we subscribe to blockbuster. i have a hundered dollar player that has a

We've only had problems a few times, on Netlfix DVDs that had seen
better days. I also often watch DVDs on my home PC (running Fedora
Linux so I use a program called Xine) and have never had a problem
with that.

the DVD's because I try them on two different drives
and some dvd's work okay.
It does make me wonder though if there
is a marginal improvement in reading movie DVD on
stand alone dvd players than in my PC drives.
Is the reverse true? Are they any higher quality
dvd drives that make be able to read more or the data?
Or is it more likely that I am just buying/playing
lemons?
