LAPTOP DVD DRIVE WONT PLAY DVDS

MY DVD DRIVE DOESN'T PLAY PROPERLY NOW. IT JUST HAPPENED SUDDENLY WHILST I WAS WATCHING A MOVIE.
THE SYMPTOMS ARE THAT: -
1. The pace of both the picture and sound is inaccurate and jerky.
2. Sound and picture are often out of sync.
3. Jerkiness occur repeatedly, but sometimes the movie wont continue to play at all. The drive tries to spin up, pauses, tries to spin up again ? this goes on and on for several minutes and can?t be stopped (the drive won?t eject). When it finally stops and the drive ejects the disc will be burning hot.
4. You never know if/when (and why :mad: ) the movie will stop working in the middle.

Sometimes the problems are really bad, sometimes not so. At its worst the computer won?t play a disc at all. A disc that won?t play at all one day may at least be somewhat watchable the next.
6.Also, when i try to burn movies onto cd it takes much longer than usual.
7. You cant play audio on the laptop when the dvd drive is running.
DO I NEED TO BUY A NEW DVD DRIVE OR SOMETHING CAN YOU PLEASES HELP ME

    I can't play DVD's. It keeps jumping and stopping and the sound is jerky. It used to work properly but since I started loading games on my laptop it has stopped working properly. I've tryed deleting stuff but it still doesn't work. How do I fix it?

    My Computer Seems to have a similar problem with cds and dvds.

    As soon as the disk starts spinning, the sound of the whole computer struggles and so does the picture. Its almost like the computer struggles to play dvds. It was normal and able to play dvds before.. :S

I was watching movie. suddenly my laptop doesn't have sound anymore. what should I do now?

This could be something easy like an update to your sound board or something major like the speaker I would find out what sound card your laptop has and go to that site to see if there is a update this would be the fastest and cheapest way

My computer says that it has Cyberlink DVD 9 on it. But I can't play any DVDs on it. What shall I do?

First, gotta make sure you have a DVD drive, most modern computers do: DVD, DVD/ CD-RW, or DVD-RW drives are commonplace these days. If you have a DVD drive and it doesn't play anything, then more than likely you have a defective drive (DVD drives not working with DVD discs is a fairly common type of failure - insofar as failures go).

To be absolutely certain, try playing an original, commercial DVD movie - one that you know is good - if it still doesn't play it then it is, in all likelihood, a failed DVD drive.

Why wont my dvd drive play dvds? Yesterday, I was watching a movie and I was really tired so I simply closed the computer. The next day I was going to finish watching my movie but the computer wouldnt...

I suggest that you clean it first using some soft of air blower, maybe there is something stuck in there. just make sure the computer is not switched on.

One more thing, take the driver out of the the boot sequence from BIOS if the noise happens when the computer starts up.

Also, check with the manufacturer if it is still under warranty. Sometimes if you have used a shatter, it could damage the drive gears.

If it is too old, perhaps you would want to replace it with a new one because maybe there is drive failure that cannot be fixed.

If you have changed the DVDs and the problem is still there, then the problem can only be the DVD player.
The symptoms you describe cannot be caused by the TV or the connection.
