Q: Force eject: Initialization error [-70012] Valid DVD drive not found
Back in December I had an issue with a DVD from NEtflix that was sucked into the black hole of my G4. No force eject protocol worked, must have tried at least 1/2 dozen. Come to find out, my drive works fine with some DVD/CD and not with others. The one fix on the web that works is an obscure one that I found. Restart computer and then insert a credit card into the drive slot, slightly putting pressure upon the spinning disc while pushing the eject or track pad until eject initializes. So, while I can get the disks out my question is: Why do newer DVD/CDs fail to initialize within my drive... is it an outdated optical thing?
