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.

Dec 14, 2013 1:42 PM in response to Samlori19by sanjampet,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
