DVD player pixels out after about 6 months?

Question

I keep buying new dvd players in order to play my backed up dvd's. They all start out fine, and play the dvd's great (dvd+r and dvd-r), but after about 6 months, they begin to pixel out while playing burnt dvd's.

I use DVDFab to burn my backups.

Any way to avoid this problem (via computer settings or dvd player type)?

Regards

Click the sun button near ? symbol - will be settings adjustment window. Then in left window select DVD -> Write -> Write Speed -> 2, 2.4, 4 maximum or Slowest. Decrease the Write Speed. If it is possible re-make your backup DVD again on PC. Don't forget about quality blank media, such as Verbatim.
