Disney DVDs always stutter / freeze

[Alex H]

Disney DVDs created in the last couple of years will not play direct from the drive

I have 2 systems one older than the other by 3 years or so, the newest being about 4 years old. neither will play relatively new Disney DVDs.

I have no problem with any other studio's output.

Changing cache parameters has no effect.

Is there anything I can do?

I notice a post from 5 years ago for this problem - is it still there?

(VLC on Windows is slightly worse - I then get blank screens as well)
