Some DVDs Won't play
I have 2 Compaq computers (desktop & laptop) the DVD players usually work
fine. Occasionally when I try & play a DVD I get an error message saying no compatible DVD player is found. It does it on either machine but plays fine on a stand alone DVD player. Some main stream movies have done this. Are there different formats? Is there anything I can do about it? -- Thanks in advance... Bob |

Some main stream movies have done this. Are there different formats? Is there anything I can do about it? There are +R and -R DVD formats. Some DVD players will only accept one of them, not both. I suppose the options would be to get a different DVD player or only use compatible DVD disks. Or I suppose if you have a DVD burner, you might copy the incompatible DVD disk onto a new DVD disk in a compatible format. Another possibility is the new double-layer DVD format, and I really don't know what it's compatible with. -- skydiver (this space intentionally left blank) P.S.
