Do you have DVDs that "freeze" for a second? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have noticed that on at least 4 of my dvds there is a point where the picture freezes for a second, like it is stuck, and continues.

It has happened on these dvds for me:

Mallrats
Starship Troopers
My Man Godfrey (Criterion)
Donnie Darko

On Donnie Darko, I looked up on the web and someone remarked that it was an anomaly on the disc- that it happens on some players and not others. So could it be a player problem as well?

Does anyone have a problem with the one second freeze on their dvds?

Yeah mine only happens on my Bringing Down the House DVD. All of my others seem to be fine.

It's a Toshiba.

I have read that this happens also due to a layer change on dvds.

But I know as far as Donnie Darko is concerned, that is supposed to happen at another point. Maybe I missed it.

It is just freaking annoying.

That happens with all my DVD's. Basically what mine does is about an hour into the movie, It'll stop for a few seconds, make a little noise, and then go to the next scene. I doesn't really bother me too much though. I just figured it was something that happens with all DVD players.
