I have made several DVD packages for family and friends and ran into very much the same problems even with the new home dvd players. After much experimentation and many shredded DVDs, I found the answer. Believe it or not, the burn speed was the determining factor. The superdrive on my iMac can burn at 24X. If I burn at 10X, all the players seem to play/read the dvd fine. I am testing 12X now.
It appears that during dense data streams like transitioning from the menu to submenus or clips, many readers cannot read the data fast enough from disks burned at high speeds. I would guess that the professional sources you got them from are indeed burning at top speeds (Time is money). I would take the problem back to them, there may be other customers with the same problems.
