Can anyone help me play new dvds on my dvd-rom?

[anleja]

I am having a hissy-fit over these fucking new movies that won't play on my dvd-rom. I went to the MGM site and the info they gave was that it wasn't the fault of the dvd for not playing, it was just that I did not have the proper driver installed. Okay... well the Samsung website is not helping me one bit. Can anyone here help me out? I've tried a new MGM movie and a new Fox movie, among others, that will not even get read by my computer. I put the movie in and... nothing. It spins around for a few seconds, is all.

I have a... Samsung DVD-ROM SD-616T. I can play pretty much any movie that was released longer than a half year ago.

Thank you!

Looks like your drive model is quite old. Try the link below.

Hope the new firmware can fix it. Use Nero Info Tool to check on the drive's current firmware first.

Caution: update/flash firmware at your own risk. Don't come looking for me if the drive doesn't work after you update.

I found out that the drive will not read dual-layer dvds. So... time for a new drive, I guess.
