I've been running into this with several recently purchased DVD players. Even though they state they will play DVD+R discs (such as those put out by Warner Archives) they freeze, skip or don't even load.
I know the problem isn't the discs because they play flawlessly on my other older (5 years old) DVD players. On DVDs I create I use Taiyo Yuden / JVC media so the issue isn't low quality media.
However in the last few months I've purchased three DVD players that were complete junk.
Philips DVP3650K All Multi Region Code Zone Free DVD Player
Pioneer DV-420V-K Multi-Format 1080p Upscaling DVD Player
and one other one I can't remember. Tried to buy a decent quality player but they all have 80% failure rates.
Will a Blu Ray player read and play DVDs better? What about a PS3?
About half of my DVDs are DVD+Rs (Taiyo Yuden / JVC) and I'm going nuts trying to find something that will play them as well as my players that are 5 years old.
I need to buy two of them and I just can't handle buying another piece of junk.
