Have you tried the same DVDs on a newer machine?  An older machine could start
developing problems tracking, among other things too.

I have an older LG player (with a hdd for recording) and it can take its time
to cue up a commercial DVD, and sometimes fail.  A retry by opening and
closing the tray will make it "kick in".  But the same discs cue and work
flawlessly in a Bluray capable player.
