would anyone be able to tell me why my dvd drive wont play dvds?

it will run data dvd (games), it will run cds, but when you put a dvd film (original) it just spits it back out again?

any advice?


thanks

First, are the region settings correct? Go into the device properties, and check.

DVD's have a security feature that checks the player to where the disc was licensed to be sold (Like here in the states, can only be played in the states) so that I can't go buy cheap DVD's in Batang, and sell them here.

If it's not right, change it. But be careful, it can only be changed a few times. Try that, and if it don't work, we'll try something else.

dvd region is shown as 2 which is right, to give somemore info, it looks like it's just happening on copyright protected dvds

No, I use power dvd, like I say I have a old dvd disc from pc gamer and on one side it has demos and on the other dvd films (of the team and trailers) the only problem is with copyrighted DVDs it just scans them for a bit then spits them out
