DVD drive doesn't like FMA disk 4??

Post by Songbird21 » Sat Sep 20, 2008 3:27 am

I can play it in the DVD player but not in my DVD drive. I don't get it. The rest of the FMA series ripped beautifully, but for some unknown reason my computer won't even recognize that disk 4 is in the drive. :( I don't get it. Why won't my comp play it if my DVD player plays it just fine.

I need the footage off this DVD for my new drama vid. Help please!

Have you tried ripping any other discs after the #4 failed?
Did this #4 disc play on your DVD player both before and after it failed on the DVD drive of your computer?

Not yet. But I may have to at this rate.

Did the disc rip on the other computer? or did you have the same problem?

If it worked on your sister's comp and the files are there, put them on a flash drive that's big enough to hold the footage and move it over to your comp, problem solved.
