I have a lot of dvd's and i rent seldomly.. (I have a Macbook Pro bytheway)

This has happened a handful of times and it is extremely frustrating.

Put in Date Night to watch tonight, computer makes its typical noise and then runs like its trying to read the disk. Every 5-7 seconds or so it makes a noise that kinda stands out like a "nehhhhh-awwwwww", not a beep just different. It does that every time I put in a disc, and its happened on my buddies laptops (Macbook's as well) so I know its normal, but this just keeps repeating that noise every 5 seconds or so, until on like the 5th time it just spits it out.


WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS ANNOYANCE
IM ABOUT TO PUNCH A NEWBORN BABY

It could be the disc being scratched? No idea.

Just because you're a retarded 14 year old, doesn't mean you can post worthless shit in M&A.

once again the proof that physical solutions work for anything !

one a related note, if i want to eject a disc from my old laptop i need to hold it sideways, otherwise it won't work :)
