Is DVD compatibility the problem?
I had a highlight film made for my soccer team by a local digital video company. I rec'd a DVD copy of this film.
The copy works fine in my Sony DVD player on my home entertainment system. However, it won't play on my computer. Green lite on for a while, slow spin-ups heard restarting, then it stops. I have an acer 16x DVD drive. It has latest firmware. I downloaded newest ver of WinDVD, which did not help. Other DVDs play fine. What could be prob? Thx.

Well, DVD drives/media are far from 100% interchangable, so I'd say that you do have a compatibility issue. In reality, what else could it be, since you say it works on one system, and not on another?

So that being solved...
What 2 do? If everything is latest, does that mean my acer DVD player is the piece of junk I thought it was? If this DVD was burned in a certain format (+R, +RW) will it not work in older drives? What say you? |

Some older computer drives (especially cheaper ones) cannot read the burnt DVD media. Just like we saw when CD-R and CD-RW first came out.
