Because recently after using a dvd my encoder on my home dvd player (not a computer dvd player) fails to read any disks I try to play. I tried a lens cleaning disk and it will not even play enough because it can't get passed the dvd players decoder selection process.

I think it is not because of the virus but the lens that fail to read the disc. May be the pick up lens got the problem. This is sure hardware problem and not because of viruses. For your information Viruses only can spread thru sofwares not hardwares. As far as i know you need not to worry about virus on dvd player. Just bring it back your dvd player to the authorized dealer and claimed the warranty if you still got it or get it to repair.

No. It isn't likely that you even understand the problem. It is not likely anything to do with the use of the other disk. Sounds like your player is unable to access the TOC on any disk. This could even be a mechanical problem with the player. This is some times caused when people get in the habit of pushing the "cup holder" shut in stead of letting the system close it. (Happens with VCR's too) Then the loading mecha. gets out of sync. It may be time to get a new one. They are so inexpensive now that you could replace it cheaper than you can get it repaired.

No, there is no information saved to the dvd player.

Absolutely impossible.
Your dvd drive is broken.

DVD devices are so fixed there can't be virus written targetting them.
So it's broken.
