Windows 7 - Can't Play DVDs

Can't Play DVDs

For some reason my DVD rom drive isn't working anymore. I'm guessing it's a software issue as it can see the DVD but just can't play them.


Any ideas on how to fix this?

Try VLC, does it load or freeze up loading?

I have a Sony AD-7261S-0B DVD rom bruner. I can load games from it fine but somehow it doesn't like DVDs.

You could try updating the driver, but does ripping the DVD produce a playable .ISO? You can use DVD Shrink or DVD Fab.
