Burned a Red Hat install DVD ISO image at work and took it home to install under Parallels...
My 2008 MacBook running 10.9 reported this error, so I just figured the drive had failed as I hardly ever use it, and I did have problems using it to burn media.
Instead, I downloaded the ISO from home on my very slow connection.
So a couple days later, I bought an external Pioneer BD/DVD/CD reader burner and tried it on my new 13" MacBook Pro running 10.10 with the same results.
Brought it back to work and the DVD mounts just fine on a Linux as well as Windows 7 machine.
Tried it on a couple iMacs running 10.8 and I get the same error.

Had no problems viewing a DVD video on the MacBook Pro using the new reader.

Booted Linux in Parallels and it reads the DVD just fine. Also tried a different ISO I'd burned a while ago (Clonezilla) and it mounts just fine as well.

There's nothing showing up in Console other than:
11/18/14 8:00:40.000 PM kernel[0]: The USB device Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad (Port 5 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (1)

So why is OS X unhappy with this disk, and where is there a useful diagnostic??
