I have the same problem with commercial CD/DVD videos. My DVD-RAM Drive recognizes some DVD videos but not others. On another site a member ended up buying a $16 driver from a dot.com, which he said resolved the problem; but, all I get from HP (since this is a new notebook) is to send it to them for repairs. I am not sure that the E: Drive is the problem, nor does Windows necessarily seem to be the culprit. The DVD videos play fine on a DVD player, they just won't play on my notebook.

I have bought a Packard Bell Easy Note Skype edition from Dixon (Ammen Outlet)Netherlands and I have a problem with the Philips DVD ROM. It only writes Cds but not DVDs. Its not writing Sony, Moserbaer and other branded DVDs. However, I am able to write one brand of local DVD available here in the Indian market.
Its PHILIPS DVD RW SDVD8441 DVD/CD ROM DRIVES
Please let me know.

Re: dvd rom problems
CDROM CAN NOT READ CD'S
Try cleaning the lens using a high grade CD Lens Cleaner. Sony\ACER\BENQ Lens Drives are notorious when it comes to
compatibility.
Hope this helps

Please try to insert another disk for testing. If nothing works then try to check with another DVD rom for testing. If the other DVD rom not working then this is registry of windows problem If other DVD rom works then your original DVD rom is faulty.
try using nero as explorer may not readily detect blanks.Also ensure the writer is a dvd writer and not just a dvd rom To ensure compatibilty with the ever increasing range of media, an update to the burner .is usually all that is needed, this is called firmware upgrade Most drives will read anything, and most burners are
now "all formats", but you may have a burner that is
either one or other, not both, thats to say, your burner
maybe only a "DVD+R/RW" - note the "plus" sign.
whereas your blank media maybe "DVD-R/RW"
CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. ROM stands for "Read Only Memory". On the other hand, CD-RW, DVD-RW stand for "Read/Write". So, if the specs of your laptop say that you only have a DVD-ROM, not COMBO or something ending in RW, then you laptop's optical drive is simply not built for writing to discs.
First check the program you are using has selected the dvd-rom drive on pc.
If its selected and its still a problem then try changing to different brand of blank DVDR . I have used Tuffdisc , Bulkpaq, Datasafe, and Verbatim and few others on similar model Pioneer DVD writer and it works fine.
the combo drive you listed above is a cd-rw/ DVD-ROM....meaning that it will play and burn cd, cd-r, and cd-rw disks. the dvd rom will only be able to play dvd-rom and dvd-r disks providing they are in the proper format. check that the disk in question is not a dvd-rw or (+2) disk. the drive will not recognize that a disk is in the drive if the disk isnt compatable. try a dvd movie, if that works then a dvd-r, if that works then try a dvd-rw +1. if the last option doesnt work then you will have to stick with the dvd-rom and dvd-r, or purchase a dvd-rw drive to install.
Ok, the reason is quite simple. The Philips DVD8421 does not recognise the DVD-R format.Not all DVD/CD burners read all discs. It does recognise DVD+R though. So all you need to do is use these discs instead. This should solve your problem.
You need to check that with blank DVD's you are using compatible with your drive.Because the DVD's may work with your extranal drive but not with your builting drive. If this doen't slove the problem I would recommend using a different burning software other than "sonic record now" and "vista o/s Built-in dvd burner".
ITs a dvd rom drive. It will not burn blank dvds in order to burn, it has to cd-r/cd-rw/dvd-r/dvd-rw. If a drive cannot write to a blank disc, it will eject it. Rom drives read only (Read Only Memory), Combo drives- burn cd's only read dvd's, and super drives both read and write to cds and dvds.
