Look on the manfacturer's website for your specific DVD drive to see if there are any firmware updates you could download and install.
There could also be drivers you could download and install for your drive. The newest stuff (or a version previous to what you have right now if nothing works right) may help.

1. Also check that your optical drives arent running in PIO Mode
