Just finished watching this and noticed that the movie freezes up for a short while in Chapter 16 at about 1:21:55. I'm just wondering if anyone here can let me know if this is where the layer change occurs, or if my disc is defective? Thanks for any help. I've tried looking all over the internet for information and can only find where layer changes occur in various foreign versions of the disc, but no info on the R1 version.

No such problem on my copy.

I don't know where the layer change is, but my copy had the exact same problem in both of my players. I returned it for a new copy which plays fine.

I figured that maybe this thread I started when the DVD first came out might help since it talks about this very choppy release:
