If you press button and hear a noise, that the latch is jammed and will need to be pried open. If you pry it open it will usually work fine after. It actually helps re-align the doors gear timing when pulled open completely.
If you do not hear a noise, than the motor that release the door has burn out and you will need to pry the door open to get dvd out.
Also you can try turning off camera, press and hold eject button while powering up camera. Keep holding the button. Also make sure the batteries are NEW! Many cameras won't work with even a half dead battery.
I would remove the screws, remove covers and open manually. May need little flathead screwdriver to lightly pry apart.
Did it work for you?
Pry it apart or remove the screws and take out tape that way. The gears timing is off which is a very common problem.

The question is whether or not any noise is heard when attempting to eject the DVD. If no noise is heard, the motor could be jammed and attempting to force or turn any gears could result in the mechanism getting out of alignment. Try removing any batteries and power to force a system reset. If the sensors are sending info to the internal CPU that are contradictory, the unit will freeze. The "hard" reset described above, will reset all of the sensor readings. If the unit continues to fail, please seek an authorized Hitachi service center for assistance. This is not a problem that is likely to resolved remotely.
Good luck and please keep us posted.

A tape won't eject. Try turning off the camera and then turning it on with the eject button pressed down. Remove all power (including lithium batteries) and leave the camera off for 30 seconds. Then reinstall the batteries and turn the camera on with the eject button held down.
You can also try resetting the device by removing the battery for about a half hour...
Remove the battery wait a few minutes and then reinstall, then try to eject.
found that the cover plate around the flash hot shoe only has a single screw. If you remove it and pull up the cover you gain access to the gear and lock mechanism. Hit eject and if necessary press on the white gears you see in front of the zoom switch. It should then cause the door mechanism to unlock and open.
Tap the sides of the cam corder.press the eject button continuously.

I can't eject the dvd disc from my Hitachi dz-mv230e camcorder
You must be looking at the wrong camcorder. I've just taken the cover off that you suggested,, there were three screws not one as you said and you still can't see anything to do with the door. Any more ideas
