I have a G5 PowerMac. Recently, it stopped reading DVDs. CDs mount and burn okay. I've tried data DVDs that work fine on other Macs and commercial movies. Without fail, I get the "not recognizable" message.
After researching the problem online, I opted to purchase a new superdrive. It's now installed, but the problem persists.
I am running OS 10.5.6. Perhaps this problem started after updating my system. Not sure about that.
It's amazing how many posts there are regarding this problem. But, no one seems to have a definitive answer. Suggestions include: cleaning the drive, replacing the drive, zapping the PRAM (I've done this), and running Disk Warrior (don't currently own it).
