DVD playing problem (cracked & vibrating voices)

[drgrudge]

Ok.. I just restarted, the sounds and other things work fine, but still the DVD dont play well


By the way, I forgot to tell whenever I play the DVD video movies, then it dont play as it should do. It plays and then pauses for a split second and then plays and this process is so fast as of it seems that it plays continously. And the sound is not good when this happens and this is my problem. I need to make it play properly. I dont know what went wrong
It used to play very well till last sunday

Now I am gonna try and uninstall the drivers and then install them again and see if that works.


@Biplav,
Thanks man, I will d/l this morning at 2am. Will have to uninstall and then install using this setup file?

[Biplav]

yah better uninstall and then install rather than reinstalling over it.
hmmm...
there seems to be some other prob too. how big and old is ur ram?

[drgrudge]

My ram is 128mb and almost 1.5-2 years old

Plz tell me how to reinstall as well. Is that as in the screenshot no. 3 in my earlier post?

[Biplav]

when the video doesnt play continuously there is under most circumstances is due to inadequate ram.
i had 128 mb ram and dvd used to be a bit u knw as if missed some frames.
but after i upgraded to 256mb ram the problem doesnt come.
well there is more than just audio problem as u just said u get video probs too.
but anyhow
unistall the drivers by clicking the uninstall butoon as u have already mentioned.
download the whole setup c-media file.
there u just unrar and select the setup.exe file there.
best of luck

Actually I dont think it would be your Audio Codec problems but thats just my opinion. Could you check otu something for me. Go to the control panel and then open Sound and Audio Devices. Go to the hardware tab and then scroll down and you should have a line which says video codecs. Select and click on properties and then go to the properties tab of the next window and can you post a screenshot of the codecs displayed. Do the same thnig for Audio Codecs to be safe also.

[drgrudge]

I tried to clean the registry entries as well, still no luck The thing, looked OK last night but today morning, it's same as it is. Still the voices are not proper.


exx_2000, Here they are:
Video:


Audio:


Still do you think it'll be codec problem? I use VLC player which dont need codecs.

[casual_gamer]

just reinstall the os man...

[drgrudge]

^^
I dont want to do that, so only I am taking so much pains to find out what's wrong.

Agian, I will configure my modem, install the hardwares, drivers and all the formalities.. mine is a old PC, so it's hard to find reinstall and make it work as it used to do.


Plz suggest/troubleshoot as what is wrong...

[casual_gamer]

Have you installed software like Total Recorder, or any Sound recorder because the same thing had happened to me couple of years ago only in Quicktime player.

Go to Controlpanel --> Sounds and Multimedia click on Audio tab, and under Sound Playback select your sound card because if you had installed if you had installed Totalrecorder it would install its own driver and change the playback device to its own driver.

hope this helps.....

[expertno.1]

hmmm

the last option to reisntall the os

if u think that its difficult to cinfigure and install drivers again

then no problem

use this softie and create a exe

after installing the os jsut run this and every driver is back

No...I have not installed it. I think I am some 90-95 sure that I have not installed it.


@expertno.1, thanks for that thing, will it work properly and have you tried it?

[drgrudge]

I think I found out wht the probelm is (maybe thats the reason, but not sure).

From last sunday , the DVD's dint play well as it is supposed to play because that's the day, when I uninstalled DVD decrypter

Now I installed DVD decrypter, but still the problem persists, what to do ppl?

I did the following:
- Re-installed my DVD player (VLC player)
- Un-installed the codec pack (klite mega)
- Cleaned unwanted entries at registry
- Updated my sound card drivers
- Re-installed them as well
- Tried to play in other players also, but it's the same in all the players.

Now I think, it's because of DVD decrypter, which I installed agian and restarted, even now it's not playing as it used to.

Plz suggest as what to do to make it proper.

[drgrudge]

Anyone?

Wow Im stuck at this point. I mean VLC player doesnt use any Codec other than the ones that does come with it. So reinstalling it should actually help if it was a problem with its codecs. This is from their documentation

File does not play, only sound or only video
Maybe the file you are trying to read is not fully supported. VLC does not use the codec packs you might have installed. It comes with its own codecs. If there is no open-source decoder for the format you are trying to read, it won't be supported. (There is an exception, under Windows, for codecs that use the DirectShow framework).

Now I checked my Codecs and your codecs and I basically have the same
thing with the exception of Indeo Codec.

Proceed with CAUTION

Now I know that this is gonna sound insane but here goes.

