I have a Dell laptop. Most (movie)DVDs run just fine on it, but some do not. The system does not even recognize that a dvd is in the player.

This evening I opened a brand-new dvd and it would not play. I put in another dvd that I had never played before and it ran fine.

Any ideas?

If you are buying in DVDs from outside your country you are likely to run into Region Issues with the DVDs. Also if you insert a BlueRay/HD DVD into a conventional DVD Player/Burner they are unlikely to be read.
