However, you can first try to clean the CD-R drive using a CD cleaning disc. If all the above recommendations do not resolve the issue, the CD-R drive itself may be bad and need to be replaced. Try re-burning the disc and if possible, try a different brand of recordable disc. If, after reading through the recommendations above you continue to have the same issue, the disc is defective. If your computer is capable of playing the files off the DVD, but your home entertainment DVD player cannot play the file, you are likely encountering this problem.
#CD ROM READER MOVIE#
Make sure the format or codec of the movie or audio file you're saving to the CD or DVD is supported by the DVD player. Not all home entertainment DVD players are capable of supporting and playing all the different formats of movie and audio files. Disc or DVD contains media content not supported by the player A data disk with MP3 files may work with a computer but does not always work in CD players unless they support MP3 format. All this does is burn the data files to the disc and not create an audio disc. For example, a common mistake when creating audio CDs is burning the MP3 files to the CD as a Data disc instead of an Audio disc. Make sure you are creating the disc properly. Additionally, a standard CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW drive cannot read DVD discs.

#CD ROM READER SOFTWARE#
A good way to check whether the incompatibility problems are with software or one of the other causes mentioned is to test the same disc on several CD-ROM drives.
#CD ROM READER ISO#
An incorrect ISO image could be generated, or incorrect sub-header codes could be recorded in the case of Mode 2 discs. The pre-mastering software can sometimes produce incorrect tracks due to bugs. When in doubt, try a different brand of CD-R disc. For example, TDK discs often give a 100% guarantee. Verify the disc manufacturer gives a 100% guarantee for supporting all drives and disc speeds. Not all CD-R discs are compatible with all types and speeds of CD-R drives or recordable drives (especially earlier CD-R drives). If Windows shows no errors, the steps above did not resolve the issue, or you are running an operating system other than Windows, check with the drive manufacturer for updated drivers. If Device Manager detects an error on the drive or if it has any other drives listed with errors, remove them and reboot the computer. If you are running Microsoft Windows, verify your drive is detected and listed in Device Manager with no conflicts or errors. Numerous driver-related issues may cause a CD-R drive or recordable drive to stop reading a CD-R disc.
