I'm having a problem with one specific DVD on my PC. It plays perfectly fine in my DVD player first time. However, when I put it into my PC's DVD drive, it treats the DVD like it is blank.

I've tried putting the DVD into DVD Decrypter, but when I click ISO Read it says the disc is empty, and when I put it to ISO Write it says the disc is full.

It doesn't do this for any of my other DVD's, just this one specific one, and I know that the DVD does not have any problems. LIkewise for my DVD drive as it reads pretty much every other DVD fine.

Does anyone know why this problem is happening and if there is any way around it so I can rip it to my hard drive.

Thanks in advance

Anyone? Surely someone here knows something about this problem.

Here's some more info. Here's everything that Nero Disc Info says-

DVD Session Capacity In Use 3453MB
DVD-R Available Capacity 1036MB
Sessions 0 Book Type DVD-R
Tracks 1

DVD Session
Session Is Open
Track 01 0 3,535,232,KB UDF/ISO 9660[mode 1]

So in other words, it is showing up saying that there is something on the disc, but I can't access the contents.

I also found this info in Nero InfoTool

Hi, i got the same problem with << Das Leben der Anderen >> dvd: the dvd player in my hifi system plays it fine, but with the dvd-drive of my laptop... there's no way at all, the laptop doen't even see it! I tried to change disc, same results.
it MUST be a new protection mechanism.

I figured out a way to fix this. Download and install a program called ISOBuster. Once installed, insert your DVD then open the program up. You should be able to see your files. Then you just need to grab the files and put them in a folder on your desktop and everything should be fine from there.
It was actually caused from my DVD drive thinking the disc was a multi session disc that wasn't closed when in fact the disc wasn't a multi session disc (it wasn't even burned in a program that uses multi sessions).
