Guest Kenny Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Re: CD NOT ABLE TO READ IN THE DVD AFTER REINSTALL Maybe you haven't got the right codecs to play VCD, try VLC Player, it handles most video file types. http://filehippo.com/download_vlc/ -- Kenny Cargill "solon" <solon@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8A91008C-9217-47E6-B024-C0CA543BED5A@microsoft.com... > hi > > i just got my sony notebook reinstall the xp fm the recovery cd, & found > out > that the cd writer only able to read dvd but not vcd any more! or even > play > vcd movie on it! > only dvd working > > anyone met this problem before & anyone ca help me on this case? > > -- > solon

Guest Kenny Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Re: CD NOT ABLE TO READ IN THE DVD AFTER REINSTALL A DVD drive uses two different lasers, one for CD and one for DVD, if it's reading DVD but not CD it may be that laser is faulty. Before you condemn it try a laser lens cleaner disc. -- Kenny Cargill "solon" <solon@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:463F832D-F976-472D-BF42-FC1322BCFC76@microsoft.com... > hi > tks for the advise, > i wonder this is a vcd player, but my problem now is the dvd rom can't > even > read the data cd! it show an empty disk!! but it is woth some date files > like > jpg etc. > > anyway will try to install it & see what happen > > tks > -- > solon > > > "Kenny" wrote: > >> Maybe you haven't got the right codecs to play VCD, try VLC Player, it >> handles most video file types. >> http://filehippo.com/download_vlc/ >> >> -- >> Kenny Cargill >> >> >> >> >> "solon" <solon@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:8A91008C-9217-47E6-B024-C0CA543BED5A@microsoft.com... >> > hi >> > >> > i just got my sony notebook reinstall the xp fm the recovery cd, & >> > found >> > out >> > that the cd writer only able to read dvd but not vcd any more! or even >> > play >> > vcd movie on it! >> > only dvd working >> > >> > anyone met this problem before & anyone ca help me on this case? >> > >> > -- >> > solon >> >> >>
