Yes, it does make sense. CD & DVD are burned in quite different ways. What you tell us suggests to me that i) the lens is either dirty or faulty, or ii) the optical drive is faulty or iii) there is a firmware issue (unlikely).
Is it a Matshita drive? They fail repeatedly and regularly.
What happens if you choose Ignore (Sys Prefs > CDs/DVDs) when you insert a music or movie disk, either CD or DVD? If you use that option, you need to go to Disk Utility or (hopefully) your desktop to locate the CD/DVD icon, and then open whatever is on it with whatever application you choose. Not a solution, but an elimination process.
