Skipping DVD's? Does anyone else have the issue of skipping DVD's?

No, but you can do what I do, use the anydvd program to extract the movie from the DVD then convert it to mp4 and put it on a usb hard disk and play it on the player.

I am having the same problem. It's saying something about playback might not be a feature on the DVD. Is there anything we can do to fix it?

I tried STOP STOP MENU after seeing your question. It worked for some DVD's, but not most.

Yes, press Stop button then press Menu button as soon as the DVD loads. I think it's called Direct Play feature.

We only use -R discs and can copy the DVD's w/o problem. We also know that the copies can't be altered.

I have the older version of this player and mine does that quite often, too. Not necessarily when I am playing DVDs, but when I am playing movies off of my hard drive. I have found no solution. SO frustrating.

yes I have done it. I started dubbing my sons dvd's just in case they get scratch, broke, and etc...so i don't have to go and buy the same movies over and over again. I keep the original safe and when the dvd is non usesable I just make him another. But since he got older to put the dvd in himself and scratching it up I tried puting it on usb and the clarity is the same as if it was on a dvd. but the flash drive only go to 16gb and I had more movies i wanted to put so I got a 250 portable hard drive and it is working perfectly. I also invested in a portable and home dvd player that is usb capatible so instead of me haveing 50 dvds, cases and cases of dvds. I have 1 portable hard drive with over 50 movies on it that I watch on my computer or regular tv. Some of the plasma come with usb ports so you don't even need a dvd player.

Thanks. Do you have a link to the software for ripping DVD's?If I want to rip a DVD, does the box indicate what file type the DVD is?

That's a software issue. As long as you have the software to utilize either the dvd files or an iso, you can burn it to dvd

I've never had a problem with CDs skipping, but I'm not sure if there's any sort of "anti skip" technology built into it.

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

Same problem as BookWorm but different player. I have tried 3 different copies of the mpvie Stranger than fiction (from the same video store) and not one would get past the selection menue on my PC or my new Philips dvd player. Ive only had a problem like this once before with the movie Layer Cake. I looked it up and its a Sony Pictures movie too. So maybe this is a problem with the actual DVDs and not the players? Or maybe Sony and Philips DVD players are having the same problems.

I have tried to do this with many dvds (by utilizing the disc program feature which is the only way I surmise one could play 5 movies w/o touching any buttons) with the same error message occuring once its time to go to the next disc or movie: "not allowed by disc." So that must mean disc manufacturers don't want you to advance to the next disc w/o clicking buttons or controls.

Hello. I have not had any problems with the DVD's or Blu-Rays I have bought. It has worked flawlessly every time. Perhaps it is possible to have trouble with homemade discs, but I have not tried any of mine in the player.

I haven't had a problem playing rented Blu Ray discs or DVDs after installing the most current driver. I've heard that several people had issues, but I wonder if it was related to the driver.
