Hi, an all too frequent problem. The lasers used to burn disks both cd and especially dvd now are are not all created equal and likewise the players are not all identical in how they read them. You would think they ought to be, but not so. Manufacturers of players now routinely put a disclaimer about playing burnt disks. I just replaced a dvd player because it didn't like the disks my pc would make. A second issue sometimes occurs in which the brand of disk can be the problem, true it burned, but the pits are not distinct enough for the player to read. In any case the only real solutions are find a home unit that will play them, or burn a new copy on some other machine.
