Solved DVD Writer Problem

[lau0625]

Hello!
I have a toshiba satelite a300-1ec and i recently reinstalled windows vista.
The problem i have is that my DvdWriter doesn't recognize the dvd's that i played before the reinstallation of windows.The dvd discs that i use are Memorex DVD-R.I am very curios why this type of dvd was recognized before the re-installation of windows...(i was able to burn this type of dvd with no problems)...and now..after i installed windows it doesn't work anymore...Though i mention that the same type of dvd discs from pleomax samsung are playable(DVD-R).
I hope i explained my problem...and get some help!!!
Thanks...

It sounds like the issue isn't the Memorex DVD-R, but what you have recorded on them possibly. You may need to download and install the proper codecs for the format you are using.

If that doesnt work, check the drivers for your dvdwriter. They may need to be reinstalled as well.
Hope this helps you somewhat.

I solved the problem by installing another codec pack.
Although i was inspired to do that starting from your advice..
Thank you for the interest!
Have a nice day...or night:P
