Disc stuck in Apple Super Drive

inserted a recorded dvd into drive. Didn't work, but would not eject and froze the computer. Had to turn off the computer, unplug drive and reboot.

However when I plugged drive into my Mac everything froze again.

Running latest version OS, Majove.

Can anyone help

restart and immediately press & hold the trackpad or mouse button. This should eject the disc
