My Computer Will Not Read My DVD-R DiscsClosed

Question

Hello,
I have recently bought some DVD-R discs by INFINITI. I wanted to rip some movies to it but my computer dosent recognise the discs even though my computer has the 'RW' on it. Is there a thing I can download, so it can read them?. 

Thankyou.

I do have sony DVD writer "AW-G170A" bought for more than 3 years ago, running with Windows service pack 2. It worked fine upto 1-1.5years but after that it stopped reading DVD-R. It could burn the DVD-R but could not read it again. The burnt disk ran in other computers finely. I tried it cleansing the lens but it did not work. I even tried lubricating the mechanical parts but this also did not work. but now at the start of the april 2010, I got firmware for the drive from internet from www.opendrivers.com. I changed the firmware and lo! it started reading DVD-R.  

Try changing the firmware of your DVD writer. Search the appropriate one for the make and model of your DVD writer and insall it. Beware that installing firmware made for other make and model would fail the writer forever.
