DVD will only play on certain players ???

[Old Geezer]

I recently bought Luciano Ercoli's Death Box Set containing Death Walks on High Heels and Death Walks at Midnight. The latter plays perfectly on everything I've tried. However, the former will play about 3/4 through on my Sony BDP-S570 before it freezes - skips to the very end. It does the same thing on my LG BD550 multi-region player. I have an older Sony BDP-350 in my bedroom that will play the movie straight through with no problem. I also dug an old Panasonic DVD player out of my closet and it too plays the movie with no problem.
What would cause this problem where only certain players will play a movie? I did examine the DVD itself and I can see no scratches or marks of any kind on the disc.
