Qosmio G30-201 HD-DVD cant play- Cannot display video on ext device?

Hi,
I am trying to play Heroes Season 1 HD DVD on my G30-201, and get a message ' Cannot display video on external device ' but there is NO external device - I am firstly trying to display it on the G30 screen. I would like to play it out through HDMI to another full screen TV.
I have updated the BIOS and reinstalled the HD-DVD player from the Toshiba site but there is no change!
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks
Nick

Hi there,
since when does the problem appear? Is this the first time?
I am not sure, but if you didnt already reinstalled the display drivers, I would suggest it since sometimes the VGA driver does not like the user wants.
Please, go to the Toshiba driver download site (again ;) ) and download the display driver. Install it and define only the internal screen.
If it doesnt work come back and give a feedback so we can discuss further about your problem.

  • Re: How to upgrade memory on Qosmio G30-201 and where to buy memory

    Hi,
    I have a Qosmio G30-201, with the following spec:
    - Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology featuring Intel Core2 Duo Processor T7400- Genuine Windows XP Media Center Edition- 400 (200 + 200) GB Hard Disk Drive- 2,048 (1,024+1,024) MB DDR2 RAM (533 MHz)- 17" Toshiba TruBrite WUXGA TFT display- HD DVD-ROM drive
    Running under Vista Ultimate
    I would like to upgrade the memory to 4096.
    Do I have to buy 4096 of memory, or can I add 2048?
    What memory do i buy? Toshiba do not seem to sell MB DDR2 RAM (533 MHz) after 4 years. What other memory would be suitable?
    Many thanks,
    Best regards
    Nick

    Your notebook can handle with 4GB of RAM and I recommend you to use 2 x 2GB module.
    Compatible 2 GB module has part number PA3513U-1M2G or Kingston KTT667D2/2G.
    Put the part umber in Google and you will find a place where you can order it in your country.

  • Qosmio G30-201 connected to LCD - how to fit the whole screen?

    Hi
    I have a Qosmio G30-201 laptop and also using a Toshiba WLT58 32 inch widescreen LCD with a HDMI Connector.
    I am trying to get the film that I am watching to fill the whole screen and leave the borders off.

    Hi
    Did you check if there is an option in the DVD player software which you use to watch DVDs??? Please check it!
    Additionally you could check the NVIDIA graphic card properties -> advanced settings.
    There you will find tab called GeForce Go.
    Thee you should open the table at the left side which provides useful options.
    Go to the device settings -> device adjustment.

    Hi
    Try firstly to update the BIOS and the graphic card driver.
    If this will not help you then I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country like suggested by Akuma too.

    Hi Dr.amon
    I think your mistaken mate. As far as I'm aware,the only model that can play hd-dvd's is the G30-163, and it's not available yet. This model will only read hd discs, not write to them. The Toshiba website says it's available, yet all it's retail outlets say it's not. I've emailed sales to find a release date, but they don't bother replying.
    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Qosmio G30 - New CD/DVD drive doesn't work properly

    Hiya all
    I'm hoping someone can help me. I have had to replace my TS-L802A drive with another of the same model, except that when I replaced the drive I have problems booting from CD and the laptop (Qosmio G30) rejects it by saying CD-ROM error on startup.
    I managed to install the operating system from a flash drive and it works fine except for the cd rom side of things. Do I need to flash the drive in order for the laptop to recognise it? If so how do I go about doing this. I'm thinking that the chipset for the optical drive is set as slave or something and not master.
    Please help!

    the drive wont show in the bios, the bios is wierd, it wont show the model number or name of any devices. is there a difference between a setup and the bios or are they the same thing. i cant configure anything. i have my old drive working at the moment but its badly damaged although it still reads disks hence the reason i managed to install an operating system. are there certain drives set as master/ cselect/ slave if so is there a way to flash the drive to make it work with my toshiba qosmio g30. or can i swap the chipsets on the optical drive by disassembling the casing and swapping them over. i just want the thing fixed. thanks please help!!!

  • Qosmio G30-163: Windows media encoder doesn't recognise video device

    I cannot get Windows media encoder to recognise my video camera connected to S-video port (Qosmio G30-163).
    I get similar problem with Marratech pro webconferencing application (it crashes after 15-20 second if I try to use it - during the time the application is frosen - in configuration I can see the test picture/video).
    If I use InterVideo WinDVD Creator 2 Platinum bundled software for capturing video it works just fine.

