    Another help source (if you haven't already done so).

     

    Go to your OS Help Menu.  In the search field type dvd

    Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to  your issue.

     

    You can also do the same in Disk Utility.  Open same up.

    At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.

    This will bring up the Help Menu.

    It may have a dirty lens, you can try buying a DVD/CD cleaning disc, they are readily available at most places that sell electronics, and they are cheap.

    That may help your issue, it is also possible that the optical drive is failing, which is not an expensive repair, or you can but a USB drive for cheap as well.

     

    Hope this helps
