DVD drive doesn’t recognize blank dvds only!

Sometimes windows vista and 7 will detect written disks as blank. From what I was able to find out, this mostly happens if the disks were written by Nero Burning Rom, but I've seen it happen on CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs too. don't know what's causing the issue or how to actually solve it, but there is a way to read disks.

I've been using InfraRecorder for some time. Old versions of InfraRecorder have a windows explorer-like windows where directories may be browsed. If I put affected disk into drive and then navigate to it using InfraRecorder, I can read data using InfraRecorder and I once I opened disk with InfraRecorder, windows can normally open it until it is ejected. Unfortunately, this feature was removed from new versions of InfraRecorder, but old versions are still available on SourceForge. I don't know which version is the last one to include the needed features, but I do know that 0.44.1 has them. It is available as 64bit version too.

I really hope that someone will be able to find a real solution to this problem.

EDIT Looks like someone may have found an answer to this. Check out this link.

DVD Shrink can do this if you use the "Re-author" mode. No need to rip it first - just go to "open disc", then click on "Re-author". From there you can add the titles you want, as well as removing unnecessary audio tracks.
