It will play CDs I've burned with pictures. It will play purchased DVDs, but not DVDs which I've copied from an orginal DVD taken with video camera. These aren't copyrighted DVDs.

Check the sound setup to TV. Refer its user manual for details. Check whether the audio format to the recorded disc do match with to that of TVs.

Download and install Nero Burning Rom program, open it, set in the up window the option CD/DVD, get to preferite, copy CD or copy DVD option, depends by what you need, set the speed 4x for DVD or 8x for CD for have a good copy quality, insert the original disk, it will copy it, then insert the new disk to burn.

Do you get any kind of error when you try to play a dvd or burn cds to clarify it plays Music CDs ? and regular cds just not dvds ?

Hi There,

Windows XP doesn't support burning DVDs, only CDs. You need to install an application that will burn DVDs. There are several;

it means that your dvd lens is already damage. change your dvd player.

simple some actaully most portable dvd players just arent made to play copys or duplicates becaues they do not have the software for that kind of disc. so they instead can only play origanals dont worry my portable dvd player does this too

dear friend

this is common probs for notebook dvdrws

they lack quality (all brands)

after sometime drives stops writing dvds, then reading them

after sometime, writing cds and eventually reading cds

in 5-6% cases drives stops to read cds first

sorry friend you have to replace the drive

and if it is in warranty

go for rma

thanks

Hi...
The laser goes thru a different lens arraignment for DVDs.
Take it to a TV shop and have them "blow out" the laser assembly with some CO2 and clean the lens.

you have to make sure your player supports the format your using on the dvds/cds.possible formats iso,avi,mp3,mp4 ect ect

Laser got weak. buy a new one
