So I bought a Photoshop crash course DVD (2 DVD's in the set) that is created by a professional photographer. I popped the first disc into my Pioneer DVD player that's probably about 5-6 years old now. After a couple of seconds, I got a message that said, "Can't Read Disc". I then popped the same disc into my HP laptop which I bought refurbished a couple of weeks ago. It's equipped with a BluRay player and it couldn't read that as well. I tried playing the disc on my work computer and it worked perfectly. Interestingly enough, the second disc works absolutely perfectly on all the machines I've tried it on. So I tried the first disc on my laptop tonight and magically it loaded and worked. I tried it on my DVD player and I still get the same "Can't Read Disc" message. After popping it back into my laptop, it for some reason wasn't working. And I JUST popped it in again and it worked. I know it's confusing but does anyone have any friggin clue on why this keeps happening? Is it an anomaly with the disc since the second disc works perfectly fine? I exchanged e-mails with the guy I purchased the DVD's from and he says they test out the DVDs on a few machines and he's never received a complaint. Any help or theories would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
sounds like a faulty disc,get them to replace it. or if its working on your pc rip it and burn it onto a new disc,personally i'd return it though.
Well, make sure it's clean, sans smudges and all that, before spending too much time trying to get a replacement. Sometimes it can be that easy.
