Several things to try and other questions:

- What are the movie formats: I.E. MKV, M2TS or what?

- Does the player do this on another computer?

- Does VLC play video that is on the hard drive such as one that was saved locally?

- What is the data transfer speed between the LG player and the PC?

- What video card do you have and how much memory is on the card, as some have special settings for video?

- Do the DVDs play on another player?

Since you said DVD I am guessing these are not Blu-Ray as their format on disk is different and while VLC will play their M2TS video files, I found I had to extract them first as it would hang. I bought the pro version of ISO Buster that lets you pull the M2TS Blu-Ray and then that easily plays in VLC and also through a share drive to my Samsung Blu-Ray player.
