I've found most of the newer DVD's I've purchased in the last couple months will not be read. IE disk tries to spin up and the drive makes noise then spits the disk out. Looking around searching for causes points to newer security for disk formats and I don't want to be forced to only buy the Blu-ray versions in order to watch them as work has me all around the country so I use the laptop an Alienware M17x R4 (Early 2012) play games and watch movies on my downtime and don't want to have to haul a separate TV and DVD player to watch the newer products. And it isn't from one producer that I've had problems having the disks read, has happened with both 20th Century Fox and Paramount titles.
So is there anyplace here I can find an updated firmware/software to be able to play those movies or not?
