VLC player is not reading my DVD disc drive

Postby video45 » 22 Apr 2024 02:53

Hi
I was having problems with my VLC player on my Windows 10 laptop and decided to re-install the app. Now the VLC player does not even read the DVD drive.

Does anyone have any suggestion as to what can be done to make the VLC player read the disc drive.

Specs: Windows 10, laptop

Thanks

First, reboot your computer, then reset the preferences and cache (the manual way) and try again:

Hi
I manually deleted the preferances and caches

The VLC player still does not read the DVD drive.

Thanks

Menu Media -> Open Disc
Then make sure to tick the correct disc option (Audio CD or DVD, etc) in the Disc Selection and the correct drive letter in Disc Device.
