Not all VCD/DVD movies are working on PC.

kamleshrao · 29-03-2004, 02:12 PM

Hello,

I have a regular CD-ROM Drive + a DVD-ROM Drive too.
I notice that not all the VCD movies work on the CD-ROM Drive.
The same happens with DVD Movies.

Some DVD Movie discs are not at all recognized by my PC DVD Drive.

But these VCD/DVD Movies work on a regular VCD/DVD Player that is attached to a TV.

Why some of the VCD/DVD movies doesn't work on my PC?

Basic PC Config:
Pentium 4 - 2.4GHz
256MB DDR
Sony CDROM Drive
Sony DVDROM Drive
nVidia GeForce MX Graphics card.

Is this a software problem or hardware problem? Can I do some configuration settings to fix this problem.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Regards,
Kamlesh
