SONY CD/DVD Player won't work with my HD DVR. Need advice please.

Just purchased it and I wired to the HD DVR receiver. Can't get it to setup or work at all. Any clues out there? Thanks.

Are you saying you connected the DVD player to Verizon's STB (HD DVR)? If that is the case, there is no configuration that will work since there are no active inputs on the boxes from Verizon.
You need to connect the DVD player directly to an input on your TV or Home Theater system (if you have one).

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:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

Aperture and DVD Player no longer work with NVIDIA 330M, help!

I recently got my computer back from the Apple Store, had the display switched because the glass kept falling off.
Anyways, since getting it back, I noticed DVD Player doesn't work anymore, it gives me:
There was an initialization error
A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]
And when I try to start Aperture 3.3:
Error
The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture.
I have a mid-2010 MBP i5 2.4Ghz with 8GB memory, running OSX 10.7.4.
Things i have tried:
Reset PRAM
Reset SMC
Boot into recovery mode and fix permissions
Boot into 32 bit kernel
force fsck
Create new user and try from that account
Also my video conference software, Jabber gives an error and quits too. Its something with the video.
Switching to Intel HD video, everything works fine. Only with the NVIDIA 330M do I get this error.
Does anyone have any idea what this may be or what I could try?

I'm having exactly the same problem. Additionally, the DVDs I make aren't recognized by other Macs I've tried. All the Preferences are set correctly.
My dvd player no longer reads commercial movies or a
dvd project I just burned with it. Disks no longer
show on my desktop when they are inserted. When I
got to dvd player and manually press play it reads
"not Permitted" for both.
The burner does work in as I played the dvd in my
home dvd player.

Dvd player won't work...ejects them

My dvd player will not work. Everytime I put one in, it spits it right back out.

You may be able to get the bottom replaced by Apple at no cost - some of the newer white MacBooks had this issue.
More information on that here
As for replacing the drive, here's a guide for doing the replacement yourself, and here is a link for a replacement drive.
Looks like the cost is $90 right now.
You can get a portable external for ~$55, like this LaCie from OWC.
With regard to your current optical drive - make sure the discs you've tried work OK in other computers or in stand alone DVD players. If they do, that definitely indicates yours is dead or dying.
CDs may still work though so if you have any CDs handy, it would be worth trying a few to see if it will accept them.
Hopefully this helps you a bit - if you have more questions, please do ask!

Html5 video player won't work with slider script??

Hi - I'm new to html5 and Dreamweaver, but I've worked with html in the past, so most things aspects aren't foreign to me.
My question is this: I'm working with an existing html5 template and it had a slider graphics bar near the top. It works fine and scrolls through three pre-made banners.
The problem is I just added the widget for HTML5 Videoplayer and inserted it into my code. The video box, etc. shows up fine, and will play, but now the slider graphic box at the top doesn't work anymore. Instead it just displays all three banners as images, one on top of the other.
When I look closer at the script code that the widget embeds, it seems as though the script widget code is not playing well with the existing script code. When I remove the script code that the widget installs, the slider works perfectly again (but the video obviously won't play).
The exact code is included below. My question is, how can I make the two of these scripts work together???Any help would be great appreciated. Thanks, Blair

DVD player does not work with latest update

I installed the latest update 10.8.2 and now my brand new Superdrive will not work with new MacBook Pro Retina display. When I plug in Superdrive and try to start a DVD, it say "DVD quit unexpectedly......" Took to Apple store and they said it was latest update. Anyone else with this problem?

Dear all,
Perhaps you found out yourselves but the latest Software Update, called OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Supplemental Update, solves this issue. I recommend you install it and restart your Mac.
When you insert a DVD in the drive and DVD Player launches, you will be prompted to confirm the region encoding (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, based on the encoding of the DVD you are about to play). This is normal, and you should confirm it again, even if you did it previously.
Naturally, if most of your DVDs are encoded for one region and you want to play a disc encoded for another region, please remember you may make a limited number of region changes when you play other DVDs, and the last one will be permanent. So, act with caution and sensibility.

DVD player that will work with a portable hard drive

I have a large collecion of movie on my hard drive. I am interested in purchasing a new DVD player and am interested in being able to transfer movies from my computer to a western digital / My passbook portable USB hard drive. and play them directly from the had drive without burning them to a DVD disk. Any suggestions?

I think some DivX-certified players can play DivX content from USB storage devices and not just disc media. Anything that works with thumb drives should work with external hard drives.
One exception: 2.5" hard drives need a LOT of power from the USB port, some players might not like this. 3.5" hard drives with an external power supply are a safe bet with anything that supports thumb drives.
A PS3 will definitely do the trick. Many Blu-Ray players are likely to do it too. BBY lists 41 Blu-Ray players with USB ports - but on some of those the USB port may only be for WiFi, not sure.

