    Another help source (if you haven't already done so).

     

    Go to your OS Help Menu.  In the search field type dvd

    Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to  your issue.

     

    You can also do the same in Disk Utility.  Open same up.

    At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.

    This will bring up the Help Menu.

    If you have tried different brands of media and still have the problem then the issue may be your DVD drive needs cleaning. In that case go to your local office supply store and get a CD/DVD cleaning kit.

    Why don't you try cleaning the cd drive first?
