Having too many CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they're loading of parts of
themselves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean that this issue has been
caused by those, however, it's a possibility depending on which and how many you have installed.You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
correctly.Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.
Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.
CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.Several good info here:

You can hear the cd/dvd tent drive to access the dvd, but he just keeps trying without offering me options such as what program to use! I checked for the driver and updates of firmware without result! I also tried the 'fix' function and any other help Windows 7 without success. In the Device Manager, it says all working correctly.
Hello

I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the driver of DVD in Device Manager.
(a) click Startand then click Control Panel.
(b) click system and Maintenanceand then click System.
(c) in the hardware tab, click Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
(d) in Device Manager, expand CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, right click on the device CD and DVD and then click on Uninstall.
(e) when you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, click OK.
(f) restart the computer.
After the computer restarts, the drivers will be installed automatically.
You can also search for a driver updated the manufacturer and install the latest version.
Hope this information is useful.

Maybe you need a DVD decoder:

Restore point before installing software or updates)Info about DVD decoders:

DVD burner does not recognize blank DVDs, but will recognize blank CD?
I read through several similar messages, but none seem to have a solution to my problem. I'm NOT very technically savvy, so this is as much I know:
I have a Dimension E310
It was supposed to come with a cd burner and a dvd burner combo.
The reader says DVD R/RW RW DVD rewritable Compact Disk its Ultra Speed
I was able to successfully burn CDs from itunes, but have not been able to burn any kind of video file. In fact, when I insert a blank dvd in the drive, the computer does not recognize that everything is there.
As I said, I'm not the person most computer savvy in the world. I know how to work with my applications, but I know little about the way in which a computer is set up, so I apologize in advance if my question is ignorant, but I appreciate any help you can give. Thank you in advance.

My dvd player won't play CD but will play dvd .i have run recovery system, no change discs
The unit is a HP PAVILION p6107uk desktop pc. When the cd is inserted pc tries to read for about 30 seconds then silence.right click on results of dvd player in windows explorer freezing.as soon the disc is ejected Explorer is ok.apart of the records of restorations that I tried to uninstall the drive and reinstalling, diagnostic tools can not read drive when the cd is inserted , but is very good with dvd.software updated controls say that my dvd drive is up to date. DVD player is a HL-DT-ST-DVD RAM GH40L.
I am considering buying a new dvd player to see if that solves it, but all hoping a met and solved this problem before
The player uses different devices for the CD DVD vs. It could be the laser and/or material for the part CD failed. DVD players are cheap now, so a replacement won't cost you too much. I see that the specifications indicate that the current drive has lightscribe, then choose a replacement that has this feature if necessary.

zd7000a (Win XP MCE) DVD drive will write on CD, not DVD
My scanner suddenly stopped writing to DVD. Using Nero, it fails with a generic error message. Using the native ability of Win XP passes the title of car of "DVD / CD + RW" in the window of the Explorer for just 'CD player' if I insert a blank DVD and refuses to let me drop files into the window. I can write to CD fine both using Nero and Win XP. I can play DVDs, as well.
I tried to delete the drive in hardware and re-Startup Manager to force reinstallation of the driver; no help.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Follow-up for completeness. New drive arrived today, installed without a hitch, just burn a DVD with more than 2 GB of data. Worked like a charm. As a bonus the new drive is twice faster OEM he came with.

Why not my Acer Aspire 5336, burn cd / dvd? I tried the update and uninstall drivers! I have
Why my acer 5336 cannot burn CDs / DVDs on secondary storage (DVD/CD), its leaves is failing or simply the empty disc after burning process took place. It's very frustrating! Help, please. I want my acer to burn CD / DVD. Properties of my acer 5336: CD-ROM/DVD-ROM (standard CD-ROM drivers).
It may be a problem with the software that you use or the laser on the optical drive can no longer work. I recommend performing a factory restore and then try to burn files to a blank DVD-R/CD-RW. I would try to copy certain files and images just as a test.

What operating system do you use?
What brand of computer are you using (HP, Dell, etc.)? Have you spent at the web site of the manufacturer and installed the drivers from HP, Dell, support of any web site page? Sometimes drivers that Windows installs are not as effective - especially if you have recently upgraded to Windows 10.
There may be other factors, but we will need a lot more information in order to solve the deeper problems.
