is a HUGE difference in the type format disc's you buy
    There is also a HUGE difference in the BRAND you choose, some are junk.
    There is also a HUGE Difference in the SPEED of the media you choose.
    If any one or a combination of any of the 3 mentioned above can cause burn error's or no burn at all or spit the disk out.
    So it is a good idea to do a little homework on your Optical Drive and see just exactly what it is capable of and what it will use for media.
    (ONE LAST NOTE)
    Many of the Media Manufactures are becomming aware that many of the Apple Burners are having trouble with there Media. Maxell has just come out with a brand new one that is. Maxell 16X DVD-R.
    The key is read the packaging. this new media tells you that it will burn at any speed from 1X through 16X, and it works very well on the older Optical Drives. I also opt to use the individual that include the cases there seems to be much better quality, not like that of the spools.
    Remember Apples Drives to date are much pickier than those used in the PC community.
    Apple uses different Optical Drives and they will not play the different Media's consistantly. If you find one that works use it.
    Cheers Don

  • I've recently downloaded Lion and have a problem playing DVD's.

    Since I've up graded to Lion I'm finding that the Audio content is out of sync on DVD's that I've played.
    Does anyone know what I can do to correct it?

    Yes the DVD was fine. I tried it in a different device and it worked as it should. Everything points to the recent upgrade.
    Incidently, when I was downloading the Lion an error message came up and I had to restart the computer. After that it downloaded after a large amount of time. Since then though my Mac Mini has been working really slowly.

  • Problems Playing Dvds

    i have a powermac g4 450 that has a owc g4 1ghz cpu upgrade and a radeon 9000 pro 128mb video card,when i first upgraded my powermac could play backed up dvds i sold this pm then bought it back and i did a clean install of panther and installed the radeon drivers and now i notice that the backed up dvds i made play for a min or so then freeze.any advice as to what could be wrong? thank you for any replies

    Bill
    Does the same condition exist with commercial DVD's?
    Have you tried from a different User account?
    Have you tried setting Energy Saver to sleep - NEVER & unchecked "HDD sleep whenever possible"?
    Have you tried without the Radeon drivers (since they are not essential)?
