MacBook Pro is not recognising DVDs

I own a MacBook Pro, around a year old, which is not recognising any video DVDs I insert.

After putting them in, the computer makes the usual motions and sounds, but after a few seconds spits the disk out again.

The disk isn't mounted on the desktop during this time, and DVD player does not launch automatically. I have tried opening DVD player myself while the computer is trying to find the disk, but there is still no result.

My MacBook has previously recognised these same disks, up to a few weeks ago when I found I might need to insert the disk two or three times before it played.

CDs are still recognised by the computer (and iTunes, as well as mounting on the desktop), as are DVD-ROMs.

I have tried many different DVDs, all of which play in my other Macs and DVD players.

I'd appreciate any help you can give me, and I can provide any other information you need.

Thanks!
 
All commercially manufactured. Blank dvds still show, but I haven't been able to try any I've burned.
 
I have also problem with my MBP's DVD player. I bought CD/DVD cleaning disk, and it helped, somewhat. However now the player does not like to play the cleaning disk, so I guess it is gone. I searched net for replacement drives, but they seem to be so expensive it is not worth the trouble. Some page suggested on using compressed air duster. I guess it is hard with MBP, but it might be worth the try.
