ABSTRACT:
A disc drive, and method of automatically ejecting a disc from a disc player. The method comprises selecting a main title from a plurality of titles recorded on the disc and storing a playback time of the main title in a memory, and determining whether the main title is playing, or has played, back. Upon determining that the main title is playing or has played back, the playback time of the main title is compared with a time required for playback of the main title stored in the memory and determining whether playback of the main title has terminated. Upon determining that playback of the main title is terminated, the disc is ejected by driving an unloading device.
