lolzomg here we go again
you all know im sh1te at pcs.
now i cant even watch dvds anymore...
worked fine till a couple of days ago when i put a long lost dvd in and it went all laggy of sorts, the sound is okay the image is very laggy, not matching the sound and all the bad stuff...
please help?
lolzomg i could do a reformat again but somehow i think i wrecked the dvd drive, it always makes weird sound anyway lol
can you switch that on a laptop or do i have to get a new dvd player (for sds tv lul)
so please help :blush:
Is the DVD disk clean? Can you play a clean/new dvd? Try another media player
to play your disk from,(winamp/foobar2000/windows media player/power DVD etc)
can you check the dvd on another PC or DVD player?
If you can get hole of an external DVD drive, connect by USB and see if this works.
Sounds like you could either have a dodgey media play, DVD disk or DVD drive.

tried VLC, PowerDVD, MediaPlayer with the same effect

lolzomg is there actually something like this out there? :blush:
i had the same problem! long time ago.. i´m trying to remember what i did, to make it work.. I´ll get back to you on that one!
and a question: Is the dvd laggy in all formats? Fullscreen laggy, small screen no lag?
1. reinstall itunes if you removed it.
2. try installing the k-lite codec pack, shouldnt help really but i say its worth a try, cant really hurt can it

laggy in all formats im afraid
itunes never caused trouble and i havent de installed it lately...
sounds like a f3cked drive then.
lay it on me.
what do i need to watch dvds?
i dont get the sellers description of 4x12x500xwhateverx...
:)
This sometimes works.. Try putting you Resolution to Maximum size and test the DVD, then try Minimum.. 640x.. etc.. I had a problem with my DVD because my resolution somehow caused trouble with DVD´s .. it worked for me, when i put it on biggest size..
Could be it.. It´s worth trying:) If this doesnt make it better, then buy a new drive:)
