I finished watching a movie and removed the DVD. When I attempted to put in another DVD it wouldn't stay in and when I selected DVD player under Applications I received the error message: A valid DVD drive could not be found (-70012). In reading the other posts with similar problems the problems started with a stuck DVD. Mine was not stuck. Any ideas?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Hi Jeff, is this an internal or External DCD Drive> Normally that error indicates you're using, or it thinks you're an External DVD Drive...

DVD Player doesn't like external players, use VLC Player...
Turned off the computer over night and when I rebooted this morning the DVD drive was recognized.
Good work Jeff, thanks for the report. 🙂
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
