(12" PowerBook 1.5GHz running 10.4.8 SuperDrive) The computer will not read any burned DVDs. The DVDs are burned using Toast 6 and a few other programs and will work on both another G5 and a MacBook. I'll insert the DVD and it will read it for a minute then spit it back out. It works with purchased DVDs just not anything burned. Any suggestions or should I give Apple CS a call? Thanks.

the optical drive may soon start giving up the ghost....

I had an external SuperDrive that slowly started rejecting burned DVD-Rs. But it worked fine in the internal SuperDrive (which I rarely used).

I also noticed the same external SuperDrive starting to get burn errors as well and I started having to reduce the burn speed.

Eventually it died and I had to get another external SuperDrive replacement.
