It looks like a slide show, if that's what you mean...\nAbout how great, it depends on the T.V., and the picture taken.

Windows XP's media player supports playing DVD's, but it does not come with the codec. (always sounded strange to me) Just install any DVD player software like PowerDVD, WinDVD... any DVD player like that will install the necessary codec... even if you don't use the software. Then media player will play it.\n\nTry to stay away from those "Free codecs". I've seen lots of them cause damage to systems.\n\nYou have a DVD drive. They usually come with DVD player software.

You can take a soft paper towel and rub it in the CD or DVD and it might work

cd+g can be used as Karaoke and need a player that is compatible to view them. Many stand alone dvd players should play them\nYou need to burn them on a CDR\n\nSome links for you to browse through

I use  a program that's called  ADS TECH 'DVD EXPRESS'. It works really well. It's basically a modulator that hooks up to the computer. You can hook up your television, your VCR, camera or camcorder to it and upload all movies or images. It records them to a file of your choice or you can transfer them directly to a disc. And they play beautifully on your DVD player. I did this for christmas. I made a disc for each of my children with pics of them when they were young and old home movie footage. They loved it. There are several programs out there you can also go to a computer store and ask someone about different software depending on what your needs are. By the way, the above software costs about $50 to $70. Hope this helped. I should also add that the program allows you to create your own titles and backgrounds, special effects and such. With menu pages as well. Just like an actual DVD.

You need the DivX codec to play DVD movies.\n\nYou can either get just the codec for Windows Media Player, or you can download the DivX player.

If your cd drive is a DVD reader then you should be able to use default windows software to play dvds on computer.  I usually watch DVDs with windows media player.  Also if you need other software hardware like that usually comes with some sort of disk.

No. A CD ROM will *only* read music or data CDs unless it's a Writer, too. Then you can 'write' CDs with it in addition to simply reading them.\n\nYou need a DVD reader to read and/or play DVDs as well as CDs. There are also DVD reader/writers on the market, too, but they are more expensive because they'll read/write both CDs and DVDs.\n\nOnce you have a DVD reader installed, you will need software to use it with such as WinDVD or PowerDVD. I, personally, prefer PowerDVD. It's a pay program but only about $30, tops.

I bought a cheap one and yes it will work. You just need to know if your DVD player plays DVD+R or DVD-R or both. Then buy media according to that. Most I believe play in DVD+R. Also, any DVD burner you buy will also burn CD's.

It is entirely possible to play an .ISO file of a DVD on a computer.  One free program to do so is called "Video LAN", and is available for download at:\nhttp://www.videolan.org/

We'll need more information to attempt to answer your question.  The DVD-Rom drive should be able to read CDs.  If it doesn't there are many possible causes.\n\n1.  Failed DVD-Rom drive.  Will it play DVDs?\n2.  Virus or spyware infection.\n3.  Various anti-pirating software from commercial CDs.\n\nSo, when did it stop reading CDs?  What were you doing when it happened?  What software had you just installed?\n\nAnswers to these questions might help get you an answer.

Any DVD player software should have a Capture Picture feature...except for Windows Media Player I think.

Yes, but you can't put them onto DVDs. You can get a program which will take the image of the DVD, called Alcohol 120%\nIt copies the DVD, then will make a "virtual drive", basically tricking the computer into thinking it has another drive, which the program will then play the DVD on. It works just like a real DVD, but you don't need a physical copy of it. It'll do the same thing with CDs.
