Any idea about what the real problem is?

bork:
problem with reading the disk ID track most likely, this is the area closes to the center.  Dirt, scratch, age fade.

Dirt on the laser-lens pickup.

Could be DRM, too. It once prevented my computer from even realizing there was a DVD in the drive. I ended up having to make an image file of it on another computer and copying it over in order to use it.

Uh but it's not damaged or anything, it's new. I should check if it works in another pc. Thanks for your help anyway.

If you got it in Asia, chances are it won't work in any old DVD player. I'm not sure why, but I remember we needed a second DVD player for certain discs.

Odd question... Any DVD with data written to it is a "burned" DVD.

No. DVD-ROMs are stamped. Recordable discs are not stamped, that's why your writer's laser burns the dye to simulate pits in the disc

Burned discs have variances in the diameter of the pits which may or not be read properly by your drive.
