Pixelized picture in DVD player

my DVD player shows the picture, but it has fairly large and random pixelations when i try to watch. What is wrong with it? if you need i can email you a screen shot of it.

PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

My guesses are either a dirty/defective DVD, or a dirty/defective optical drive mechanism. If all DVDs do it, then most likely the mechanism. The usual advice is to try a lens cleaner, or something like partially inserting a credit card with a thin cloth over it to try to attract any lint. Failing that, it may require a new optical drive.
