    DVR won't play all movies
    Hello everyone, I rented a movie and I could not get it to play. I got the downloading sign and then a pop up came up and it said "Please eject disc" and " Playback feature may not be available on this disc". I tried another DVD that I had purchased and it played OK. So I took it back to the rental store and they gave me another disc. It did the same, so I took it back and the girl told me maybe my DVR would not play movie made by Universial Production. I picked out another movie by a different Company and it played. Has anyone ever heard of this happening before and is there anything I can do?

    Whatever format the movie was burned in may not be the format your DVD player recognizes. Not all DVD players recognize all formats. There are at least a dozen formats that are used now. I find this all the time when I download movies off the P2P share files and find that I have to download another codec for the movie to play in my computer. You may want to play the movie on your computer as a last resort so you can at least view it. If the movie won't play on your computer then I suggest downloading more codecs from the internet to get it to play on the computer.
