DVD problems
Hello,
My computer is having a hard time playing some DVD movie discs. It can sometime read the contents of the disc but just can not play or even copy the files onto the HD. Anyone know what may cause this? Titus

Are newer movies the ones you are having problems with? Alot of them now have special locks and encryption to keep people from getting them to the hard drive. Sony has one of the worst locks on the dvds.

Hello,
Not sure if this is only limited to the new movies. I dont think so. But a friend said it is because the laser unit is failing. This can be the case as a few other things on the computer has stopped working. Titus

DVD shrink has problems with new movies I switched to clone cd, and any cd for the unlocking of the cd's (it is auto and you don't even know its there.. Clone CD is way better than DVD shrink which I used to use for a long time.
Titus I would try a software change befor getting a new burner. Steve

Yeah this is most likely the case. There's really nothing else on the computer that can cause the DVD drive to have a tough time reading a disc.
Try: 1) a CD/DVD Cleaner disc 2) blow it out with canned air 3) get a new drive (cheap these days!) Quote:

ya save your self some trouble and just get a new drive. it's so cheap now.
if you were to buy cdrom lens cleaning it would maybe cost you 20 bucks? maybe cheaper. but with new dvd drive. faster read and write speed.
