DVD Player Program Cannot Access Data

Article ID:310695
Last Review:September 28, 2004
Revision:1.0
This article was previously published under Q310695

SYMPTOMS

When you use a DVD player program to view DVD-ROM data (DVD content other than audio or video), some of the files may appear as white boxes, and the program may stop responding (hang). If you press CTRL+ALT+DEL to open the Close Program dialog box, click the program, and then click End Task, you may receive the following error message on a blue screen if you attempt to restart the DVD player program:
Windows

An error has occurred. To continue:

Press Enter to return to Windows, or Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart your computer. If you do this, you will lose any unsaved information in all open applications.

File Name: UDF(01) + 00000E1E Error: 0E : #### : ########

Press any key to continue.
Note that files that are located in the VIDEO_TS folder and that are related to DVD video do not appear to be affected. This problem has been reported to occur with InterActual Technologies, Inc. DVD player programs.

CAUSE

The Universal Disk Format (UDF) file system is a read-only file system that is designed to interchange data on DVDs and CD-ROMs. The UDF file system driver may not work when it tries to close a handle to a file that has multiple simultaneous opens, when a semaphore is not cleared.
