Hi, I have a 2006 iMac which i updated to Leopard a few months ago. I don't know whether the problem I'm experiencing is related but at about the same time I began experiencing problems with DVD movie rental discs and other DVD discs that I'd previously burned, that now freeze and or auto eject.
Insofar as DVD movie rental discs - discs are new and clean, and/or relatively new and clean. Upon inserting discs, sometimes the DVD player engages first time after disc is inserted, and opens DVD Player as it's supposed to. Other times the computer will attempt to find or read the disc for several minutes before ejecting the disc. It will usually find the disc after re-inserting the disc multiple times. If Pause while playing, when Play, consistently stops disc, and says bypassing scratch, even if the disc is perfectly new.
Any ideas of what's going on? Dirty optical reader? I reloaded Leopard thinking it may be a software issue, to no effect.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
