Why CD and DVD discs don't work

We have all notice how computer players and recorders seem to handle heavily looked scratched discs. Some can even still play until the laser tracking reaches a deep grove locks up the disc in stubborn freeze frame.

A dull surface will do it. Before you insert or remove it, check the sliver play side for a dull surface. When they get dull the surface is often not reflective enough for the laser. It isn't reflected properly if not even not at all. New discs show how surfaces should be. It is suppressing polishing highly scratched looking discs looking like new works wonders even on fussy players. Pay attention to closely looking for little marks and spots.

Dodgy player or computer keyboard keys can be problematic in interfering with auto play functions. Computer operating system trouble shooter systems record theses as stop errors. They are due to a jammed, broken or collapsed button or keyboard key stuck on mode shorting the auto play function. It pays to pay closer attention to the buttons and get a second option on the button control conditions and properly fixed by an expert. Bad chassis cracks will do it. If you think back at any time you may accidentally knocked your computer and it seemed to function all right. In time takes it's tool on the knock catching up with it.

As for record able discs formatted by one computer and played back in a different computer will do that. All it takes is any computer that doesn't have a similar same software not recognize the disc format.

Recorded play back not responding is common of corruption due to interruption in the middle of recording. Optical discs are not like hard drives or our flash drive memory sticks. We can cancel or pull out of the USB socket in the middle of a recording session at any time with out corrupting those. We can start again. The operating system just deletes the original as it records, but optical disks don't work that way. There is no ability of optical discs to delete the interruption let a lone record over. The interruption is permanent missing data play back cannot read back.

Once a recording session is under way they cannot be interrupted in any way. You cannot cancel because it is an interruption of data resulting in cannot be read back. If any record able disc cannot be read back is a dead give away it had been corrupted by an interruption in the middle of the recording session somehow, either by the user manually, a spot on the surface was not reflective enough for the lazar or by a stop error from one of a shorting multimedia button.

Brand new record able blanks are no worries. Laid around for weeks though, before you burn it use a classes or similar cloth to polish up a bit. Don't scrounged hard circles. Just polish to looking like a new one looks. It's suppressing how a highly looking scratched discs can polish up looking like a new and play and read data perfectly provided there are no hidden mechanical stop errors in the keyboard keys or player buttons effected it.
