Similar issue has been mentioned few days ago in the "DVD/CD reading
issues with -CURRENT from 2004-06-27" thread. I have the same problem on
my workstation (LG DVD drive), though I don't have very current -CURRENT
at the moment.

Reseting the drive, as it was suggested in the thread, seems to help it.
