My laptop is driving me mad!!it will only play certain dvds,like I bought a dvd a few wks ago and the dvd drive doesnt recognise it,it keeps saying please insert a dvd,but then I put another 1 in and it plays just fine,I bought another dvd yesturday and the same thing happens,yet it works just fine in my sons laptop,why is this?
The reason the DVD's don't play on one laptop - or dvd player - is usually the regional encoding that's built into the DVD player itself (or computer). There are I think 5 regions...DVD's from the region that your dvd player is from (eg, the USA) will play fine. But, if you buy a real, non pirated DVD from a store in say, Tokyo, it may not play, as it'll be a different region that the DVD player you're trying to play it on.
Some computers allow you to change the region it's set to...however you can only do that a few times, as they're trying to combat piracy, which is why you can't switch it anytime you like. Sorry it took a while for you to get a thorough explanation of the problem.
Do you use the software which called iMacsoft iPod to Mac Transfer ever before? It can do a lot. 1. iPod to Mac, iPod to Mac transfer, iPod to Mac software Rip, copy and manage iPod music, videos, photos, podcasts and TV Shows between iPod/iPhone and Mac.

im not really sure exactly but from what I've heard from friends some dvds just cause problems in different laptop\pc's, sorry dont have an answer =\
some disks have a PC protection burned onto them so to help combat piracy...
there is ways of getting past them
