The fact that it will play on your daughter's indicates the DVD is ok. I had the same problem of DVD+ not playing well on my 4 y.o. Pioneer but ok on the computer DVD rom.
Your solution is the right one, get a new player. I purchased a Sony that specifically says it will play the DVD+R/RW formats (less than $100). Since then, I can play everything without any errors or mess-ups.
It's not the price of the player, it's when it was made. My Pioneer was made before the DVD+ format caught on and still works great on commercial and DVD-formats. Your daughters is probably just a newer generation unit.
