    I am having this exact same problem with a Optorite DVD-RW DD1205 drive I've had less then a year.
    It will read and burn CD's, but not DVD's, blank or otherwise. Windows does not see anything insterted into the drive, nor does Nero, or Alcohol 120. I am using the same Blank DVD Media and DVD Games I have used previously with no luck.
    I thought it might be a driver issue, so I unistalled and reinstalled the drive, then uninstalled and reinstalled windows, still with no luck.
    Any suggestions?
