Another way of ejecting a CD/DVD If you want to eject a DVD or a CD, you have to hold down the Eject key for a few seconds, otherwise, it won't eject. You can bypass the time delay however. You just have to press "Option - Eject" and it will eject instantly, without having to wait a few seconds. Make sure that this is not to be used as troubleshooting step, its just a tip for you to make your Mac act faster.
