• DVD-RW Drive won't play movies?
    6 replies, posted
I have bought a Samsung DVD-RW drive and it won't play movies? It reads and copies DVD's but won't read movies. I changed it to my region which is region 4 which it told me to do anbd it still won't work. Does anyone have an idea of what it is. By the way, Device Manager says it is a CD-RW drive... Any help is appreciated. [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/ogc2dc.png[/IMG]
What kind of movies? If they are Blu-Ray discs, they won't play. They are simple DVDs right?
They are just simple DVD's. No Blu-Ray, yet.... They are all Region 4 movies as well.
Have you installed the codecs? [url]http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm[/url]
No, I am just downloading them now. I see if they work. Thanks
No, they didn't work. The thing is, it installed Windows 7 which is a DVD and it writes DVD's but it won't play movies....
Try the media players "VLC" or "Media Player Classic Home Cinema".
