If no DVDs work at all, it looks like the DVD laser has failed - the CD
laser is different. You might try a CD cleaning kit, but if there's no
change, I suggest a new optical drive... since they're now so cheap,
probably a DVD burner may be in your near future.

Did you recently upgrade your Media Player?

There have been some problems:
