If a DVD Plays Erratically
Dirt or smudges can cause a disc to skip. Clean the disc with

If You Get a Region Code Error When Playing a
DVD Movie
DVDs can have regional codes embedded in the disc data. These
codes prevent DVD movies from being played outside the region
of the world in which they are sold. If you get a Region Code

region.
