Hi Peter,
I'm wondering if you are trying to read these on the same drive they were
recorded on. And how many hardware and software changes over those several
years? My thinking is did the media degrade and or fail or is there some
combination of hardware/software that may be causing your issue.
Obviously I don't have an answer just thinking as to possible causes.

Several years ago, I purchased 25 Memorex DVD+RW discs. Now two of them have
failed. They were written on and had been sitting on the shelf for some
time. When I put one of them into my DVD drive, it locks up the computer.
The other disc simply sites there without being recognized. I can't even
erase them.
I would like to know if this is a common occurrence? The lesson to me is
that you can't rely on the DVD+RW for safe keeping of your important data!
