DVD drive can read 4GB dvds but not 8GB dvds..

It's about 2-3 years old and I believe it should read 8GB dvds just fine.. ahh don't know what's the prob, and I'm stuck cuz I bought Arkham City, which is on 8GB dvds, had no problem installing it cuz I just made iso images with my laptop which can read 8GB dvds with no problem, but damn Securom doesn't let me actually play the game if it's not in my physical DVD drive. Did a firmware update.Any solution? Maybe a way to enable the 8GB reading? Thanks!

I don't think there are DVD drives that don't support DL nowdays, I'm guessing yours is simply due to replacement. I never had a DVD burner that lasted for more that 3 years. Try burning a DVD at the fastest speed, then see if the drive can read it.

Check to make sure your drive supports DL. (can't imagine that it doesn't though)

Or maybe the drive is going bad. Is this the only disc you have problems with?

Workaround exist but it requires copy protection "circumvention".

While in some jurisdictions allows backups, it's against TOU to talk about this issue.