    Hi Nesko
    In my opinion you see this issue a little bit wrong. You are right about some standards but you must know that every hardware manufacturers dont care much about that. Other way Toshiba as notebook producer can not test all cams and external devices with the unit and also all software you can find on the market. It is a mission impossible.
    Qosmio is a multimedia unit and if you read specification about that you will see that you can do everything listed there (watch TV, connect camcorder and create own DVD movies etc.). Every one of us has some specific and unique wishes but nobody can guarantee that everything you want will work.
    For example: since almost a year I have Qosmio G20. I have tested it with my camcorder, with VHS recorder using it with preinstalled and also third part software and for every situation I have found solution and it work somehow.
    I really dont know which cam you have but if you want to have web conferencing without any problems you should by USB webcam with highest resolutions and frames per second. Web cam will be recognized and installed very fast and you can use it any time. Sorry but web conferencing via MCE and cam is not known to me.
    Anyway you can try to contact support. Maybe they have some magic\solution. If you will find out how it works please write again. I am really interested if something like that is possible.
    Good luck!

  • Qosmio G30-153 HD DVD error message - Unable to play back

    After 6 months of great HD DVDV viewing (well four actual playing times) I now am unable to play any HD DVD's but instead get a message saying "Unable to play back. Please restart the computer. event code: 6".
    Have deleted Toshiba HD DVD programme and reloaded from 'Drivers and Tools' back-up CD but to no avail.
    Audio CD's and std DVD's work ok, just not HD DVD's. Sometimes I get a black screen, the little control panel shows something iis playing .e. the indicater moves left to right, but no audio is heard.
    Is the disc player components of these laptops prone to failure?
    Any advice gratefully accepted.

    Same thing happened to my machine. Although "chronicles of Riddick" plays fine. I bought "Bourne" collection and get that error message on all 3 discs so I think it has to do with security coding on the DVD itself. I bought this machine for to be able to play these things.
    Hope someone out there can help.

  • Video-in Function - Qosmio G30-201

    Hi, I'm starting to question my own sanity. I posted a query a while ago about video capture from the video-in port on the right sode of the laptop adjacent to the s-video input. I never really got a full answer to this (see link http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19160&messageID=70057
    I've tried various different sources both video and audio, using the provided cable. Nothing is ever detected or played through this port and no amount of tinkering in Media Centre with the source playing seems to be able to find anything.
    I have seen similar questions on the forum none of which seem to have been answered eg:

    Hello Andy,
    >Hi, I'm starting to question my own sanity. I posted a query a while ago about video capture from the video-in port on the right sode of the laptop adjacent to the s-video input. I never really got a full answer to this
    Lets see if we can help you to solve this problem.
    At first, please connect your VHS tape, or whatever you have, to the Qosmio video-in (composite or SVHS) and the audio in (cable supplied with the notebook)
    Composite video in (Yellow RCA), left audio in (White RCA), right audio in (Red RCA)
    FOR MONITORING:
    -Open the Toshiba Picture enhancement utility and choose your Video input (Composite or SVHS) and your Video signal (NTSC or Pal)
    https://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiopicenh.jpg
    This is used only if you want your Qosmio as a monitor in for your VHS, DVD player, etc.
    Select monitor-in on picture enhancement utility, to composite input cable (the yellow) and press the hotkeys (Fn+4) to see the video from your source on Qosmio LCD display.
    pressed once = 4x3 mode, pressed two = 16x9 mode, pressed three = return to LCD normal mode
    or select the S video option on picture enhancement utility, if you have a SVHS cable connected to video input in your Qosmio.
    NOW FOR RECORDING:
    -Pick up a good capture program, you could do this capture with media center 2005, but I let you choose a better one.
    I recommend to you the Cyberlink Power Director v5.0 premium
    Link:
    https://www.cyberlink.com/multi/products/main_4_ENU.html
    there is a free trial download available
    Install it and after lauching it, go to the capture section:
    Now go to the settings and choose the Toshiba device capture (Toshiba PCI TV Tuner MPEG encoder)
    Choose your capture source, too: TV, SVHS or Composite input
    See:
    https://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiorecorder.jpg
    If you are using the composite cable, the one supplied with the Notebook (yellow, white and red), please SELECT THE CAPTURE SOURCE AS COMPOSITE
    https://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiorecorder7.jpg
    Choose the Soundmax for the G20 or the sigmatel for the G30 as your audio recorder device.
    https://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiorecorder5.jpg
    Right now i am doing this record test with a Qosmio G20. Windows Vista installed, by the way.
    The example showed on the picture is a capture from an old NTSC video tape performing Madonna live show (dated 1980).
    https://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiorecorder1.jpg
    After that capture you can edit,add titles, cut off undesired scenes, etc
    https://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiorecorder2.jpg
    You can always view it, with Media Viewer, after captured:
    https://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiorecorder6.jpg
    And finally you can produce your Video
    https://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiorecorder3.jpg
    To a DVD, for example:

  • Qosmio G30-163: HD-DVD Player or InterVideo HD-DVD

    Hi Guys,
    I am currently using the InterVideo HD DVD Player however I was told I can download and install the Toshiba HD DVD Player, is this any better than the InterVideo software? I heard it doesnt like to output via HDMI either?
    Cheers

    This question has been answered in my other thread.

    It would appear that both output to HDMI however the reason it didnt was because of the drives firmware.
