    Sounds like you may need a new dvd drive. Have you tried a cleaning disc? (They have brushes on to clean the laser lens)

    Is it a stand-alone player or one on your PC? Do you know what model it is?

    Either way, a cleaning disc would be the first thing to try. If that doesn't work, you're probably looking at getting a replacement.

    I had a cheap one that did exactly the same thing - it was a "Compacks" machine that cost me about £17 on Amazon. I binned it and got a slightly more reliable (Pioneer) new one.
