I am having a problem with my DVD Player Toshiba SD2800 where the movie plays OK and without a problem for a while and then all of a sudden I start to see pixels pop up, then they become more frequent to a point that I lose sound and the DVD freezes (I have to turn off my player ).

-My DVD player is Toshiba SD2800
-My DVD-R drive is a LG4040B
-I use DVD Shrink 3.0 Beta 5
-I burn using Nero Express 6

I have used the followingf media all with the same results. some of them with printed labels and some without.

-Memorex
-Maxxell
-Princo

I guess my questions are :

Should my DVD player play DVD-R movies OK?
Can my DVD-r drive be the problem?

Do you guys recommend DVD players that seem to play DVD-R properly all the time. I know Sony has a couple that advertise the fact that they play DVD-R.

thanks

Carl
