DVD drive keeps ejecting

I've noticed some weird behavior with the Superdrive on my MacBook Pro recently.

My system is

MacBook Pro 2.2GHZ Intel Core2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 200 GB HDD

it's about six months old but gets a *lot* of use.

I notice that the superdrive will sometimes randomly eject a DVD drive after it has been inserted. Last week it took me up to 10 minutes to insert a DVD - I had to keep trying to reinsert it, then I finally rebooted a couple of times and it eventually worked. Sometimes when I bring my laptop back from sleep it ejects the DVD for no reason. I also notice that sometimes when playing a DVD, it will freeze up in full screen mode. I have to hit the power button and reboot as the laptop is completely frozen at this point - this has happened a couple of times in the past few weeks, I think it's related to the random ejects.

I did some googling - some people suggest a DVD cleaner? has anyone tried this or had the same problem? Thanks.
