So, here I am in Iraq with my trusty MBP...or so I thought. I am certainly in Iraq, but the MBP is not being so trusty. The DVD player refuses to recognize DVDs. It won't even spin them! They go in, sit there, and then eject. Audio CDs are fine. Burned CDs are fine. It will burn CDs. But it just spits DVDs back out. And these are legit DVDs...a new season of Entourage and the latest Sopranos season both got spit back out.

Please help...the only forms of entertainment here are movies and well.....let's just say you'd rather hear about movies. Help!

Yes, I tried restarting. Currently running Leopard 10.5.1

Try resetting the PRAM
Restart the MBP and hold down Command + Option + P + R before the Apple logo comes on. You will hear a second chime if it is successful.
 
Hi,

Sorry to hear about your issue, but it is just like the one i had. Mine would play most commercial DVD, but not read ones that I had burned on the laptop or elsewhere. It was replaced under warranty.

Cheers!
