Some DVDs Result in "The directory name is invalid", Show as - Microsoft Community


up until now, dvds i've attempted play in windows 10 computer have played successfully.

recently tried dvd failed play. upon inserting dvd either of 2 optical disk drives (one dvd-rw drive, other blu-ray-re drive) dvd appears blank dvd-r , seems register removable storage media, opposed dvd video disc.

in disk management disc appears dvd standard 4.16 gb size, file system/formatting listed "raw".

when attempt open disc in windows explorer/file explorer, shows blank.

sometimes, when insert dvd, receive prompt message "b: directory name invalid". oddly, did not happen recent time attempted use dvd, though other symptoms same described them here.

the twist here when attempt play exact same disc on other systems, it works fine.

my hp laptop 2007 running windows 7 plays fine.

my dedicated set-top dvd player circa 2003 plays fine.

my playstation 4 videogame console plays fine.

when insert disc hp windows 7 laptop mentioned above, shows being formatted in cdfs.

the dvd disc in question not home-made one; it's 1 purchased company and, presumably, produced professionally.

multiple other professionally produced dvds, such hollywood movies , more, play without problem on windows 10 system , first instance i've come across dvd not recognized.

when attempting play particular dvd, tried using multiple playback programs such windows media player, mpc-hc, , vlc player. due nature of issue -- computer interpreting disc empty data drive -- none of programs recognized dvd video disc.

although i'm not hardware-related issue, these models of optical disk drives, have up-to-date drivers:

asus rew-24b1st

optiarc bd rw bd-5300s

the 2 optical disk drives (as expected) connected separate sata ports on motherboard.

i've tried disabling reactivating optical disc drive devices via device manager, there no change afterward.

hi,

we want learn more concern. verify following:

  • what dvd player app using? when windows 10 first released, introduced app called windows dvd player because media apps limited play local videos unless stated developer.
  • have tried update dvd drivers? go device manager > dvd/cd-rom drives > update driver. if latest update installed, uninstall driver restart device.
  • what changes has been made computer before issue started?

we forward response.
