I have a home movie collection on DVD that I am trying to copy to my hard drive. About a quarter of the DVD's come up "blank disc" when inserted. They were all created using a windows computer. Why is this and is there a way to get the Mac to read them so they can be copies to the Mac hard drive?

Check to see if they work on other DVD players or computers. One thing I have noticed is that many recordable DVD media is, well to put it simply, junk.
I come across quite a few DVD media that contains data, movies, or images, and the media is no longer readable by most DVD players. And this after only a few years of storage.
Anyway if you find a DVD that will play on, use that player to copy the information, you can then create new copies.

DVD's come up as blank when inserted.
