 To force quit an application, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu (or 
 press Command-Option-Esc), then choose the unresponsive application in the 
 Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
 
 Optionally, you may be able to Option-right click the application's icon 
 in the Dock and choose Force Quit from the contextual menu.
 
 Additionally, you can force quit the front-most application in Mac OS X 
 v10.5 or later by pressing Command-Option-Shift-Esc for three seconds
 
 If the disc is spinning it won't come out!
 Disrupt the spin:
 If you listen carefully, you can probably hear your optical drive powering 
 up & down over and over again. 
 As long as the disc spins, it’s not coming out. 
 The first step is to get your hands on a very thin piece of cardboard or 
 even a folded business card (so it’s twice as thick). 
 
 Now restart your Mac and hold down the mouse/trackpad button as you poke 
 the cardboard inside the SuperDrive slot. 
 The goal is to slip it above the CD or DVD — towards the left side of the 
 drive — and gently jiggle it around to put pressure on the disc. You might 
 have to continue this for up to a minute or so, but it often works when 
 all other methods fail.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

 Hi again Bob,
 
 If the DVD is still stuck in your optical drive.
 
 Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run:
 
 drutil eject
 
 If you are not successful using the terminal command:
 
 Open Disk Utility (located in the same location as the Terminal)
 Locate the misbehaving disk
 Eject the disk from there.
 
 If these options fail, restart your Mac and hold the "Eject" key.

 When you tried start up holding the mouse bottom, did you do it this 
 way?
 Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse 
 button. 
 This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button 
 right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Re: DVD Disc refuses to eject

Did you Quit MacXDVD Ripper Pro? Or Force Quit it if it is still running in the 
background
To force quit an application, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu (or press 
Command-Option-Esc), then choose the unresponsive application in the Force Quit 
window, and click Force Quit.

Optionally, you may be able to Option-right click the application's icon in the 
Dock and choose Force Quit from the contextual menu.

Additionally, you can force quit the front-most application in Mac OS X v10.5 
or later by pressing Command-Option-Shift-Esc for three seconds

If you listen carefully, you can probably hear your optical drive powering up & 
down over and over again. 
As long as the disc spins, it’s not coming out. 
The first step is to get your hands on a very thin piece of cardboard or even a 
folded business card (so it’s twice as thick). 

Now restart your Mac and hold down the mouse/trackpad button as you poke the 
cardboard inside the SuperDrive slot.

MacX DVD Ripper Pro. It spent ages "Seeking" and I gave up waiting.

Re: DVD Disc refuses to eject

[Ronda Brown]

Hi again Bob,

If the DVD is still stuck in your optical drive.

Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run:
 
drutil eject
 
If you are not successful using the terminal command:

Open Disk Utility (located in the same location as the Terminal)
Locate the misbehaving disk
Eject the disk from there.
 
If these options fail, restart your Mac and hold the "Eject" key.
Cheers,
Ronni

Re: DVD Disc refuses to eject

[Ronda Brown]

We're you using the DVD in DVD Player or some other Application.
If so quit DVD Player or other app first.

When you tried start up holding the mouse bottom, did you do it this way?
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. 
This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up 
until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.

Cheers,
Ronni
