The lens is dirty. Use a DVD cleaning disk or some people have had luck with wrapping a microfiber cloth around a credit card and carefully sliding it in and out of the slot a few times.

Not sure why it's kicking out the cleaning disk so fast. Did you try the microfiber cloth method?


If all else fails and the drive is just shot, you can either go with an external from Amazon for about $35, or get a new Superdrive for about $50. Though you'd have to install it yourself or find someone who could. The procedures are model specific and on ifixit.com. It's pretty easy with a unibody.
