Do you know how a Macbook pro can read a DVD double layer?

Hello Everyone!


I have a DVD that is in this format or type of DVD, (I don't know very much about this). The thing is that entered to my Macbook pro the DVD but it just look like if it's going to read the DVD, after that it eject it and I cannot see the files inside the DVD. I asked this question at answers.yahoo.com but nobody has explaind about. I don't know what to do, if I need to download a software that can read this or what to do!


Please explain me this


Thank you very much

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

The CD/DVD drive in MacBook Pros can read dual-layer DVDs.


Does the CD/DVD drive in your MacBookPro read other CDs and DVDs? If it does, then the problem would be with the DVD and not the CD/DVD drive or software.


Where did this DVD come from? It sounds like it's a DVD disk with files on it (you mentioned wanting to see the files on the DVD).

Talking about the dual DVD. I can read this in a computer of windows with no problem and I can see the files .dmg and others, I cannot copy to an USB because it's about 7GB and I don't have one.
