Hello,
I have recently been watching a lot of TV DVDs on my MacBook Pro. However, when not watching, I find it very annoying (not to mention wasteful to the drive) that the disc drive automatically tries to boot up everytime I open my computer.
Is there anyway to leave a disc in the drive and only have it turn on when I ask it to in the DVD player?
Thanks!

fizzbin1701,
yes: open the CDs & DVDs pane of System Preferences, and set the “When you insert a video DVD” dropdown to “Ignore”.
Thank you for the advice.
I tried it. Unfortunately, this did not stop the drive from "revving" when I open my computer.
fizzbin1701,
if there’s a disc in the Superdrive, then it will always “rev” when you open your computer. The System Preferences change only prevents the disc from being played automatically.
Disable Automatic Disc Drive Startup
