Actually, that's a pretty good guess at what the problem might be, but in all my tests with this issue, all the same DVDs that will play continue to play each time I put them in the drive, and all the DVDs that will not play continue to be the ones that will not play, so the problem seems to be consistent. I've tried two or three times testing each of the DVDs that won't play, taking them out of the disk drive and putting them back in. None of these DVDs are warped and all of them are clean.

This does not seem to be a problem with the software driver for the disk drive since some of the DVDs will play. there is no wind up sound and nothing at all happens on the computer screen. but I've allowed all the others that will not play to sit in the DVD disk drive for several minutes each in my tests and nothing at all happens. The DVDs that will play on my computer wind up (you can hear the sound) in the DVD drive within about 20 seconds and they start playing automatically in the Windows Media Player. The DVDs that play just fine in my Phillips DVD player on my TV that won't play on my computer don't even seem to wind up to play on my computer. market and some of them are from the Asian market, so I don't think that has anything to do with why some of these DVDs will not play on my computer. Some of the DVDs that will play on my computer are from the U.S. This computer has a SAMSUNG HD161HJ SCSI DVD/CD Disk Drive. ALL of these DVDs play in my Phillips DVD player that is connected to my TV.īut only some of these DVDs will play in my DVD player that is in my Dell Inspiron 531 computer with Windows 7 Ultimate.
