What causes movie DVD playback failure?
Some of my purchased DVD movies are beginning to have playback problems.
Somewhere near the middle of the movie the playback will begin to stutter and breakup, then pause a few times, then just stop altogether.
It seems to occur progressively on discs that previously showed no problems. The discs have no damage or soiling - they are spotlessly clean and in perfect condition.
I'm wondering if the problem is with my player. Maybe the laser is wearing out or the tracking mechanism? I have dozens of other movies old and new and they play fine. Just a few odd ones that at first played perfectly, and later started failing at certain spots.

More likely the player, if the discs are clean, undamaged. Be sure to check the label side of your discs as well. Mars or holes in the label can seriously affect playback of some older disks. Sometimes a laminar separation can ruin a disc.

Try simply a different player if you think that's a possible issue. PC, game system, or borrow someone else's. Also try a lens cleaner if you're player is more than a couple of years old. After that, replace the player. I mean, Walmart has new Sony DVD players for only $30, so it ain't as much of an investment as it would have been 5 year's or so ago.
