    All DVDs? Store bought pressed movies, data, DVD-Rs?
    If none are recognized, you prob need a new drive. Mine did the opposite - quit reading all types of CDs, even though still read DVDs. New drive solved problem.

    With burners so inexpensive, you may want to go with a second, but more up to date, burner. Use the older burner as your reader.
