     Probably the dvd of yours is getting dirty, smudged or scratched. Or the actual DVD drive lens is dirty, which will particularly affect dual-layer discs. Or your SuperDrive is bad or damaged. They are reasonable speculations. If the prop still remains, you may consider to try those steps. 1.Resort to cleaning kits to clean DVD discs. 2. Make sure the aluminum enclosure is facing up rather than upside down. Then connect the SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub. Anything beyond that, could be the update of your OS or iMac DVD player. You should confirm that beforehand, then go to this page to check for solutions.
