DVD plays with distorted sound/video, others fine... Rililk 15.06.2007 04:31:00 I just recently bought a DVD box set and all the DVDs play with distorted audio and video on my computer. Other dvds play just fine but this particular box set doesnt, there are no scratches on the disks, all drivers/players are up to date. On top of that, they play FINE in my home dvd player hooked up to my television... anyone got any ideas? the drive is a Lite-on SOHC-5236V btw

(not really a Mac WMP question then ;-) ). Can you play it properly in VLC Media Player??

Re: DVD plays with distorted sound/video, others fine... Rililk 16.06.2007 00:39:01 my computer is a PC, am i in the wrong forum then? sorry if i am... The dvd does the same as described in VLC, the pre-menu segments and menu segments appear and sound fine. once i choose an episode or press play from the start menu, the video is distorted, appears pixelated and grey or green in some areas at random, and the sound is just as distorted, with on-time, or too fast instances. Another thing to mention is the light on the DVDrom blinks in unison with the activities on the screen, (ie constant video and sound distortion). All DVDs have NO scratches whatsoever... does this help some more? "Corentin Cras-Méneur" wrote: [Quoted Text] > That's in "DVD Player"??

Another thing Really weird. VLC doesn't use the same framework as WMP (I assume then that you used WMP to play your DVD on Windows). I wonder what in the DVD would make *both* fail. > to mention is the light on the DVDrom blinks in unison with the > activities on the screen, (ie constant video and sound distortion). Try to clean the DVD (always from the center to the periphery and preferably with one of these microfiber cloths designed to clean LCD screens).Don't EVER put any solvent on it, > All DVDs have NO scratches whatsoever... does this help some more? It could still be something to small for your eye to notice but big enough to interfere with the laser.
