DVD - ROM Problem

[krazydude]

I have a Samsung SD-616E DVD ROM drive. Just bought it a month ago. Works fine with all CD's and Digit DVD's.

Now the problem comes when I try to run DVD's burnt by DVD Writers, like I have this DVD of a concert given to me by my frnd who can access it on his DVD ROM, but I cannot.

I only notice this problem when I am trying to access "burnt" DVD's and NOT "pressed" DVD's.

Are there any drivers or applications that need to be installed to read these DVD's ?

I checked on the Samsung website and they do not offer any drivers. just instruction manuals.

as per the site
ur drive supports tese cd' dvd's

DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-Video, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, CD-DA, CD-ROM/XA, Video-CD, CD-I/FMV, Photo CD, CD-TEXT, CD-EXTRA.

so if the DVD you trying to play does not come under these
no software will work
i.e it simply wont be read

I am trying 2 play a CD which was "burnt" by one of my frnds and well its DVD-R and the list u gave mentions that, but I dunno what is the problem with it, it just DOES NOT read it, on the other hand my frnd can easily read it on his Acer laptop

dvd's written on some writers arent compatible with other writers
this problem ive seen mostly in samsung drives
agreed ur drive reads dvd-r's
but its just thats its incompatible
sorry
just try another dvd rom and check if it works ...
