To burn cd/dvd you have to check :

1. Your laptop cd/dvd drive have what capability:
- cd writer = only burn cd
- cd writer/dvd reader(combo) = still only burn cd
- dvd writer = can burn cd, dvd single layer(4GB)
- dvd DL writer = can burn cd and dvd single 4GB and dual layer 8GB.
Other than those, is not possible.

2. Must have burn apps named:
- Nero
- Alcohol 120%
- other. search internet.

If you have them then using the apps to burn, just read the manual.

Koam114 is in Korean. I don't understand :)
But If you want songs from website, you should download it first.
Unless the site is giving you a step by step how to burn songs directly to your cd/dvd.
Once downloaded, would be easier to burn to cd/dvd.

Hi pedroza69...
Make sure you have some softwear on your computer that plays DVD's...
If you do not then you can download a free player at the following website.

Just restore your system from a backup taken before the error code started. If you have no backup then you need to format your hard disk and do a complete reinstall of all your software.

It does not have a Blu-Ray player, or that's what the specs say. You have a OPTICAL DRIVE*DVD-SuperMulti drive (+/-R double layer) Found here:http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/L740/L745-S4210/

You need a piece of software to play DVD movies. Is this an actual DVD movie, or is it an MP4 or WMV/WMA file?

Usually you need something like WinDVD to play a DVD movie. I don't think Media Player can play those.

Did you recently install another piece of software that might have affected your ability to play DVDs?

If you know the DVD and the DVD drive is in proper working order, it could mean that the software you are running just may have some problems. Try downloading a copy of VLC (VideoLan Client) this application is free and open source (and no it's not something I created and am just trying to get people to use...it's just something that works great, and completely free) VLC can play almost any video file or DVD that it encounters. If VLC can't play it, I would think it's likely there may be something with your disk or your DVD drive.

Hello
OK, the link below will give you step by step instructions on how to play DVD's using your laptop. The link below will explain for Windows XP, if you have another operating system, you should be able to follow similar steps.

Hi,
The problem may be with,
1. Graphics driver installed in your laptop
2. The Video file which you are trying to play may got corrupted.
3. The player you are using to play the vedio may not have proper codec to play the file
solutions:
1. Reinstall the graphics driver for your laptop
2. Try playing some other vedio files
3. Install VLC player and try playing using this player as it supports most of the vedio formats and even plays corrupted vedio files.
I hope this is helpful to you.

open windows media player, go to file and look for the open disc and click your cd rom drive. it will automatically read the dvd inside your cd rom

dvd players play vob or mp4 format. so try "convert x to dvd" software to burn your dvds in the right format http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/

Bonjour, Le mieux reste d'aller chez le r?parateur pourvoir ce qui ne va pas et agir en cons?quence, mais il est possible que vous soyez oblig? de changer certaines pi?ces alors j'esp?re que ceci vous sera utile: https://www.distriphone.com/en/5584-Toshiba-Laptop-Parts

1. your device is not a 'DVD-ROM' device, nor a 'CD-RW/DVD-ROM' combo device.
2. you need software, such as the free 'VLD' software, to decode the DVD, and to "play" the video.
3. your DVD-disk is scratched -- will it play in some other computer or stand-alone DVD-player?

Some Toshiba's can be convinced to bypass the startup BIOS password if you hold down the <LEFT-SHIFT> key while booting the system.

Toshiba does not have a download of DVD software.

Try VLC player it plays DVDs fine and its free!
www.videolan.org/vlc

try re-installing the device drivers to sort the problem

The newer dvd's often won't play on older machines. The easiest solution is to download and install the VLC Media Player. The VLC Media Player is an open source free player and can be downloaded here.

Hope this solves the problem.

Check the Toshiba site for updated drivers for your dvd player. Also check the recall section for your particular model dvd player. They had several that were recalled.

follow these directions to reinstall realplayer properly
