    Does the same problem occur with reading known, working CD's?
    As i understand it, DVD's are read from a different laser than CD's.
    Have you run a DVD laser lens cleaner?

    You could try uninstalling and then re-installing the drive from device manager!

    If its an old or well used drive, maybe a the DVD optical read head has had its day.....

    Cheers!
