Unable to play VCD

[ramprasad]

Hi

I have a P4, Win XP machine with a CD-RQ and OEM version of Nero Express 6.

Recently, I bought a VCD. When I tried to put the CD on the drive and try to view the contents, it is shown as a Blank disc.

I tried to make an image, but no use.

Any help would be appreciated.

does the vcd work in vcd players? is the vcd original?

maybe u r cheated,the seller must have sold u blank disks.See if can record anything on it also see the howmuch space it has and left.Try playing it in a VCD player.

I didnt check with any VCD players, but the size is shown as 702MB on "My Computer"

try visual inspection
look at the shining side of the CD to determine whether it has been written or not.

and checking it by playing it in a VCD player is a good idea

the cd must be a corrupt one,it happens in such cases and yes do try to play it in standalone player.

chk if u can play other cd's. if yes then the cd is corrupted. if it cant be played even on vdp players then get it exchanged from the shop. they usually do not promise of it playing on compu but yes ofcourse of being played on players.

i too have winxp/sp2, nero6. but do u have the requisite codes ? i did not, hence was unable to see the vcds/dvds. u either have to download them or instal 'cyberlink powerdvd'. it installs the codecs too. now i can see the vcd/dvd movies. u may also have to do the same.
