I have a Toshiba SD4800 and have teh same pause problem at the end of the morning report. if I play it on my PC there are no proeblems

Over at the HTF they're saying the pause that everyone is seeing after Morning Report is a layer change. An unusual place for one, so that's probably what is throwing everyone off.

Do you happen to have a link to that HTF thread? Much thanks!

HTF Review of Lion King

It's in one of the posts about 2/3 the way down the page.

Still not working!
 

Exchanged the disc.

Still won't play!

Anyone have a JVC721 or JVC723 and tried this disc?????

I was going to post this to ease everyones complaints. My Sony Dvd player can show the layer changes and this is where it is at. It is the earliest in a movie I have ever seen one but that is it.

I have a question, how do I play the theatrical version? When I hit play, it doesn't give me a choice..it just plays SE.

Rod! Yes! It's not just you... I've been through two discs now on my JVC 723 and am still plagued with problems (on my THIRD copy!). Finally got the movie to play (the player skipped the whole opening menu), but just after chapter 3 (morning report) the image began breaking up until the player froze & ejected the disc! I later managed to bring up the menu, and scene select past chapter 4, also to no avail, every chapter has image break-up & freezes the player.

I'm going to try contacting Buena Vista to see if they have any fix in store. I was going to replace my player after the New Year (when I replace my projector) with the Bravo D1, but I'd hate to have to wait until then to play it. My kids are killing me!!!

From the main menu pick setup for audio and video where you have the choice.

Hey Mark, Let me know what BV says.

I am finally being pushed into the using my HTPC as my primary DVD player since it will play the disc.

Yeah, the crap like the music video, games, commercials, etc. must take up most of the first layer.

Hrm, I have a panasonic (it was like 100 bux) and i have no issues at all.

I had no problems with the intial menu and movie. However, when I finished watching the movie I was not able to watch 2 of the extras because the audio was out of sync and/or choppy. I looked at the back of the dvd case and there is a warning that the material may not play on all dvd players. This is a first for me! Norcent d300 dvd player by the way.

With the layer change/"seamless" branch or whatever it is, does anyone else notice that one of Mufasa's lines is inaudible? It comes right after the "Morning Report" song. Do I have a defective DVD or is this just a particularly noticeable/bad transition?
