Ok, first question, did it used to play them ok or has it never worked?
Second question, are you trying to play DVDs with a different region code than your drives / software is set to?
Third question, can it read data dvds ok?

are these discs that youve used before or new ones also are they +r/-r
just a though if your trying to use a media that may not be support or that some discs aint liked by some drives even if they are compatible.

Yeah, I was just gonna ask is it only certain movies?
Have you installed anything recently, between the time when they did play and didn't?

1.what's the difference between -r and +r and which are better (+r are somewhat cheaper here).
2. what are your experiences with dvd-rw, are they worth buying?

The main difference is DVD-R is compatible with about 93% of all standard DVD players whereas DVD+R is compatible with about 83%.
This means that if you intend to use your DVD-RW drive to make movie disks to play on a standard (not a computer) DVD player, or other people's computers then you should go for DVD-R.
If you're only interested in making DVDs for use on your computer, you can get away with just a DVD+R burner.
In terms of ease of use performance and reliability, there's no difference between the two formats

theres not a load of difference between the one write +r and -r just different formats really technically there will be differences but for mere mortals putting films or data there aint much to chose execpt burn times possibly
dvd rw either + or - are just re recordable meaning like a video tap if you dont want whats on the dic you can record over it. however different discs are better than others i used some phillips +rw recently your supposed to be able to record over then 1000 times i got about 4 before they started becoming unreadable or showing surface glitches.
like a lot of things in life you get what you pay for.
if its to cheap it will have corners cut to expensive they are just out to make a buck
