Iron Giant SE: Skipping Problems?

I recently purchased the Iron Giant: Special Edition which was released on November 16th.

I have a Toshiba DVD player and while watching this movie I have noticed skipping problems, where the movie will pause for two seconds, skip and then skip back two seconds and continue playing.

Anyone else have this problem? What can I do about it other than selling my DVD player, and/or returning the movie.

I just ordered the movie from DDD but have not received it yet, once I do I can let you know. I am sure others will post though before then.

Chemical, I experienced the exact same problem on my Toshiba SD-4900. I noticed that the skip often corresponded with the branching documentaries when the feature was not engaged.

It sounds so far to be a Toshiba DVD player problem.

My disc works perfectly on a PS2, my laptop, and my Pioneer.

Nope, it played flawlessly on my Toshiba 4800... but, with the exception of a defective disc, it has played everything I've thrown at it.

I realized what the problem is, it's our model of Toshiba. I also have the SD-4900. I am going to contact Toshiba and see if there has been a firmware upgrade that I may have missed or if there is something that can be done about it.

This is what I'm doing about my Toshiba dvd player problems.
I hope no one gets mad at me for posting this.
I've had problems with two Toshiba dvd players in the past and bought a Sony as a replacement.
No problems what so ever with the Sony.

This is the first time I have ever had a problem with my Toshiba 4900. It plays everything I have ever thrown at it (other Regions, PAL, VCD, etc) flawlessly. It is having a problem with the branching on this particular disk. The disc does a kind of stutter at the locations of the branching.

I have a Toshiba SD2200 (5 year old player) and it plays a-okay on that. Have watched it a few times on that player (all the features, with commentary, etc.).
