When I try to run the Software Cinemaster software DVD player it starts Compression Agent instead, need fix.

No. At this time DVD movies are region specific, which means a movie purchased in Europe is not compatible with a North American DVD player, and vice-versa.

Yes, if your computer has the right stuff. The computer operating system or playback software must support regional codes and be licensed to descramble copy-protected movies. If the computer has TV video out, it must support Macrovision in order to play copy-protected movies. You may also need software that can read the MicroUDF file system format used by DVDs.

First of all, please turn off your anti-virus software and other burning applications which might access the CD/DVD units at the same time. Try a different brand of recordable media. The compability of DVD discs is various and burning DVD-Video is very sensitive to the DVD disc. Here is the information on DVD media compability http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia . We recommend you use 4x or 8x DVD+R for burning. Another problem can be you are not using the right type of disc for your player.

First of all: Make sure you're not playing your DVD's on a CD player (yes it's happened to several of my customers). You must have a DVD drive. Make sure that you have DVD software installed on your computer (with your DVD player). For example InterVideo WinDVD or MediaMatics. Try download.com and search for DVD player. Otherwise please contact me at orion@photoshopdesigner.com and I will work with you or forward the problem to my outsourcers.

For Video CD, your DVD player must be capable of playing VideoCD 2.0 discs. Check the specifications page in the instructions included with your DVD player to see if the VCD format is supported. Your DVD player must be compatible with the type of DVD or CD disc used to record your title. Many DVD players are not compatible with some brands of -R, -RW, +R or +RW discs. Your DVD player must support the speed at which you burned your media.

If the copied DVD is a DVD?RW, try copying the source DVD to a DVD?R disc which is compatible with more models of DVD drives and DVD players.

You need to have the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack or Real Alternative installed. The 'RealMedia DirectShow filter' and 'RealMedia codecs' that come with these two packages are required.

To play DVDs in Windows Media Player (version 9, 10 or 11) you need a MPEG-2 decoder that is capable of decoding DVD video and is also compatible with WMP. The K-Lite Codec Pack contains a compatible decoder. Some examples of compatible decoders are: Cyberlink, DScaler5, InterVideo, MainConcept and nVidia PureVideo. There are two types of MPEG video, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. The most common one of these two that is used in .mpg/.mpeg files is MPEG-1.

While VCD, SVCD, DVD, MPEG1, MPEG2, DVD-R, and CD-R are widely accepted worldwide standards, we do not guarantee that our media will playback on your specific systems. You are responsible for resolving any compatibility issues between your DVD player and our CD or DVD-R media and audio / video formats. Please refer to your owner's manual, other third-party compatibility lists, or your equipment manufacturer.

Not all component DVD player support SuperVCD playback. To find out if your DVD player supports SVCD go here:

Over 98% of DVD players on the market support our DVD format. If you purchased your player in the last 2 to 3 years, you will have no problem playing your DVD in your DVD player on on a computer that has a DVD drive. If your DVD and it does not work with your player, simply return the DVD to us, and we'll exchange it for a VHS copy.

Nearly all DVD players are DVD-R compatible. Particularly those sold in the last couple of years. You should check your individual model for compatibility before ordering. If you have an older DVD player that is not DVD-R compatible you might want to treat yourself a more modern machine that will accept all formats. They can be bought for under $50.00.

Most newer DVD players will play the discs we create without a problem. We maintain a list of compatible players. If you have any doubt about the ability of your player to play our discs, please contact us and we will check your player against our compatability list.
