On my Pioneer combo LaserDisc/DVD player, the DVD freezes at a number of spots in the menus. Going into the Main Menu, it will freeze, but I can “skip” to the menu itself. At that point, however, selecting Play Movie will freeze hard and the only thing I can do is to eject the disc. I’ve been able to play the movie by going through a more circuitous route (Setup Menu to Resume Movie). On a second cheaper DVD player I have (CyberHome CH300) the menus don’t have the freeze problem, *but* the highlights showing which “button” is selected (for Enter) disappear from the screen within a second after getting onto the menu.

Thinking at first it was a defective disc, I took the original back and exchanged it, but the second disc had *exactly* the same behavior, which leads me to think it’s some kind of pressing problem (or perhaps the software on the disc itself causes problems for DVD players reading it).

Have problems been noted by any others for this DVD?
