whenever i put a DVD movie into my pioneer 16X dvd-rom after a few seconds it just spits it back out.
i'm running XP, i have the region set to 1. i have the intervideo codec installed, and am using zplayer to play the movie(if it ever works).
the drive works fine with regular CDs, including divx movies.
hope you all can help

if it´s a burned DVD , maybe a wrong format ?
burned with failure?

if original
tried another region ?

try http://www.videolan.org/
if it does spit it out again what happens if you copy the DVD with windows explorer / normal disc image ?

it's an original dvd and i've tried a few to make sure it's just not a bad dvd.
i only have one more time to change the region so i'de rather not try that. besides the region for all my dvd are 1

i can't copy the disk because the drive spits it out after a few seconds, never giving me the chance to do anything with it.

i dont think it's the player because i first had it associated to auto play with media player, then i tried zoom player. so i'm pretty sure videolan wont make any difference

the best thing to do now would be to pull out the DVD drive and try it on a friends pc, so that you can easily check if it is a software or a hardware problem
