Hello Thank you for the responses I have tried multiple data disk, on a DVD R media, no scratches. The are backup of my families photos. I burned them on a Plextor PX-870A. They are not copy protected. On each disk I tried the auto mount, if could not access the disk I mounted the disk using the mount command and tried to access the disk from the command line. If there was a problem with the driver then the mailing list would be full of related post. I can access the data from the windows virtual machine running in vmware. I may have a problem with vmware.

Hello
I recently purchased two new DVD burners. Neither of this DVD drive were able to read some DVD R that I burned with my older DVD burner. I am able to read the disk with a windows computer so I do not think there is a problem with the DVD media.
I experienced the same problem with both of the DVD burners. I cannot read the first 271 MB of a disk and then will report an Input/output error for the remaining data.
Have manufactures moved the error handling from the DVD burner to the Windows driver? Did I purchase two bad DVD burners? The first of DVD burner was a Memorex and my current burner is a Plextor PX-L890SA.

You don't say what is on those DVDs: are they music or video - and with what did you burn them on the old burner. Nor do you say if you could play them on openSUSE with the old DVD cdrom/burner. Thirdly, you don't say how you are trying to read these DVDs: are you trying to play them if they are videos/music or access them using, say, Dolphin.
(If you can 'play/read/ them in Windows sounds very much like they are protected and you don't have the necessary codecs installed to be able to do so.
While I am on this, what do you have the REGION set to on the new burners?)
