if your cd or dvd writer is not playing movies then this is a problem of your cd/dvd writer's lens.you can repair your cd/dvd writer and then you acn see any movie on your system.

I would say you need a new CD/DVD. This one appears to have given up. These days, they are not very expensive. var fctb_tool=null; function FCTB_Init_3ebe2b55d0d94800b072c8db741693f5(t) { fctb_tool=t; start(fctb_tool); } var fctb_tool=null; function FCTB_Init_0ef9312c3bb74669a836f0f462a4530a(t) { fctb_tool=t; start(fctb_tool); }

On the back of a CD-writer or a DVD-writer is a small grid (2 rows) of gold pins.

Each vertical set of pins is labelled: MA(ster), SL(ave), and C(able)S(elect).
Be sure that one drive has a small jumper between the MA pins,
and the other drive has a small jumper between the SL pins.

Was there any software on CD-ROM that came with the DVD-writer,
e.g., software to play DVDs, and software to write CDs and DVDs?
To "play" a DVD, you'll need that software.
To "play" a music CD, Windows Media Player will suffice.

if you have cd writer and dvd rom then change your cd drive with cd/dvd writer because in the case of cd writer and dvd rom it gives error but sometimes the dvd play also but computer freeze from sometime and when we copy data then give us error messages i give you suggest to buy new cd/dvd writer

i have connected LG DVD WRITER in computer but it is not showing icon of dvd writer in computer

we may need more details but you can try this for now

1. are you sure you have a cd writer or a dvd writer (writer = burner)--- check the front edge of your cd/dvd unit and look for words like "writer" "burner" or writeable next to the word dvd or compact disc... keep in mind not all cd/dvd writer can write (burn) cd or dvds, some may burn cd but not dvds.

2. is your cd/dvd unit compatible with the media (cd or dvd blank disk) you are trying to use.. depending your cd/dvd especifications your dvd/cd drive is compatible with certain types of cd or dvds that are writeable.

3. is the cd/dvd a writeable cd/dvd and is compatible with your cd/dvd drive? for instance.. if you are using a blank dvd and your cd/dvd drive only burn cd/s and read dvd and cd you won't be able to write to the blank dvd.

4. are you trying to burn a dvd in a corporate computer.?? as a user (not an administrator) of your corporate computer you may not have priviledges that will allow them to burn dvd/cd's even you your drive and your media are compatible.

please post
the error that you get
the brand and model of the computer you're using
the type of media you're using

Maybe your pc has a virus, install an updated antivirus program and clean your computer. Then reinstall your driver software for your dvd + cd writer.
Thanks!
I hope this is a solution!

These are the best DVD writers....

 

Lightscribe technology is where you can burn your pictures on the disc as a label..... This is Hp's latest technology

 

If you have posted the correct model of writer, then it only supports the writing of DVD+R and DVD+RW discs, but CD-R and CD-RW disc writing are supported, and it should play all forms of DVD, so it won't burn DVD-R and RW discs, but if it wont play all types then try a cd/dvd cleaner, but to be honest when writers start playing up the lens is normally faulting and a replacement drive will be required.
