Windows 10: Windows reading some DVDs, not others

Trying to watch DVD movies on my laptop and some of them are viewable while others aren't. The ones that do not work just say "Please insert a disc and it seems that it's 50/50. Nothing else is wrong. Do I need special software or drivers?My Laptop is a Lenovo V570. The DVD RW is a PLDS DVD-RW DS8A8SH. Windows 10 Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045.Thanks!
