Does anyone do one? Such mech info seems extremely difficult to find.
I'm looking for the kind of 'quality' mechanism found on high end CD players (but obviously I also need DVD functionality).

With a target price of 30$, you only
get platic crap. You can always bring one
to your local mechanic and have it
remade from whatever material.
The target price is <$200

Now, order ten thousand at that price, and you may get beautiful results.
With onsies, you are not going to get quality for $200.

I'm not talking about complete CD/DVD players, but drives.
You know - the ones people put in computers to read/write DVD/CDs.
Typical price for crap - $30.
What quality ones exist?
