I'm tryimgto watch Inglorious Bastards on DVD (legit copy from Sainsburys) and it will not work. Just spinning in the drive and flashing up a no disc.

Anyone know if copy protected DVDs will not work on PCs or is my DVD drive dying?

Help

is you region set to UK? Just a thought - maybe just an incompatabilityissue?

it's previously played about 15 different UK shop bought DVDs before, never known how to/bothered to set a region.

I put the DVD in, a box pops up, click 'PLAY' and watch. Not happening with the discs I've just bought ๐Ÿ™‚

Have you tried cleaning the drive with something like [url= http://www.amazon.com/Allsop-23321-Carbon-Edge-CD-Drive-Cleaner/dp/B00000J1QM ]this[/url]?

Its worth checking the dvd in a proper dvd player, if you don't have one then ask a mate. Rules out a bad dvd. Also double check a previously working dvd still works in the laptop, lets you check that the laptop's not suddenly gone faulty. Also what software are you using? Try vlc player. You may need to google as i can't link from my phone. Sorry! Let us know how it goes!
