Question
hi Cleggsan I put a cd in to my cd room and its also a dvd on the cd it takes me to the prgram main program but when I want to play the music videos it won't let me nothing happens
I put another cd with dvd on it in and it worked just fine
could it be the cd maybe being scatched? help thanx
If it is a homemade cd/dvd it may not have the right coding for your player - whereas the one that works okey maybe coded compatible with your player. And, if the bad disc was a one-of from someone doing a dvdr they may not have closed it down correctly or finalized the recordings TOC.
And, yes, it may be scratches or defects on the surface of the disc - you can usually see them with the naked eye if you hold the disc up and let the light shine off the surface.
That help? Let me know more if you need.
