I have over the last 24 hrs tried to play 4 various dvds on my pc dvd player each one of them has failed to play
my region codes are set correctly and i have tried numerous amounts of software [ie] Win dvd v4.0, Power Dvd , NvDvd, one of the titles has even loaded a pc friendly program on my pc Power dvd tells me the disc may be scratched or damaged but the disc is new and the others just wont recognise a disc is in my drive i am using a sony dvd+rw to play the discs and have other dvds that will play in it
In mad frustration i even tried to rip the movie to my hard drive to try to play in file mode but even the rip program i am using wont access the discs [clad + smart rip]
Is this a new type of protection on these discs to stop them being played in a pc or am i missing out on something

!!! please help thanks in advance !!!

Download, unzip, and run this program. If you have an ASPI layer it should show up.

If so, what is it? If not...follow Pokopiko's advice and download it. I recommend (as does Poko) version 4.60, as version 4.70 and 4.71 are problematic with some hardware.

Download ForceASPI v1.17 (it contains ver 4.60). You can get it at the main site. Just click on the "home" link on the bottom of this page... Downloads\CDR Tools\ASPI.

Give this a try and report back.

Ok dxkim i have downloaded the aspi checker and run it, it tells me the following information
WNASPI 32DLL v4.711(0)
WINASPI.DLL v4.60 (1021)
ASPI32SYS v4.711(0)
WOWPOST.EXE v4.60 (1021)
aspi is not properly installed one or more components have been replaced with older versions of the software

Click to expand...
IMHO, i mean that it's correct. Only WNASPI 32DLL and
ASPI32SYS are updated when you install new aspi 4.7xx. Older Aspicheck.exe (like that posted here) say "aspi is not properly installed one or more components have been replaced with older versions of the software", but newer Aspicheck (that comes with aspi 4.7xx pack) say that "aspi is properly installed and fully ...." ...
BTW, it's possible that older aspi solves your problem ... I hope so

So far so good friends i have managed to play some discs ok but some still will not the ones that wont play are hired ones from our famous dvd hirers blockbuster this is why in my first post i asked the question is there a new type of protection on these discs to stop them being played in a pc as it seems strange that they will not play but purchased ones will ?????? now there a food for thought
thanks again everyone for your help Scorch

DVD problems ?

I have read this thread and have to ask 1st what kind of DVD drive do you have ??? Is it region free or not??? Are all DVD's marked to same region ??? If NOT and your drive is hopefully RPC-1 = Region free drive, are you using DVD region killer ??? I myself use elby's free one (cause I have RPC-1 DVD drive), but I have also understood that the other from some "other" can be also hack this problem when you are using RPC-2 drives...
