Cannot read DVDs

[garwol]

Upgraded to 10.4.5. Now I keep getting message "The disk you inserted was not readable bo this computer"

I have tried PatchBurn4.0.0a5 and repairing permissions. Nothing worked. Cds work fine.

Anyone out there have any ideas?

What kind of DVDs? Retail movie DVDs? Retail software DVDs? DVD-Rs? DVD-RWs? DVD+Rs? DVD+RWs?

Any kind of DVD. Purchased or rented movies or DVDs I have burned myself on DVD-R.

You might want to try a cleaning DVD/CD. I had trouble some months back, where I was able to read CDs but some (not all) DVDs would not work. I tried the unreadable DVDs on other computers and found they were fine. Before worrying about a hardware fault, I decided to buy a DVD that cleans the lens of the drive, as a work colleague once experienced a similar problem. So, I put the cleaning DVD in and within minutes the problem disappeared! You may or may not find this solves your problem, but it is certainly worth a try...
