The dvd may be in a dual-layer format, in which there are two layers of data, only some drives can read and/or burn them.

You probably need a decoder to get it to work.  (I am assuming that the DVDs you are trying will work in another player).\n\nGoogle "dvd decoder for windows".  Lots of sites will have decoder info.

clean it maybe with rubbing alcohol. and if it doesnt work. then the dvds too damaged or scratched to play.

I'm sorry darlin but unless you have a DVD burner your chit outta luck.  Also, copying DVD's is a little more complicated than ya might think.  Exspecially store bought.  They have a built in code in them and are a very large file download and that's if you was to be able to download them.  Sorry, good luck till ya get a DVD burner.  Come back then and I'll tell ya how ta decode and copy them.  Good luck.  Mikie.

Sony and Samsung probably put some extra data on the DVDs to keep their competitors' hardware from using it.\n\nIt's called unethical business practice.

different country has different region codes...you need to find out the region code of the dvd and see if it matches your machine...if your not sure, you can google it

There are little holes on the disk.  And there is a magnet that fits into those holes. The way the holes are put on the disk makes an image and when you put it in the DVD player it spins so fast that the images come up on the screen.\n\nOr for kicks tell them the DVD characters live in the DVD player but are invisible without the DVD and cannot come out.  they are trapped behind the screen.

If the drive is old, it could be that it is broken.  A different laser is used for CDs and DVDs, so this is an indicator that the drive could be broken.  To double check, insert a computer CD (not dvd).  If this is read, you have a software configuration problem.  If it is not read, I think you have a dodgy cd/dvd drive

A really good website explaining this is www.papajohn.org.  Look under Import Movie Source Files > Video > Discs - DVD, VCD, etc.

It's illegal because of copyright laws.  Theoretically even burning CD's and DVD's for backup personal use is illegal.

They probably have a copy-protection software on it. Anyways that is illegal. That is copyright.

Yes, if your computer had a DVD drive in it, and if your computer is fairly new. It doesn't have to be really new, as long as it doesn't have some old 300 MHz processor in it. Even then it might work, but I don't think so. My comp runs DVDs fine with a 800 MHz processor in it, we also have 640 MB of memory, a bit of memory helps your comp with everything, including DVDs, but you probably don't need that much.

Using a combo of programs (i.e. anydvd & DVD Clone or DVD shrink & nero) it is easy to make a "backup of your own property and/or DVDs” it is illegal to reproduce copyright material w/o permission\n\nthese are free programs or programs you can get for less then $30

First off (and since you have played DVD's on your computer) you need a DVD player and/or burner.  Secondly, you need a computer program to crack the security on the DVD that keeps it from being able to be downloaded onto a computer - which is an illegal program, so at that point you are on your own (I don't believe in making copies without a copyright).
