What program are you using to play your DVD's? Is it possible for you to download and install VLC:

Then open VLC once downloaded go to 'media' and 'open disk'. If that doesn't work then post back.

Fair enough, sounds like you have tried quite a few things. I know this sounds a bit mental but are you using a SATA drive or IDE? If SATA, can you try using a different connector on your motherboard if there is one free and if it is IDE, is it on a dedicated cable? If it is, is the jumper position set to primary and if it is on a joint cable then if it is at the end of the cable, check for the primary jumper again and if not then check to see if it is in the secondary jumper.

Did you change the dvd drive from a PATA drive to a Sata drive?
Some Sata cd/dvd drives can't read 2 x speed DVD disks, they only go as low as 4x (speed) and some only as low as 8x.

What is the model number and brand of the new CD drive?

Also, you need a 32 bit driver for the CD/DVD drive if the OS is 64 bit

Edit-
If the dvd is a Rewritable disk and you did not disable mult-session when you created the disk, the disk may (might) not work on any other dvd drive other than the one on which it was created. Always disable multi--session prior to burning if you are not going to add more data later on.
