No more details were given. Because I had none.
A friend, in another office.  Couldn't read a DVD disc.  At first I  
thought it was a DVD video, turns out it was a DVD data disc of some  
kind.  that was unreadable on the several different macs they have  
with DVD readers on them.

Knowing that it was a DVD data disc, not a DVD video disc.  I hoped  
to verify that it could just possibly be burned in some format that  
is not readable by their macs.  And tried to determine if maybe they  
would have better luck finding a Windoze box with a DVD reader, to  
see if it would work (which is what I suggested, before posting the  
question here)

and as someone else posted.. it could be other reasons not even  
related to windoze->OSX.

thanks for the replies.
