my computer wont play this DVD, and we just got the computer fixed, i have intervideo win DVD installed, but it wont work still, and my computer does play DVD's it has b 4

Are you sure the DVD's the right encoding for your DVD player? You can read details about it here

(hmm... i remember leo talking bout this...) well i dotn know wat kind of DVD player mine is, i use wintervideo win DVD....so wat do i do

Also, besides the region codes. The DVD that you're trying to play, is it a self written one? If so, your player might be able to play DVD+R's but the DVD is actually a DVD-R (or vice versa)...

its a bran new DVD from music store (slipknot-disasterpieces)

DO you have the necessary drivers for you to run the dvd rom, or do  you have the right runtimes, I had this problem, try unintsalling windvd completely, then downloading the new one and installing it again, it installs the nexessary runtimes to play a dvd.

But maybe its just the dvd, it might not be english (pal) it might be american (ntsc), so it won't play.

Do you have the right codecs. My dad had this problem on his laptop and we downloaded the codec and it works.

all of ur suggestions arent working

forgot to read the last 2 posts......i unno i dont know wat codec/drive/stuff and i dont know what kind of drive mine is, that way i could get a region hack if i knew wat drive it was, i think it was encoded in london

will the dvd drive play cds and other things ok or just no dvds?
if it wont play anything it might be a jumper prob....

k, would it work if i restarted the cpomputer and put it on safe mode, would i be able to access the folder?

cookie u dont know what a decss program is? im ashamed of u i thought you were all-knowing

Who said I don't know what DeCSS (=right spelling ) is? What I meant with my unclear "hu?" was:

DeCSS is an illegal program to crack the (old) CSS copy protection used on some DVD's which aren't meant to be copied.

But the error that NoName is getting doesn't have anything todo with this as he can't even play the DVD (or so he said in his first posts).

The CSS copy protection doesn't prevent playing the DVD (it would then be kind of pointless to even make and sell the DVD).


PS: So, infact you're breaking forum rules for suggestion this (although it wouldn't do any good anyways)

i mean the legal decoders you purchase in dvd playing software. You cant play dvds on ur pc without powerdvd or simillar, otherwise wmp and other programs will say there is no dvd decoding device.
