No, they don't. I believe that the formats have a provision for a seamless layer change if the disc is authored properly.

HD discs of both formats have seamless layer changes, however when playing back standard DVDs the players are not necessarily seamless.

I think on my A1, I may have noticed 1-2 layer changes on my dvds. Most aren't noticeable for me.

There is aslight pause on the Clerks 2 HD DVD that is reproducable, and I know others have seen it too (it's when the van(?) is pulling out of the Mooby's lot). Not sure if that's a poorly authored disc or some other problem.

Layer Change FYI

The Layer Change has everything to do with the players firmware, not the disc authoring!

I also remember Clerks 2 having a slight pause, but that's the only pause on an HD disc that I've encountered.
