Your first problem sounds like overscan. TVs cut off up to 5% of the video at the top and sides of the screen. A computer monitor shows it all. You want to avoid putting any buttons, etc., near the edges of the screen. Subtitles have this problem all the time. The amount not shown varies with the TV.

The second problem with playing can be caused by several things. It might be your standalone player, try a different one. It might be the DVD media you are using, try a different brand. Or it could be something in the burning process that went wrong, or even a earlier problem in the creation of the DVD. But the first two items are the most common causes.
