If you don't have the money the cheapest way is probably to get an usb external DVD drive and leave the jammed one in. If you have the time then: iMac Intel 20" EMC 2133 and 2210 Optical Drive Replacement I had a similar problem with my Superdrive on my PowerBook. I ended up just taking it apart because I got irritated by the noise of my computer trying in vain to cough out the DVD. You could pick up a new Superdrive get the right tools and with a calm room, some patience it is very possible and fun to fix it. Good Luck!

I can take my computer apart but I can't get rid of that first note I wrote!.
I had a very similar revelation. On step 53 of the strip down the lower mounting screw was missing and when I opened the optical drive there it was. Unfortunately, the super-drive is kaput and looks as if I will have to do the whole process again to install a new one.
I did this. It takes time but you do get there eventually.
A big help for me was to have a square of cardboard(corrugated fiberboard to be precise) the size of the mac next to it as I took out the screws. As I took a screw out I pushed it into the cardboard and made a simple reminder of what layer it came from.
This kept all the screws separate, safe and quick to remember.
Of course I some soft material underneath as well just in case something did slip out.
