I have one machine that has this problem - it can no longer access the DVD after the media check. But if I reboot, and skip the check, it works. (The DVD passes the check.) I keep meaning to look into this, and get enough details for a bug report. But I start playing with the new version, and I forget about it again. Just to make things interesting, The same DVD works in another machine after doing the check, so it is something about the first machine.
