I don't really know whether this is relevant but here goes: My G4 iMac with superdrive wouldn't read about half of the files on dual layer production DVD-ROMs, but everything else seemed normal. A couple years later it wouldn't read DVDs at all but would still read CDs and I had to replace it.
I'm suggesting of course that it may be a hardware problem. Especially if this is a new behavior. Good luck!
