    well..... sometimes it's the drive that won't recognize the disk..... what drive to you have? look up it's firmware update:

    by updating the firmware your drive just might recognize that disk!

    when you insert the disk, can you play the movie? what program do you use to play DVDs? does it work with that disk?

    what do you expect from a pedler!? The disk doesn't have any encryption so to speak of! it's the disk itself! it just doesn't want to be read by your drive! either try a firmware update on it or just accept that fact that your drive doesn't like the disk! street pedler! gezzzzzz
