Both of my drives (DVD and Blu-ray drive) seem to be failing in one sense or the other

Blu ray drive still reads DVDs just fine, but I was having trouble reading a brand new Blu-ray of Avatar. Still kind of working, but not very well.  

The DVD drive was even worse. Immediately ejects any disc, asking for me to insert a disc. Seems to think a disc is some kind of foreign object or something.  

Kind of feel like the drives were tampered with, by a certain toddler...  

Replaced the DVD drive with a new Blu ray drive. Seems to be reading Avatar just fine now.  





On a related topic it is weird how difficult it is to play a Blu-ray on windows.

VLC Media Player, which is pretty proud of being able to play pretty much everything, requires a lot to play Blu-ray discs. Like 7 steps of adding different files to different locations.
