    dvd plays in dvd player, but not in dvd drive

    I have a panasonic RP56 DVD player,which has never been able to play DVD-/+R disks.
    Today I received a DVD of a wedding, produced by a professional. Much to my surprise, this plays in my RP56 !

    Then I put it in my dvd drive Sony DRU-510A (latest firmware update),
    DVD Identifies returns Not Available for all fields
    Nero identify tool returns no info the the disk
    Power DVD says no disk in drive
    My Computer says the drive is not available.

    I can successfully read ( and burn) other DVDs w/ the dvd drive Sony DRU-510A.

    Any ideas what the format of this wedding DVD could be, and why it can't be seen?

    thanks,

      I have the Sony DRU-510A drive, and it is definitely compatible with both +R (RW) and -R (RW) disks. Are you sure that the disk is actually a DVD and not a CD (VCD or SCVD)?

          The wedding disk has the "DVD video" logo printed on disk.

              You did state in your initial post that the disk "Plays" fine in your Panasonic RP56 DVD player. Is it your intention to make a copy of this disk? Also, you may want to contact the person who produced the disk originally and ask them what the procedure was he/she used.

                  My intention was to play the wedding dvd on my desktop as well.
                  BTW, the wedding dvd plays fine in my laptop running w2000, but will not play in my cheapo zenith dvd player.

                      "the wedding dvd plays fine in my laptop running w2000"

                      What "Software" player are you using?

                          It would then seem that there is an incompatibility ONLY between your burner and this DVD. Put NEROTools on your laptop and read the disc information...
