DVD plays on Sony DVD Player but cannot be read by Computer

[jeneralzod]

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with playing a particular korean DVD where it plays on the DVD player but has difficulty even being read by the DVD writer. The PC reads all other discs fine. Tried the DVD on another computer and was unable to read it still. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you see any files on the dvd?

It could be a dvdr/w media and it might not work that well on some pc dvd drives. Try use isobuster or cdroller to see if they can find some files on the dvd.

The drive does not see the disc at all. It seems to try to read the disc with the drive LED's flashing, but eventually fail to see the disc at all.
