Default WHy does Sony DRU710a writer sees blank dvd that isn't blank?

I have 2 DVD+RW discs that cannot be read by my Sony DRU710A DVD writer.
They were written on a different DVD writer. There are MP3's and AVI files
on them. XP as well as other application software shows them as empty discs.
Another cheap computer DVD drive (read only) sees the files just fine. What
could cause this? Thanks for any assistance. Mike.

hmmm, I was wondering if this may be censorship of some sort. I'm sure
I read somewhere that Sony drives can pick up on copies of certain
things. Anyway, that's probably just my imagination, it could well be
just the discs themselves, just as your drive won't see some discs to
burn to them. Try transferring them to a disc brand you know your Sony
recognizes, see if they come up okay then.

Do you have a UDF reader on your PC. If the disk was written with
something like DirectCD, and you do not have that on your PC, you will
need a UDF reader to read it. You can get that hear:
