DVD not reading

[superlightr]

I have a all singing DVD recorder in my pc which I installed a few months back. (plexor-something) which was/is working well, but wont read a particular disk Silent Hunter 3 which I have just bought.

The disk is readable and playable in another computer and in my old DVD player (but not recorder) but not in my new DVD recorder.

I still have my old DVD player disconected and conntect this and it works fine, but I would like to run the 2 DVD players in my computer so I tried to connected the cables up but it would not recognise either of the 2 Dvd drives then,

The cables are the same connectors for both DVD drives and also a spare connection set off the end of them, which I connecred to the 2nd DVD player, but then neither is recognised.

So at the moment Im swapping DVD cables for this one game back to my old DVD player and then when recording to the new one which is a bit of a pain.

Any views on what Im doing wrong apart from not playing SH3......

I've read that some drives do not work with some games discs. I'm not sure how or why but I've seen complaints like this before that were because a certain make of drive cannot or will not read a certain type (encoded maybe) disc.

Try googling "Silent Hunter III" or combination of SH3 together with your drive make.

thank you - will have a yahoo...
