deadone wrote: hi all, lately in trades ive been getting branded dvd- media. there is nothing wrong with the media used itself as in sony, verbatim etc etc, but for whatever reasons my pc is not allowing my to play/rip any dvd- discs.
they do however play perfect in my dvd players so i can still watch them np, so if you did send me dvd- its def not your fault they are not working in my pc as my 2 home dvd players play them perfectly.
its not that a big deal unless some1 wants them from me, thus i cant rip.
i have tried decrypter but to no avail.
according to my dvd writer it allows all the formats so im unsure why they wont play or rip.
i have gotten quite a few now from current trades so has any1 got any suggestions how i can extract them.
thanx

Hey Mick, looks like the problem is with only DVD-R, discs right?.. are any of them Dual Layer Discs?.. let me know more details thanks. i personally do not tlike DVD-R discs so always use and try and trade for DVD+R (when i used to trade)
My dvd drive on the laptop also says it plays that format sometimes they sit there and do nothing but usually they work when they sit in there for awhile tell me the name and model of the dvd rom and if it is internal or external then myself or someone else could help you better.
Edited... show us a screenshot of a DVD-R in your dvd rom drive if you move the cursor over it when it is in the drive does it say please insert a disc or no data cheers

I always use dvd-r, nevre have problems. Whats the difference with dvd+r??
@ cj..
yeah its a LiteON SOHW-1633S . my firmware is already updated.
@ menno
in general terms its different technology (I think they use different mixtures, glues etc.). I dont think you have to worry about what to use as the new devices widely support both standards (guess the same will happen to Bluray/HDDVD). I also use mostly DVD+ since theres a slightly better chance you get a quality disc as the production process is a bit more complicated thus not so many crap companies make em.
and no i cant use any sofware, dvd shrink, decrypter etc etc as the discs dont show as being loaded in my drive.
