I have a dual format Pacific Digital 4X DVD burner. I have a movie on dvd which is a little over 7 Gigs. My driver will not read it but the regular DVD player can read it and I've tried it on another DVD+R 8X drive and it could read it. Can anyone tell me how I can read it on my drive? Thanks.

Hi,

What do you mean by this? Will the drive not recognize that there's a disc in the drive or are you getting read errors?

Drive doesn't even recognize there is a disk in there. This only has happened with this dvd so far. The movie comes in 2 dvd's. One is the orignal movie and the other is the bonus disc. The bonus dvd disk works fine. When I put the orignal disk in, the little cd starts spinning next to the mouse pointer for about a second and then thats that. After that it doesn't even recognize the fact that there is a disk in the drive.

You have yourself a genuine bad disc. Does it work in your stand alone DVD player? My first copy of Matrix from Walmart wouldn't open / play in a computer - returned it for a replacement.

Hi supahfly, Welcome to the Club -

It could very well be a smudge or scratch soo small it can't be seen by the naked eye -

Me, I'd take it back for a replacement just to be sure -

cheers,

Pete
