I'm pretty sure there is a reasonable amount of unit to unit variation in DVD drive performance. Possibly due to sweatshop labour doing delicate electro-optical assembly. I've got this one LG DVDRW drive that can get clean reads off discs that most other drives can't. That's particularly valuable for dealing with rental or library movies.

If it isn't too illegal or immoral for you, I'd suggest finding such a talented drive and saving Netflix movies to a hard drive as .iso (or making an mkv if you don't watch extras) and playing them with a WDTV Live or Seagate media player. You could always erase them after watching. And this would allow turning around the netflix dvds faster and getting more rentals per month (if that's how it works).
