can't play my dvd

Post by soni1086 »

Any player I use, or if I try to copy/rip the dvd I get the similar error and i.e. something like "could not read the resource". All my commercial dvds play very well, except this one. Its a newly bought one. This annoying error just doesn't go, no matter what forums I visit, what methods I try.

When I try playing my dvd, it plays only till the menu screen and after that either nothing happens or the same error appears.

If the problem is only with the one DVD and not with all or most DVDs, it is probably a bad DVD and not the fault of the player.

The other possibility is that you accidentally bought a DVD that your hardware is not capable of playing, such as a Blu-ray DVD which will not play on a standard DVD player.
