Hi adep prim, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
wrong region.
learn that DVD are by region
as is the DVD player.
IF YOU BUY A dvd MOVIE FROM THE WRONG COUNTRY , BINGO FAILS.
BY DESIGN !
YOU KNOW THEY PLAY BUT NEW DOES NOT.
SO IS WRONG REGION.DVD.
google why wrong region fails.
or wiki it.

Lite-On DVD SOHW-1673s
ever read the spec, on it?
first of it is a relic drive, IDE(PATA)
1986 to 2003 tech, SATA took over then.
you posted only a very old legacy DVD drive burner, full sized. 5"
not one clue at all what it is and was installed in, A PC DESKTOP OR HOME DVD RECORDER DVR RELIC SYSTEM FOR THE TV?
OR PART HUGE GANG BURNER SYSTEMS FOR BULK BURNS
NO CLUE AT ALL WHAT YOUR HANDS ARE TOUCHING

if pc and running XP it loves to fail like this. XP is a junk grade OS. (or worse vista)
back then the pc must be loaded by hand the correct driver for the DRIVE DVD
or fails from the maker liteon. only
and/or the filters in the registry are mangled, as was so common back then.

my wild guess is
old movies match our region
or new moves do not, and or are blu-ray movies, not told is your country
and not told did you buy movie disks out side your country. of off fleabay or amazon and did not ask them for region before buying
OOoooPSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Some pc DVD players will only play films from a certain region. It could also be the video codecs? Search for the all codec packs on the net as sometimes a film wont play unless its got the right codec. Also some companies dont like people to play films on their computer as they can be ripped to hard drive etc. Three answers that could the the cause of your problems, sorry i coudlan't be more help :-(

Can not read dvd movies

When you say DVD movies, are you only talking about copied DVDs? Or any DVD that isn't one that was purchased as a movie? It is probably that the drive doesn't support the blank DVDs being used, but I would think that it would work with a true movie DVD. Give that a try, also, does it work with CD-ROMs?
