| Thanks for the tips Satcomer.
From the top down.
The first tip about the throwing out the DVDPlayer.plist. I couldn't find it. I went into the Preferences folder and DVDPlayer wasn't there. dockfixup.plist and driver.ApplelRController.plist were there but not the DVDplayer.
I also checked the Disc Burning, and everything is fine. every part says yes Except the last one 'Media'. but i don't think this has anything to do with the player not playing movie DVDs.
Lastly I tried the Cleaning. The only thing i had with me was the compressed air. AND "it worked once". I used the compressed air into the DVD drive, then I insert a DVD that didn't work yesterday. The spinning sound didn't go as fast as normal but the DVD icon popped up on the desktop, and the DVD player started to play the movie.
I thought i fixed the problem so and took that DVD out and put in another one. It didn't work this time. I put back the one that worked and it didn't work neither. so in total it only worked once right after the first compressed air try.
sounds to me it's not a software problem anymore since that one blow fixed it for once...but I'm no expert on this.
If anyone can think of something else to try please help me out.  |
