  i have a macbook pro thats fairly new (february 08) with all the latest updates
  im not sure when this issue popped up because a few wks back I was still able to read off these discs

  my problem is the following
  when i insert a dvd+r (which as i said used to work fine) it continues to try to read it and eventually ejects it

  audio cds work fine
  cd+r works fine
  regular dvds (movies) work fine

  anybody ever heard of this?
  and/or know of possible solutions?

  Anytime i've had trouble reading DVD+R discs (which is almost all the time), i've put it i a stand-alone duplicator and duped it onto a DVD-R. i'm guessing you don't have that equipment

  Did you make the DVD+R on your machine? Did someone give these to you to open?

  I had that problem once with a powerbook, it was a bad drive. if you have applecare take it in and get it swapped out.

  My MBP forgot it could burn DVD DualLayer (according to System Profiler), but then later it remembered...

  Mine is fucked, but that's due to an influx of Chilean Shiraz.

  studderine.. did it change after a software update?
  it feels as if it stopped working after the last update

  you know i cant recall, but the problem does come up every now and again, its weird, but then everything works out ok. i would get it replaced, but the warranty is doneeesoooo.

  • on mine anyways

  If the warranty is done, get yourself a little screwdriver and a replacement drive and swap it out.
