Is there anything to try to get a "clean-looking" non-working DVD to play in a player? I rent alot and most play fine, but I seem to have a problem with Hustler DVDs. Anyone else find these difficult to play? They look fine. (Obviously if a DVD is cracked or has scratches I don't expect it to play or play well without skips.) I do try to simply clean them, once I put one unplayable one in the freezer for a minute and it played fine after that.

My problem with Hustler discs have only been in getting to the menu, once there it works fine, but it takes many many attempts (and opening, closing, powering down, etc) to get them to play. (Again, they look fine.)

Anything else to try? DVD player is a 1999 Panasonic.

Older Panasonic players are notorious for having problems playing some discs (more info). With DVD players relatively cheap now (I could buy up to 10 cheap DVD players for the price that I bought my first DVD player for 6 years ago), I would consider buying a new unit.

I had trouble with a couple of Hustler titles as well, but a quick firmware flash to my player fixed things right up.

That's probably what I need. Were you able to download it and (I presume?) burn it to a CD to install, or were you able to get the upgrade mailed to you from the manufacturer? I don't think I'll mess with it unless it is something foolproof.

Whoops---I have a Phillips DVD player...not Panasonic.
