Have used my dvd burner for years and have burnt many movies. All of a sudden it quit reading dvds. I've been using Nero 6 and PowerDVD, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling software and this doesn't help.It won't read original dvd's either. I read something about a dvd decoder may be missing. Does anyone have any sugguestions on what I need to do or install to make my drive to work? Thanks.
Your burner may need to be replaced it is not a software problem that is causing your problem new burners are very inexpensive they start at less than 50.00
My cd-rw drive won't read them either, thats why I thought it might be a software problem. Both drives (cd-rw and hpdvd-rw) read data disc and my digital pictures, but neither will read a dvd movie. Thanks for any help
Also, along with what nasain said---What Operating System (Windows version ? Linux?) and did you install any new software or hardware before this started?
I'm using Windows xp. I have a HP burner.I just installed dvdfab hd,at first it wouldn't find the source for the movie,then it did bring up Rush hour 3, but it just kept saying "finding source- rush hour 3". In RIPIT4ME it couldn't find the dvd. I was able to burn the movie "Candy" a few days ago.
Now, when I click on either of my drives when I have a movie dvd it comes up blank. When I open PowerDVD it reads no Disk in drive. Thanks for any help.
