MacBook Pro doesn't recognize certain discs? :/

I have the same problem also, my MacBook Pro only reads certain disc's DVD or CD? Disc that are perfectly fine it tell's me they are blank? Is there a fix for the problem? Is it just an issue with these machines?, I don't have this problem same disc loaded into my G5, G4 ibook or Mac mini?
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Please excuse me for my bad english.

I spent several hours scratching my head trying stupid and complex solutions like reseting p-ram, re-flashing the unit, etc.

The final solution...

  1. Buy a compressed air can (for electronics cleanning).
  2. Please turn off your MacBook pro
  3. Purge the humidity by pushing a little the trigger. Wait some seconds until it just blows dry and cold air.
  4. Blow air from the tray entering and towards the back of the unit.
  5. Enjoy your movies!
