Hitachi DVD...

[AlienDyne]

What's happening with those HITACHI DVDs?
I have enough problems with them lately!
Listen to this:
The day before yesterday, a customer brought me his machine, saying he couldn't watch a single movie. He had PowerDVD 2.0
Ok...I checked it and no results.
Then I uninstalled it and installed PowerDVD 1.22.
I put a movie in and played perfectly. I left it playing the whole movie. No problems.
Yesterday he brought it back saying the same things. I tested it with the same movie and couldn't play. The error message?
"There's no disk in drive * "
What happened? He said he didn't do anything, just tried to watch a movie.

Ok. The configuration:
PII built machine, Hitachi DVD-ROM 2500, ATI vga (compatible of course with DVD - No MPEG card needed).

I've checked almost everything: DMA settings, drivers, software...

I'm thinking if it's the DVD drive that's doing all that.

Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Ati has great support with dvd's on the card.
Try using their dvd player.

I have a CL 5x and tried power dvd and the sound never worked. I'm now always using windvd.

Thanks for your help Jman.
I've already tried ATI DVD Player. The same problems. I've also checked another Hitachi DVD drive. The problem persists.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot one again....
