I recently bought some dvd movies, tried to play in lg gsa 4167 dvd burner, and 3 will not be recognized. The error message I get is Please insert disk in drive. And on one it states: drive does not recognize format.
I have played many movies on this drive, but these 3 will not play. Is there something I can do to allow my drive to recognize these dvds? Thank-You

I have 4 GSA-4167 drives & they will read anything I put in them.
Post what movies the drive won't read so I may be able to assist you. It could be dirty discs, scratced, OR possibly a region code issue. If the discs are clean and unscratced, download AnyDVD. You can use it FREE for 21 days. This will make those discs region free when enabled.
Use The Best Media for The Best Burns! TYs, Verbs,(Made in Taiwan) Sony MIJs (YUDEN000 T02), Sony Made in Taiwan DVD+R 16x, Maxell MIJ, RITEK G05.

good advise from Bunnyrip..... I would also add ..... are these new DVDs bootleg DVDs or are these new from the store?

Thats interesting. I have 2 LG machines and they play back burned discs fine - I even recommend LG to friends. Its Philips machines I have a problem with.

@Altercuno........ that's funny, I have a Philips and it burned over a 1000 disks without a problem...... and I bought a BenQ drive, too and it's burned almost a 1000 already! I love my drives.... sorry the Philips didn't work for you.

Philips doesn't seem to have the quality it used to have - or is it just here in the UK? Looks like I'm on my own with LG...

well, to be honest with you ..... my Philips 8631 is an OEM BenQ! LOL and when I first joined AfterDawn many members have had problems with this drive.... I never did.... there was a defect in it before March, 2005! or so I was told..... I bought my computer in the end of April and have had many successful burns ..... the coasters I had were before I joined AfterDawn and learned that starting out with good media makes all the difference in the world! since then I have had a great run of 99.9% of successful burns without problems! And all my burns still work today..... even the ones before I joined AfterDawn! I know.... I checked them out! LOL

Your right about the media... most probs seem to come from cheap discs, but when stores like PC World heavily promote Imation - which I started with - people buy in good faith.
I'll be glad when all storage becomes removable hard drive and we get away from discs altogether.
I've always fancied a BenQ burner but you've got me worried now...
