   Have you tried the same DVDs on a newer machine?  An older machine could start   
   developing problems tracking, among other things too.   
      
   I have an older LG player (with a hdd for recording) and it can take its time   
   to cue up a commercial DVD, and sometimes fail.  A retry by opening and   
   closing the tray will make it "kick in".  But the same discs cue and work   
   flawlessly in a Bluray capable player.