We know youre having a problem with the sound of the dvds you play. (hey by any chance can you play a cd from it ?) But you CAN read data dvds fine. What if we uninstalled every single codec audio ,video If Im correct you shouldnt encounter any errors (Please correct me if Im wrong.)Hell while not uninstall every single media player INCLUDING windows media Player 10 or what ya got on your system and then reinstall everything ie the media players one by one. If you are using onboard sound or a sound card lets uninstall ti and reinstall it. I think you have the drivers downloaded from Biplav.

Please can anyone confirm that this would not affect his pc anyway. I personaly havent tried this asince I dont have access ot my Pc. Now if this doesnt solve it then Id have nothing else to suggest other than to reinstall the whole thing.

[drgrudge]

No, I can play all other disks fine. Data DVD,CD all play well, only the the DVD movies dont play (I mean, dont play with the sound properly).

No man.. I have some 2-3 players.. I have windows media player 9 only (I unistalled the new one) , lemme d/l that and see if it works properly.

I tried all that I can do with the drivers too.

Now.. with after all this, I might have no option but to reinstall the OS

The problem now lies with that DVD decrypter, as I have said, the DVD's dont play well the day I unistalled it from my system.

[expertno.1]

@expertno.1, thanks for that thing, will it work properly and have you tried it?

yeah i have tried it 5 times

every month i format my computer and after installing the os there is a lot of driver problem

so i ws in search of a softie like this and at last i got this driver genius

it will create a exe of all the drivers which u have (third pary also)

and when u insatll a fresh copy of windows then jsut simply run the exe file and every driver will come back

trry it

i do it with it alwasy coz my system drivers are in different cds hard to find in which cd which driver is

so i use driver genius

give it a try

[drgrudge]

Hmm... atlast I had to format-reinstall my Windows XP and this time I have Windows XP gold with SP2

Now it's ok and working fine.

Aug 23 to Sep 16. And you finally decide to clean up and re-install. Goodonya mate! You should've done it long back, though I didn't suggest as I thought you were missing drivers needed for a clean install.

[drgrudge]

No mate, I knew it was not the problem with the drivers. I also found out the problem as to why that happened, it was due to the uninstall of DVD decrypter. But then, one one seemed to have any idea as to correct the problem, and I dint give up to solve it.

After a long wait, when I had no other options I went for the reinstall. And lol I could no longer wait to watch DVD movies

[elumalai]

After buying the DVD CDRW combo from Digit offer, now only I had the chance to view DVD movies....but here too i am unlucky...

I had a chance to go through burma bazaar, chennai and a guy offered a couple of DVD for 300 bucks, saying that it is original.

Being happy, i went to the house for enjoying DVD quality movie.

but alas, when I poppedin the first DVD, the message came that windows cannot recognise the DVD or read. need format??

Shocked and popped in the second DVD, my luck it got recognized and opend to view the files, they are having the extension *.vob, *.bup, *.ifo
and two directories audio-ts and video-ts. But none of the player found to be recognize that.


Currently, downloading k-lite codec lets see.


but the problem is why the first DVD is not recognized..... mine is windows xp. when googled, it says that some dvds are not read in windows xp or 2000.


pls help................................

[elumalai]

also when checked in windows me ( my frens one), the same dvd is recognized as audio cd.

and shows a file track01.cda

[drgrudge]

Hmm why do want to use Klite codec packs (or any other codec packs). Just u need XP's DVD codecs (d/l them from any MS d'l sites or Digit CD/DVD).

All the DVD's will have *.vob, *.bup, *.ifo files only and audio_ts folder will be empty.

Did you try to open the DVD and can you browse thro it?

I think the DVD is a faulty one and not the Drive.

Thank u drgrudge


Also, one DVD is ok, i can able to browse through it. Also, after I installed powerDVD it runs perfectly.

But, another one is not even recognized.

The message shown is " windows counld not recognize the format or not compatible or the disk may be corrupted".

But when I ran the DVD in the shop where I bought, it worked perfectly ( it is a DVD player and not PC). So, he is refusing to get it back.

Is there any s/w to help me, that interacts with the drive directly without the interference of windows kernel..????

[drgrudge]

Did you try any other software like VLC player or WinDVD or MPC?

There is some problem with the Windows media player, it wont play any DVD movies (which are copy-protected; but you dont worry pirated DVD's from burma bazzar are not copy protected )
See this:



And the DVD's unless data DVD's will play only in PC and not in DVD player. So irrespective of the DVD format thing, it should play in your DVD rom drive.

I installed winDVD, vlc and many other players found in digit dvd.

but the thing is the OS itself not recognizing the DVD, today I am going again to his shop and request or beg or shout to return it back....
