DVD-writer cant play DVD

[lazyturbo]

When I insert the DVD into the dvd-writer on my computer. The icon in 'My Computer' changes to a DVD-R and label says 'CD Drive'. When I open it, there are no files contained inside, I know the movie works because I can play it on my standalone DVD player. When I try to play it in PowerDVD, an error comes up saying "A disc with an unsuppoted format in drive E".

Does anyone know of this problem? I was speculating that it might be a dvd-ram disc, but I doubt that even my standalone can play dvd-ram's.

You could try cleaning the lens in your burner.

Nah, its just this one DVD that isnt playing. All my other ones work perfectly fine.

Is the disc scratched or dirty in any way? Some players are more fogiving than others.

Nope, can't see any scratches. I looked at it pretty closely for about a minute. There's just a sticker (label) on the top surface, thats the only thing i would say thats unusual about the disc. But I dont think that really affects how the dvd-writer reads the disc.
