My internal DVD drive clicks (checks for a disc) from time to time

Still need ideas.

Try the command

sudo hal-disable-polling --device /dev/dvd

in a terminal. If you use it, you will lose the convenience of automatic
disc detection. And with the command

sudo hal-disable-polling --device /dev/dvd --enable-polling

you can enable polling again.
