the drive works fine with regular CDs, including divx movies.
hope you all can help :)

OP
it's an original dvd and i've tried a few to make sure it's just not a bad dvd.
i only have one more time to change the region so i'de rather not try that. besides the region for all my dvd are 1

i can't copy the disk because the drive spits it out after a few seconds, never giving me the chance to do anything with it.

i dont think it's the player because i first had it associated to auto play with media player, then i tried zoom player. so i'm pretty sure videolan wont make any difference

the best thing to do now would be to pull out the DVD drive and try it on a friends pc, so that you can easily check if it is a software or a hardware problem
