| 674466 | 2008-06-01 05:47:00 | Do you know if you can buy this one of the cars on CD or are they all DVD? | toodles (13818) | ||
| 674467 | 2008-06-01 05:52:00 | It depends on the type of game - however many newer mainstream games are on DVD these days, particularly those with a lot of graphic detail. You don't need to use a game to test with though - if you put a standard movie DVD in, you should see at least two folders when you open it (AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS), although due to the encryption you won't be able to read any of the files. Cars is likely to be DVD-only. In the past, some major games were released on both types of media, but this rarely happens these days - almost everyone in the target audience has a DVD drive already. |

| 674468 | 2008-06-01 06:05:00 | Ok I put in a dvd movie but nothing has come up at all. When I look at the from of my hardrive it says lightscribe DVD+writer if that is any help. |

| 674469 | 2008-06-01 06:10:00 | Are you sure you have a DVD drive. I just went to another forum and a person has the same problem and someone asked them if they had a DVD drive and he said no just CD drive doh. Yes you can search round other forums with problems for this game by using google. Seems to be a few problems with it. :) |

| 674470 | 2008-06-01 06:11:00 | If you put a DVD movie in, but the 'right-click>>open' thing displays nothing, then your drive is most probably stuffed. Get someone to look at it before you write it off though - it should take less than 5 mins to figure out if the drive really is faulty. A software problem is unlikely, but possible. Are you sure you have a DVD drive. I just went to another forum and a person has the same problem and someone asked them if they had a DVD drive and he said no just CD drive doh.I was thinking the same thing as you earlier, but no - he says he has a drive calling itself a 'Lightscribe DVD+ Writer', and Windows identifies it as a DVD-RAM drive. |
