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 :)

Open up an audio recording program (I think Windows has a sound recorder accessory), make sure your sound properties are set to wave/mp3, then record the sound file as the dvd is playing.

Have you tried playing the DVD with another program? It might be that your DVD is scratched or something.\n\nGood luck

you need to have the proper codecs installed or correct video drivers.  Try updating your video card drivers and then update your player software.  If that still doesn't work then you can utilize software like Ace Mega Codecs Packs...it has several video and audio codecs in one easy to use installation...I'll include a link for it as well.

Apparently you have a DVD burner. If you also have a DVD player besides the DVD burner you can put the one that plays in the DVD player in comptuer and put a blank DVD disk in the DVD burner and use Nero (seems to work very well) and choose the option of copy entire disk. This should work for you..If you don't have a DVD player in the computer you can pick up a DVD/CDrw @ walmart (lite-on brand) for around 30-40 bucks....Thanks

Videos on VCD have a lower resolution than DVDs, because they have a smaller capacity only 700mb dvds however have about 4 gigabytes, 5 times the size then it can have better qualities\n\nif the images jump, it might be cuased by the burner, or you vcd player, or the files on it is broken

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.....

Not all standalone burners use the standard DVD structure. There should be an AUDIO_TS folder on the completed DVD and a VIDEO_TS folder. All the files should be in the VIDEO_TS folder.\n\nThe VIDEO_TS should have files in it that end in .IFO, .BUP, and .VOB.\n\nStandalone players are pretty rigid about this. Computer software based players are more flexible. If your problem is with the standalone only, then check your directory structure. If the problem is with both standalone and computer player, it may be that the rip (conversion) is sub-par.\n\nMore info on DVD structure and methods of working with them at the site linked below.

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

If you have an external dvd recorder, it should just plug in to the usb port and your pc should detect it.\n\nIf not, you might have to reinstall it again.\nOnce you pc detects it then it shows up as a drive in your MyComputer.\n\nIf Windows Media Player wont detect it then use another media player. There's lots of them out there.\n\nYOu can use winamp, apple quicktime, Core player, Ultra Player, well i could go on and on.\ngood luck\nstef

What type of disc did you use? In case it was DVD+R, not all DVD players read this format!\nFirst check what kind of discs the players support.

no it sounds to me liek you're missing a codec. The easiest way to do it is to download a free realplayer. Realplayer downloads all the codecs alot easier and then you reinstall the newest version of windows media player. Should work fine. Adn if that doens't work you could have a video card problem.

You can convert them to vcd or svcd and burn them with your cd burner in that format but you need burning software that will burn a disk in that format. I have nero and have had no problems. Also you need a dvd player that supports vcd's and svcd's and then you can play them on your dvd player. I have been doing it for years now. Vcd stands for video Compact Disk and svcd stands for super video compact disk.
