| 635348 | 2008-01-30 06:39:00 | Hi all I have made a DVD from a home movie and want to transfer it onto my PC for editing. It plays fine on the DVD player in the lounge, but not in the DVD drives on any of the PCs I have. When inserted, it shows up in My Computer as 'CD Drive' and the icon shows 'DVD-RW'. OS's tried on are all Win XP Home/Pro SP2. DVD player is a Panasonic one. Disc Speed: 1-2x; DVD-RW disc. How can I get the DVD to play? |

| 635351 | 2008-01-30 19:39:00 | What program are you using to attempt to play the DVD on in the PC's - and can you double click, or right click the DVD and see its contents ? | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 635353 | 2008-01-30 20:29:00 | I think VLC will play DVDs or if you download a codec pack like K-Lite, that will allow DVD playback too. | autechre (266) | ||
