You are you using a third party burning app..? Wait, are you trying to read a
DVD in a CD/RW drive, that's a no no..

Jaymon. . .. forgot to mention that the laptop dvd drive will read
"store-bought" dvds and will also read audio cds...................Gene
 
To play commercial movies, I understand you need software.

More food for thought..

What media brand name and type (DVD-/+R or DVD-/+RW) are you using..?

Since you can read commercial disk media ok, says the drives read laser
works, that's great.. You might try disabling the inbuilt XP cd burning
capability and load Nero on the laptop or just InCd if your using DVD-/+RW
media.. See previous posted link by Ed Bott..

You are using Nero on the desktop computer, right..?
