Hi everyone, :) 

So, I've been using a Blu-ray drive instead of a DVD drive since I built my computer (late 2012), and mostly it works great.

A few times I've put an old home-movie DVD into it and it spins a lot, but ends up saying it's empty. I've always assumed that something must be wrong with the disc.

However, today I recorded a home-movie VHS onto a DVD using my DVD Recorder, and then went to play it on my computer. Again it keeps spinning for a long time, and then says the disc is empty. The disc works fine in a DVD player.

The drive is a LG BH10LS38.AUARAny ideas?

Go to that LG link that you posted and click on "Software Update". They have some Firmware Updates there. Check to see that you have the latest FW for your particular drive. Update FW if needed.

I've justed tired that, and it didn't work :( 

I'm using Windows 7 (64bit), and my motherboard is a Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3.

What could it be?

I feel a bit stupid, I didn't know I had to "finalize disc" on the DVD recorder before it would work on the computer. I think everything is working now! :)

I didn't really know they could get dirty. I'll have to read about cleaning them. Thanks.
