Wow, that's a strange one. You say that every other DVD you own/rent works just fine in your machine, eh? Sounds like some sort of copy protection deal going on. Is this perhaps a new release DVD (probably from Sony Pictures)? If so, there may be a CSS on there that will not allow the disc to play on a PC (supposedly to eliminate piracy, but really just aggravating to those of us that are gravitating towards media centers).\n\nTry a Copy Protection removal tool (I wish I could tell you the name of one. You'll just have to google it yourself) and see if that works. If not, call the manufacturer of the disc.\n\nSorry I couldn't help any more than this but I've never encountered this problem before.....

Sounds like a problem with the drivers. Try re-installing the drivers or look online for the latest drivers for you particular DVD drive. You may have installed drivers for the wrong operating system, if you have XP then make sure that you install the XP drivers.

Multiple factors could be the problem:\n\n-The software you used to burn the DVD\n-The DVD, itself\n-The DVD player you're trying to play the DVD with\n\nI suggest downloading Nero Burning ROM to burn your DVDs. I've found it to be more stable than other programs out there.\n\nAlso be sure that you're burning the DVDs to the proper format that your player will support. Some DVD players won't play DVDs that are encoded for a different country's standard, for example. Make sure that before you burn the DVD, that you've looked up all the format settings that you're going to need to use.

When did you purchase myst? Maybe its defective. Have you tried to play it on someone elses computer? Have you played dvd's on it before? Do you have the latest update from the microsoft windows update? There should be a website for myst, go there and complain to them, or go back to the store and have them check out the dvd's and your laptop to see if its compatable. Hope this helps. Rock.

It sounds like you need to update the drivers for your sound card.  You might also need to update the drivers for your DVD player, it sounds to me like you're missing a codec for the audio.  Also check and see if there any updates for whatever program using the play your DVDs.  Any one of, or all three of these may fix your problem.

I had the same problem.  Not sure what the deal is either.\nI'm using VLC media player now, it's better anyway.\nhttp://www.videolan.org/vlc/

It's not the graphics card. It's the region settings. Try using VLC media player (which doesn't require the use of downloaded codecs) for free.\n\nIf that doesn't work, download AnyDVD. It will make your DVD's region free and removed all encryption.

Open DVD Decrypter and go to the Options Menu.\nUnder I/O try checking a box for ignoring I/O read errors.  This may solve your problem.  If not, the copy protection on the DVD is probably a new type and has not been"worked-around" by programmers yet.\n\nAlso try lowering the burning speed to 1-2x lower than the highest available.\n\nie: 16x -- lower it to 8x\nie: 8x -- lower it to 4x.

The drivers are corrupt and they crash your kernel. Delete the drivers, go online and d/l the newest ones for the DVD player, and reinstall.

Try playing the file(s) in vlc (http://www.videolan.org).  This will play almost anything.\n\nYou say you have all the updated codecs, but it still sounds like you're missing something.  Try getting the Gordian Knot codec pack at http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Gordian_Knot_Codec_Pack.htm\n\nIf it still doesn't play, then maybe there's a problem with the files themselves (did you download these files?).  Good luck :)

Try removing it and reinstalling it.\n\nAlso look at the System Settings from the Control Panel.  Go to the hardware tab and see if the DVD is working properly and that there are no conflicts.  If everything is OK then it has probably just got corrupt and needs reinstalling.

what program are you using to play them and how old is your computer? the avi file may also be bad and thats why it does that.

u only need codecs that u r going to use\nif u have a good pc then having all codecs won't slow performance\nJust make sure to download ONE codec pack and setup it just once (if u wanna change it or update uninstall first)\nthis is to avoid codecs conflicts (that's what packs are good for...the whole package works well with each other) just uninstall if u wanna change (update/install new ones) ur windows codecs\n\nand if u r just wondering what codec is needed to play a specific file...check the tool below

bitrates, do you know what bitrate the program set on high is?by lower quality, what do you mean, disc quality or burn speed or capture encoding rates?
