Is it a blue ray? In which case, is it not a blue ray DVD, rather than a CD-R? Did in fact the data ever get written, ie, did you verify the write at the time? Is the machine you are trying to read the data from, the same machine that you burned the data on? Is your current DVD drive blue ray capable? |
