In some cases, unrecognized media can cause the drive to spin the disk endlessly and stop responding (to the point that damage to the drive and/or disk can result) -- this is what happened to a number of DVD drives a couple of years ago:

Q4: What could happen if I accidentally load a blank "high-speed" disc in my Pioneer DVD-R/RW Recorder / Writer drive prior to updating it, and what should I do in such case?
A4: Pioneer DVR-7000 DVD-R/RW Recorders: after inserting a blank "high-speed" disc, in some cases the Recorder might stop responding to all operation commands with the disc loaded inside the tray. In case of such a suspicious hang-up, it is important to disconnect the unit from the power outlet as soon as possible.
After waiting a few moments, plug in the power cable again, switch on the power of the Recorder, and immediately push the "open/close" button. The tray will now open and the disc can be removed.
Please note that when the DVR-7000 is left for a certain period of time in this "hang-up" status, the "pickup" part may be damaged and become unable to read or write discs. In addition there is a possibility that the inserted disc will then be damaged.
