Hi all,

The content of a Chinese DVD that was burned using Ashampoo Burning Studio by another computer using LITE-ON DVDRW SHM-165P6S.

The DVD can be opened by that computer successfully without any Mojibake.

But when I would like to open it on a HP notebook, it could not read the content of the DVD. It even states that the DVD is 0 bytes. May I know how can I access the content of a Chinese DVD on this notebook?

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Try to change DVD region.
Start >> Control Panel >> System >> Hardware tab >> Device Manager
>> Righ click on your DVDrom >> Properties >> DVD Region tab
Change to Malaysia

Give it a try!

the dvd reading head sensitive is it? o bytes mean cant detect the dvd d...

Thanks, leetran,

By the way, the DVD-RAM drive that cannot read that Chinese DVD is HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4084N. The current region is not selected.

Changing region will be permanent after 5 times. I guess I don't want to take that risk.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I guess you cant do anything except bare with it

It should be your hp laptop DVD-Rom problem

try install the asia language option in ur laptop region/country setting there.

1. u can try to install the language pack under control panel -> regional settings -> language pack

2. u can try apps like DVD Region Free -> http://www.dvdidle.com/dvd-region-free.htm to make sure ur counter doesnt get any lower. or u can try http://tdb.rpc1.org/ to flash ur firmware but wrong move would result in irrepairable damage to ur DVDRom
