I haven't had that bad luck recently but I do recall one year where it seemed like every other disc I got had issues. In your case it sounds like it could be a little of both, bad discs and a player that is starting to wear out.

I think you might need a new DVD player lol. But yeah, it really irks me when I get a bad disk, especially in a box set like that, cause it's such a hassle to get it replaced. I haven't bought much recently, but I can't recall that happening a lot to me of late. But the DVD industry probably IS in the decline since blue rays are getting so popular. Another thing that really irks me is that FFVII Advent Children Complete is only on the blue ray. D: Not that you needed to know that specific thought, but it still sucks.
Some players are temperamental about some discs, and I've noticed that with some of mine, too. A DVD will work fine on one player, but some on another I'll notice minor glitches. But still, if the disc had been up to snuff, it probably shouldn't be doing that on any player at all.
Box set. It's all four of the Star Trek movies with the Next Generation crew plus a bonus disc. So I'd probably have to exchange the entire set just to replace one disc. -3-
DVDs have gone down hill. With the invention of Blue ray discs and what not, the quality of the good old DVD has gone down. I'm disappointed in them because they don't have as many special features as they use to. I'm quite disappointed. I've had several bad discs like that glitch,skip,and all kinds of crap. Sorry about your DVD troubles. Hope you get it fixed soon.

My Baki The Grappler DVDs do that. I bought those brand new and disc one was glitching out on me, then later on discs 4 and 5 started to play wonky.
Though the DVDs in my Dragon Box box sets play just fine in my personal player and the family player. Both sets are by Funimation too.
Were the DVDs you gotten part of a box set or singles?

@Rainbow Dragon:
Yeah, its constantly coming across bad DVDs that makes me think more and more of making the switch to Blu-Ray.
