   	I'll try to find a DVD-R, if I still have any. The thing is,   
   those two systems just refuse to recognize even commercial DVDs with pre-   
   recorded video material - movie DVDs.   
      
   	Other than this, I used the inxi -Fxd command to obtain   
   information about the drives, and here's what I am getting in the   
   offending 14.2 systems:   
      
     Optical-1: /dev/sr0 vendor: TSSTcorp model: CDDVDW SH-S223L rev: SB03   
     dev-links: cdr,cdr0,cdrom,cdrom0,cdrw,cdrw0,dvd,dvd0,dvdr,dvdr0,   
   dvdrw,dvdrw0,dvdwriter,dvdwriter0   
     Features: speed: 48 multisession: yes audio: yes dvd: yes   
     rw: cd-r,cd-rw,dvd-r,dvd-ram state: running   
      
     Optical-1: /dev/sr0 vendor: hp model: CDDVDW SH-216BB rev: HE30   
     dev-links: cdr,cdr0,cdrom,cdrom0,cdrw,cdrw0,dvd,dvd0,dvdr,dvdr0,dvdrw,   
   dvdrw0,dvdwriter,dvdwriter0   
     Features: speed: 40 multisession: yes audio: yes dvd: yes   
     rw: cd-r,cd-rw,dvd-r,dvd-ram state: running   
      
   	And here is the matching output for a 14.2 system that has no   
   problems with DVDs:   
      
     Optical-1: /dev/sr0 vendor: SONY model: DVD RW DW-D26A rev: JYS2   
     dev-links: cdr,cdr0,cdrom,cdrom0,cdrw,cdrw0,dvd,dvd0,dvdr,dvdr0,   
   dvdrw,dvdrw0,dvdwriter,dvdwriter0   
     Features: speed: 48 multisession: yes audio: yes dvd: yes   
     rw: cd-r,cd-rw,dvd-r state: running
