I have a Light-on DVD-RW LH-20A1S ATA drive and I was going to go watch a movie the other day and it would not read the disk but then I put in another DVD and it read it fine, so my question is why would it read one DVD but not another? Both DVDs are NTSC 1 and they are not burned DVDs. I tried updating the drivers through the property's menu and there up to date. This is my only DVD player so its kinda frustrating:(
 
This is assuming that there are no scratches nor smudges on the dvd, right? Does it read any other dvds that you put in? If so, then it may be the dvd not the drive. Also, you can always run a diagnostic on it, but thats a waste of time, if it plays any other dvd and burn (if we are talking dvdrw inside your pc dvds fine.)
 
Yea the DVDs are in great shape and it has no problem reading game DVDs or CDs. The weird thing is some DVD movies work and some don't. And I forgot to say the drive is only 6 months old or so.

Thanks
