Problems with DVD+R media

I’ve just installed OpenSuse 11.0. Up to this point, everything is correct: in this tip we are talking about, I have no problems with cd/dvd -R. But the system doesn’t recognize cd/dvd +R and it’s impossible to mount them.
Can anybody help me with any idea?
Thanks a lot

That’s almost certainly a hardware problem with your DVD drive.
To the OS, it makes no difference whether DVD+R or DVD-R.
Probably the only fix is to replace the drive.

Did it EVER recognize DVD+R? This is usually a drive issue. The operating
system doesn’t necessarily know the difference as long as the drive
recognizes the format. (Yes, it CAN tell the difference, but has to
specifically ask, generally it just accepts it. Usually only the DVD burner
programs care)

Hey! This one’s written in blue ink!

The first problem I studied was just the hardware. But is it possible to have a hardware problem if the drive works correctly under WinXP?

Ok, you didn’t mention that before. It WORKS under WinXP, same hardware…
can read DVD+R disks.

Are you getting any particular errors? or just “don’t work”? What’s on the
DVD? Was it burned on THAT computer?

The machine in which it was burnt was the same in which I’m working, but in WinXP.
The media is Verbatim.
And the message I receive from linux is:

“mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
En algunos casos se encuentra información en syslog, pruebe
dmesg | tail o algo parecido”.

I forgot to attach one message more, when I type “dmesg | tail”. The answer of the system is as follows:

FW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= SRC=192.168.1.33 DST=224.0.0.251 LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=255 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=5353 DPT=5353 LEN=44

I hope you get any idea from all of this.

Thank you very much.

SOLVED.
I’ve re-installed OpenSuse and everything is correct.
