@assasin: Does your drive read other Dual layer DVD's also?

Maybe because it can't read Dual layer DVDs.

^^^ my drive too reads Chip dvds perfectly but just wont detect Digit dvds though the Digit dvds work on 2 other drives that i've tested them on.i just cant find out the xact reason behind this weird behaviour.

I have Liteon SOHW 1633S. I am having the same problem. My drive is unable to read any Digit Dual layer DVDs. It is capable of reading DVD R DL.
