I burned several DVD -R (Golden Dye) for storing my personal videos.
I used Nero v6.0.0.9 and my PC is running windows XP pro SP1.
Those DVDs are working fine will all the DVD readers I tested.
But I can not browse the same DVDs on all the PCs I tested even the one I used to burn them.
Windows explorer behaves as if the disc was blank.
I used DVDInfoPro v3.29 to test these DVDs and I got the following results:

How do you explain that I can read this DVD successfully using any kind of DVD readers when DVDInoPro see it as a blank disk ???? Any help on this matter will be very much appreciated as I am completely lost
