I have to wonder however, if your drive is not working right. Playing for a while and then stopping is kind of suspect about the drive. |
Okay, something new has developed.
I uninstalled the VCLan thing and re-installed it.
I then tried to play ALL OF MY DVDS. and when I pop in a dvd, the options come up and I try and select VLC thing and it get the failure message.
However!!!
If I pop in the dve, and I x out the options, and I go to my computer, and I see 'AVATAR in the E drive, I right click on it and select "open with VLC" and it opens and then it it is a (I don't know how to explain this), but dvd plays but it sounds like people are gargling when they talk, and the dvd moves slowly, in spurts.
This happens with ALL of my dvds.
So VLC works but it doesn't work.
I am now going to go online and find another dvd player thing.
If I succeed, I succeed, if I don't, and I don't know how I can test my dvd lightscribe thing to see if it's actually the lightscribe thing or the VLC player itself.
Well, maybe when your son comes home, he can give a few tips.
I only wish I had a better relationship with my own son, the computer genius. If I told him this, he would say "See, I told you life sucks and why do we exist??"
sigh!!!
