It could be your booting process......
Alot of mod chips boot dvd backups differently than cd backups.

Also..... How were the backups on dvd-r created?
What program did you use?
What media are you using?

1. but my friends tried the disk and it worked.
2.Im using ar2 ver1.9 and a dvd utility disk.

Moderators NOTE: I have edited this post. Please don't talk about buying backups from a pirated store.

Do original DVD's work? if not it may be your drive. Try to put in a movie burnt to a dvd-r too. Some older versions have problems with reading dvd-r.
