Hi,

My boyfriend has burnt me a couple of DVD's using DVD-R and DVD+RW formats. But I can not get my DVD driver to read them. I have looked up some info. But cant seem to find anything really helpful. This is what I have for a DVD-Rom "Matshita SR-8176". For my driver I have a "Hitachi_DK23CA-30B". I am using Windows XP. I guess my question is will I be able to play them on my laptop, and still be able to play them on a regular DVD player, without really paying anything? I am still in college and really cant afford much. Is there a free program that I can perhaps download or can someone please maybe walk me through something? Any help would be really appreciated, as I am getting frustrated and am ready to chuck my computer across the room. Lol.

Thanks for any help you guys can send me.

Windows media wont play the DVD either. My dvd rom doesnt even realize theres a DVD in it. It plays other DVD's (that arent burnt) and CD's that are both burnt and not. So I know theres power to the DVDROM.

Where can I get the vlc player? And I was looking for a codec to DL but I couldnt seem to find anything that would work. Do you have any ideas as to what I should download?

Thanks for your help. :]

That's what I thought Please use Verbatim DVDR- for movies first, the disc you are using wont work for playback on your players
