Data CD won't play

Hi everyone,

My mother recently had an MRI spine Imaging scan done and brought home a CD for me to play.

I believe it to be a data CD. However, the Sony CD player described above, loads the CD and displays the message no playable data. Does this mean that the disk is totally blank or empty?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

@technic your DVD player supports these playable file formats only

Video: MPEG-I (Cyber-shot data)

Photo: JPEG (DCF format)

Music: MP3 (except for mp3PRO)/WMA (except for WMA Pro)*/AAC*/LPCM/WAVE

  • Files with copyright protection (Digital Right Management) cannot be played.

Supported extensions: ".mpg", ".rnpeg",".jpg", ".mp3", ".wma", ".m4a", ".wav"

Supported discs: DVD, DVD±RW/±R1±R DL, Music CD/Super VCD, CD-R/-RW

• DATA CDs recorded according to ISO 9660 Level I/Level 2, or its extended format, Joliet.

• DATA DVDs recorded according to UDF

However, most of the files from MRI or CT scanners require a standalone player which will be included on the CD. You would need a computer (laptop/desktop) to see the MRI scan. Open the CD using Windows Explorer and see if there is some viewing program listed. You should easily be able to distinguish programs (applications) from the MRI images themselves. If you have never seen one, they are pretty amazing :-)

@oldturkey03 Thanks a lot my friend. Your comment helped me solve a day’s puzzle. Tried mp4,mov and xvid formats for my movie on my Sony Dvd Dvp Sr370 model but everything failed. Finally, the mpg format worked!! Funny thing is, lot of misinformation in official sony manuals and websites.
