Hi everyone,
I just purchased the Samsung USB 2.0 Ultra Portable External DVD Writer Model SE-218 for my hp laptop to play DVD's on it, but after two attempts of trying to get it to work I am returning it to amazon. The first time it took me an hour to try and get it to work and I downloaded two different DVD player programs. The first time it played it went extremely slow, but then the second program worked perfect. However I just tried playing it again tonight with the PowerDVD program and it won't read the disc now and won't stop freezing. Also my VLC player won't read it either. Do I really have to pay and upgrade to Windows 8.1 just to play a DVD? Does anyone have any suggestions for a compatible, good external DVD drive? I know everyone can download movies and watch them directly on their computer now but I would prefer to not re-purchase any movies I already own, etc. just to watch them directly on my laptop. Thank you.
