I did some homework for this question...
Recently I bought a burned set of Mystery Science Theater Episodes from a trusted retailer i've purchased from in the past.
However, this new set that I bought from him fails to work in my home DVD player or my computer, and has choppy playback instead. Oddly enough, the DVDs play in my PlayStation 2 without a problem.
Here is the data for the disk that will not work:

Any ideas why the first disk only works on the Playstation2, while has choppy, blocky playback on my other DVD players, yet the second one is totally fine?
And what can I do about it? Do I need a DVD player that's more compatible? And with what?
