HELP PLEASE.....burner will not read dvd disc

[the_hustler11]

I put a movie in (The Butterfly Effect Directors Cut) and nothing shows up. There usually is a window that pops up and says What do you want Windows to do and it gives you selections that it detected a dvd file.......this has happened only once before. I've watched a lot of movies on my computer and there has never been any problems. The last time that it happened i tried the movie on a different computer and it was fine. I also tried updating my firmware but to no avail. HELP PLEASE!!!

double click my computer there you will see the disc double click again.to play it you have probably clicked the take no action when a disc is inserted box.hence you dont see the window.

Thats the problem......there is nothing there....its as if i didn't put anything in the drive at all....

[marcmoon]

same here

i have the same problem. RV is the third disc this week that my burner/drive does not acknowledge. i put another disc in, no problemo.

[discman]

sounds like a bad disc have you cleaned it?

[the_hustler11]

it works on dvd players

[discman]

have heard of this before but dont know the answer.have you tried a reboot?or even reinstalling the drive.

[the_hustler11]

how would i do that?

[marcmoon]

the disc work in dvd players, and i tried cleaning, rebooting, and restore. after last post the disc was recognized but as soon as i started dvd43, dvd43 froze and i had to manually restart my pc. even after ejecting the disc. this happened twice.

as i started dvd43, dvd43 froze

this happens often with dvd43, not a good program, gets in a lot of fights

[discman]

i would delete the drive then reinstall it.but im no expert and i dont recommend it.thats just what i would try.

you just uninstall it from device manager and reboot, sometimes works, worth a try, safe. can't hurt, windows get confused every now and then, when it gets bad tho, my computer and device manager will lose the drives all on their own.

[marcmoon]

never had a problem with dvd43 before. theres a 1st for er-thing. i wil attempt to reinstall driver.

[daman]

I'd dump 43..it's crap IMO.

[copyless]

I too would take Chewy's and daman's advice and get rid of DVD43, as it does conflict with many things. Then if I still had problems, I would try the uninstall, with DVD43 gone from my computer.

You could try RipIt4Me as an alternative ripping method.
