I've been encountering this problem more and more. I'm talking about DVDs that "freeze up" on you.Ii'm watching a DVD and then it freezes up, gets stuck on an image. Sometimes I can forward it to the next chapter or sometimes the entire rest of the DVD from that point is "stuck" and unplayable. Amd I've tried different DVD players, the problem still occurs.
I once went through four different DVD copies of Where Eagles Dare with the same problem. Everytime I exchanged it, the same problem would occur at the same place.
What's going on here? I can't be the only person going through this.

While this happens occasionally to me, it never has been a persistent problem (and I have 4 players).
I either reboot the machine or clean this DVD. Try cleaning the DVD and looking for obvious defects.

What type of DVD Player do you have? Have you try playing the DVD on a different player and see if the problem persist? I have several DVD players (2 Sony, 1 Toshiba, 1 Onkyo, 1 PC). And when I notice problem on one player, I would try it on another player. Sometimes problem only on a specific player, sometimes problem on all players. Then I know if it's the DVD that's causing the problem.
