SAM Multimedia means that the system is having trouble reading the DVD.

 

You need to reburn the DVD at the slowest speed possible. If available, use a different brand or different type (dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd-rw, dvd+rw) of media.

 

If that fails, then see if you can update the firmware of your optical drive.
