Page 1 of What on earth is that all about ?

So there I am watching "End of Days" (R2) on my DVD 750S...All`s well, and then the picture stops dead 9but sound continues. Then After 30S or so, the sound disappears and the leaves the picture advancing VERY slowly....

by careful use of skip, I discover a section of the disc I can`t play (about 5 minutes)

Player fault ?
Disc fault ?
One of those things ?

It`s the first time I`ve been treated like this by my beloved system, and I`m feeling hurt !

Any clues most welcome

PS -I removed the disc, and it was spotless (yes 101% spotless).

Sounds like a disc fault - have you played any other discs since ?

My player`s currently involved in an ongoing feud with `City Hall` - anyone else had problems with this one ?

Follow up.

The "Frozen Images" occured in another part of the disc, a little later, but not to serious. So, being a thug, and somewhat of a student of physics, I took my spotlessly clean mirror like DVD and applied....T-Cut (yes you read correctly) to the surface.

Lot`s of vigourous polishing, and it definately plays better. (but still freezes from time to time)

Bloody Technology is too posh for it`s own good ....I don`t know, in my day etc etc.....

So you gave the silver ring a good buffing, but it`s still a little sticky.

Is that what you`re saying ?

Matron.

Nah, still sounds like a knackered disc to me, mate

Careful you dont f*** your disc by doing that! Do you know to polish against the grain? If not you run the risc of shafting your disc, royally.

Sorry if you knew that already.

Sounds like a sketch from Derek & Clive....

Thks for the Advice Mr Monga.

I forgot to mention it was a hired disk (not that that makes a difference). The surface still ooks pukka, but it plays a lot smoother than b4.

BTW - is this normal ? i.e. a seemingly perfect disk that freezes ? - have to admit to being somewhat taken a back ( I can only assume corrupted data outside of error correction range, as the transport was making a sound to die for when it was frozen)

Are we talking washing machine or combine harvester noise ?

Why are you bothering trying to fix a disc that isnt even yours? If you are sure that there is something wrong with the disc, dont bother trying to fix it and just try and get your money back!
