SuperDrive won't burn after Yosemite update

Question

Dear Support Community,
I have an Apple USB SuperDrive connected to my mid-2011 Mac Mini (2.5GHz dual-core i5) and recently updated to the Yosemite operating system.  Following the update, I receive error messages whenever I try to burn a DVD (I have not tried to burn a CD recently).
I've done some quick searches and the closest thing I found was a suggestion to rename the com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist file.  I have not tried that yet, but will likely do so shortly.
Might anyone else have had this problem and be willing to share their solution?
Thanks so much,

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to launch Mail. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