DVD player won't work on OSX 10.9.1

When I loaded OS X 10.9.1, I am now unable to play videos on my MacBook Pro. Is there any updates so I can get it to work?

I upgraded to OSX Mavericks (10.9.1) on my MacBook Pro last Wednesday, January 8th, and since then I am also having the same issue with my DVD player not working since the upgrade. There are no error messages, the drive just kicks out the DVD. CD's work fine, though. And yes, I have checked my settings in the System Preferences and they are all set correctly.
Any help would be appreciated, but I may just end up taking my laptop to the Apple Store geniuses to see if they can sort it out...

My DVD player does not work with some DVDs

My DVD does not work with certain DVDs. Do I need to get it replaced or is there some other problem.

Could it be that they're out-of-region DVDs? Which model MBP do you have (15" late 2011, for example) and which version of OS X are you running?

DVD player doesn't work with apple TV

I have an mid-2011 27" iMac and a third generation Apple TV. I just discovered that DVDs will not play on the Apple TV using airplay and mirroring from my iMac. The sound is there, but the video is displayed as a screen filled with white and gray squares. Any suggestions?

Thanks Rudegar and Brian. I am not attempting to play copyrighted material. I teach German in a high school and I have downloaded a series from PBS to show my students. The videos play properly on my iMac, but not when I mirror my iMac to the Apple TV in my classroom. I have many YouTube videos that play well when mirrored, but the material I saved as DVDs are causing the problem. Had I simply saved them in the mov. format, I would not be having this problem. Does anyone know if there is a solution to make the DVD player function properly when mirroring to an Apple TV?

My dvd player won't work anymore since my last update !!!

Hi , i have made a full update and since my dvd player wont recognize the disc and play them , please help.

Lenovo not working with samsung Lcd TV.need advice...

I am using a Lenovo 3000 N100 series AQ1 768 laptop.Its got no external graphics card.I want to connect it to my Samsung LA32B550 LCD TV via a vga cable.
I have all the hardware fixed but there seems to be something missing on the configuring section of the laptop settings that i am missing out on.I have installed the Presentation Director for lenovo 3000 series and also using the hotkey Function + F7 .still the problem persists and i do not get the output on the lcd screen.
One thing i should let you know is that as soon as i am turning on "attached" in the second monitor option in the display settings it turns active but when i say apply it reverts back to inactive.and the Presentation director says theres a configuration problem on the display.
Any help in this issue would be highly appreciated cause i the purpose of spending so much money on the LCD is to see the output on television of the animation work i do.Hence i need the output on screen .
Thanks a lot in advance.

Frustrated - Multiple issues with Fios TV/DVR - need advice on dealing with tech support

