    External DVD-rw Drive. Help me please

    I have purchased an external DVD-rw drive for a family member. When i tried it out at his house his computer was able to recognize it and it would work fine. When he tried it to have it work again, the drive would not read the entire dvd. It will recognize that the dvd is in the drive, but when you try to play it. It says it is unable to recognize it and that it may be scratched. The dvds we have tried have all been brand new and have never been played or only played once. When an audio cd is put in, it is able to read and play it with no problem, it is only the dvds. I needed to test it out on another computer so i took it to my home, when i plugged it in, it was able to work fine. Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this problem?
    Thanks

    Did you need to install any drivers to have the player work?

    no it set up right off the bat. I'm thinking i may need to now though. He does not have the net, so i need to download them here before i can even try it out. And i have no idea where to start.

    How old is the computer that it wouldn't work on, maybe it has trouble handling all the video (since you said it works with audio discs).
