Dec 23, 2015 8:31 PM in response to Kappyby TartanSkirtChaser,Kappy, thank you! I was going crazy. The Utilities application worked wonderfully but would not eject until I used both the command AND tilted the computer on its side. Marvelous!

Dec 23, 2015 10:31 PM in response to Brandon Fairbanksby texaspyro,I had a corrupted DVD that would not eject via ANY of the standard methods listed here. What did work was to boot into Open Firmware (cmd + option + o + f) and enter the command:
eject-cd
CD ejected... then enter:
reboot
Throw evil DVD across room onto brick wall... soooo satisfying.

Jul 4, 2016 9:31 PM in response to AngieCorbettby drmikenyc,I was just going to post this solution until seeing the most recent comment "here", by Brandon. This is exactly what I finally discovered, after trying all sorts of keyboard tricks short of re-booting. On an rMBP with no eject key and the SuperDrive icon not showing in Finder, nor any emergency eject pin - I thought to try one last thing, which was to use the old trusty disk utility. Just as described, and pleasantly surprised by seeing this, the Superdrive was listed as a volume even though stuck and invisible in finder. The DVD itself had options to change things around, but I went with right clicking on the top volume level (the drive itself) and then "eject". Worked like a charm. Following an apparently bad/corrupt large file transfer from an external drive via Mac (clearing space). So, this seems like a handy fix.