I have been a Verizon Fios customer since Feb. 20th (all of two and a half weeks). I signed up for my bundle on-line around 11am on the 20th, and had a technician out for install within a few hours on the SAME day. I thought that was impressive - and I was looking forward to having a more reliable and fast internet connection than I had been experiencing with Brighthouse.
The technician who installed was very friendly, and although he had some issues (apparently, there was a Verizon box in this house before us, but someone ripped it off the wall, so they had to run new wire all the way out to the street) the install went pretty quickly and smoothly.
The first few days went along without a problem, and the internet was great. Some of the functionality of the DVR was less than I'd hoped for, but some of the other features were great. I had a glitch trying to set up my online account, but I used the online chat feature to work with tech support and she was able to correct the issue. We noticed a couple times in the evenings that the TV would pixelate - but it only happened a few times and was very brief.
On Sunday the 26th, our real issues started. The live TV started freezing, then having a liquid-like pixelation problem, sometimes no sound. We tried to watch a recorded show from our DVR list and received error messages stating that we didn't have DVR. We called Verizon tech support and a very rude person reset the box several times and apparently even reinitialized the box and the result was that the box wouldn't even turn on anymore. He said that he'd have a new box shipped out to us and that it would arrive by Tuesday or Wednesday. My husband got on the phone at that point and suggested to him that since we were brand new customers (less than a week) and that since we had service installed on the very same day that we ordered it online, that certainly they could have someone bring us a new box on Monday morning. The technician told us that he would transfer us to the billing department because we could probably just cancel the service. We were both dumbfounded. Especially considering that he had been rude from the minute he took our call, and while we were obviously frustrated, we were never rude. We were eventually transferred to someone in billing who said she had never heard of such a thing and that she could not help us unless we wanted to cancel. While this was going on, I had unplugged the box again, let it sit for several minutes, then plugged it back in - and the tv worked. And the DVR worked. We assumed that maybe something the tech support guy did had worked after all. Well, it worked until the next morning. We had error messages saying we had no DVR. A reboot of the box worked again. After work, in the evening, it turned out that scheduled shows didn't record. So, we called tech support again and asked for our new box. We were told we'd have it by Thursday.
New box arrived Thursday and we set it up that evening. Went through trying to get all of our recordings set up again and finally sat down to watch tv. I switched to Showtime (which we are subscribed to in our package) and received an error that the channel was not available, press B to troubleshoot or call tech support with this code. Pressed B, went through the steps and the channel came back. Then, proceeded on to HBO, also part of our subscription - and we received the same error. We pressed B and this time going through the steps did NOT correct - so we called tech support. After working with the girl for over an hour, she finally determined that we needed to be switched to billing to have them remove our HBO package and then put it back on and that should correct the problem. So, while we were waiting for billing to come on the line, we started flipping channels again. Now, channels that had previously worked were now showing the error that the channel was unavailable - even non HD, non premium channels. When the billing girl got on the phone, she said there was really nothing she could do with that being the case and that downgrading our package and re-upgrading it would do nothing - that we needed technical support. She got us on the line with a different tech support person who said that we were obviously having signal related issues and that we needed a tech to come out to look at the wiring. He scheduled an appointment for us for Friday. That call took over 2 hours.
On Friday, the tech came out and spent time checking all of the wires coming in to the house - he said we had multiple splitters on lines that didn't need splitters and that this was likely causing a signal disruption and was probably the cause of the failure on both boxes. He removed some of the splitters and apparently streamlined some of the wiring. We still had the original box and the new box. He hooked up each box and they both worked - all of our premium channels worked, DVR was good, etc. We boxed up the old box to send back, kept the new box and had tv that worked just fine for a few hours... then we started having the channel not available issues again. And, now - we were also getting messages saying that we weren't subscribed to a channel - and this would range from HBO all the way to a non HD standard tv channel. A reboot will work and restore function - for a while. However - scheduled shows aren't recording - or record for 7 seconds and stop. Or record for a while, then have a 20 minute gap in the middle where it's frozen, etc. This has been going on since a few hours after the technician left Friday evening. And, I have to say - when the tech left Friday - everhything seemed fine. He had tested the signal strength - seemed completely thorough and was very nice. I don't think he could have known, at that time, that the problem wasn't fixed.
We have not called back to tech support yet. We're busy with our work and our lives and we're also frustrated. I know it will take another several hours and don't have much faith that there is any resolution. It seems to me that we probably need the whole house completely rewired - brand new - start over. I'm thinking there's a bad wire in there somewhere.
This morning with my coffee before work, I tried to watch a tv show in my DVR list that apparently didn't record properly - no surprise (it froze and skipped over half the show). So, I went to On Demand and found the show. (Without Bay News 9, I'm kind of lost with morning coffee, so I need a show of some kind) It started to play and was going along just fine, till I received a CableCARD (tm) Pairing Information is not available message. I tried the auto fix in the menu, rebooted, etc. It worked for a few minutes, then stopped again. At one point, I got an error saying the set top box lost video due to a network connection failure. Great, does that mean my internet is going bad too?? While looking around in the menu function, I clicked on the self diagnostics feature. It filled in all the information, as I'd seen it do before - except when it got to the package description. This time, instead of Ultimate HD, HBO, VOD, etc., etc (like I'd seen before). it told me that my package is: Arabic, Armenian, ART (Arabic), Extreme HD, HBO, Prime & Ultimate HD, Prime HD, RA, RAI (Italian), etc., etc. Huh??? Really???
So, I'm not sure now what the deal is - would a signal issue cause my subscription package to change? Do I get on the phone with someone at tech support for another few hours? Are they going to send yet another box? Are they going to come re-wire the whole house? Is it worth it? This is really ridiculous. Do I cancel and go back to Brighthouse with my tail between my legs? At least with them, I knew that my internet connection would be wicked slow at certain times of the day, but at least I knew it was coming and could expect it - and I could at least count on my tv and dvr recording my shows.
When I logged into verizon to vent on this forum, my account said that it was unable to access my DVR. When I clicked on manage my DVR, it just says Bad Gateway. Not a great start to our relationship, Verizon.
I really need some advice. Should I stay or should I go? And, if I stay - what is the best way for me to explain this to tech support so they will do the right thing and fix this? And, what is "this" anyway? Bad box, bad wiring?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
