Playing a DVD Question.... :+}
« on: December 01, 2012, 01:10:55 pm »
Was given a Early Christmas gift of a DVD.  It will not play in my DVD Player.  Others would.  It will play perfectly on the Computer.  Can anyone tell me why this is so?
The DVD Player shows DISC ERROR on the screen.  Help....  Danny  :+}

More Info needed. Is it a store bought DVD or one that someone made and gave you?  ???

It was sealed so I would say Yes it is a store bought.

Did you figure it out Danny?
I thinks it's the region code.

Danny, there are lots of free programmes to read DVD's.
Check on google for reading programmes.

Danny, it is possible it was never intended to be viewed on a dvd player.  Many dvds are produced for viewing on a computer and will not work in a dedicated player because the format is wrong.  Many recording programs ask you before recording if the DVD is intended for a dvd player for the same reason.
