Hi Jay

You could try a CD/DVD player cleaner on the DVD player. sometimes there is a buildup of dirt on the laser.

Failing that try another brand of DVd player.

If the fault still shows up it is the DVD itself. Some players can be particularly sensitive while others you could nearly plaster with strawberry jam and they would still play LOL

I think mine is the sensitive type. <_< Pay a fortune for it and one slight dust particle and whammo--it will not work.

Hi Jay, i've got a Sony player (if that means anything?) and only had problems in playing 2-3 rented DvDs. What I tried to do when trying to play these was cleaning my player a few times to using a 100% cotton cloth to clean any fingerprint or other smudges off the underside of the disk. Well, neither option worked unfortunately. I did buy one used DvD from a place and have not had trouble with it even though the disk itself does have some scratches on it. I heard that there was a product that you could rub onto it called: "Last." It was originally designed for vinyl records and once you rub some onto the surface, it removes all grit-dirt etc and covers the surface with a tiny amount of I think, Silicone.

Anyway, "Last" was originally for records but I can't see why one can't use it to clean DvDs? Some friends of mine used this stuff and got only great results.

Best regards--C.
