    My guesses are either a dirty/defective DVD, or a dirty/defective optical drive mechanism. If all DVDs do it, then most likely the mechanism. The usual advice is to try a lens cleaner, or something like partially inserting a credit card with a thin cloth over it to try to attract any lint. Failing that, it may require a new optical drive.
