Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Rodrick Rules - Freezing Problems?

Is anyone else having freezing problems with this blu-ray? The video on my copy keeps freezing for 2 or 3 seconds (audio keep going) before finally catching up.

I'm playing on a PS3, and tried other movies that are playing fine. Just wondering if I should exchange or just return if it's a widespread problem.

Watched it has a family on slim PS3 with no issues.

Boys watched it again in their rooms on an old BD30. While it took about 4-5 minutes to load into previews, there was no issues after that.

I have the same exact freezing problems on my PS3. I updated the software on the box to see if it made a difference and it did not. Wife says the picture is grainy too in the background. Other BDs play fine on the PS3.

Grainy? My copy plays fine on my PS3 Slim.

Maybe it's your player. I have one blu-ray player that works fine with dvds, but when it comes to blu-rays (at least certain ones) they will pause for a second or two then continue just fine. I don't know if this is a layer change (do blu-rays even have layer changes), but I'm thinking it's just because it's a cheap player. It was only 80 bucks.

No problems on my Sony S350 (other than the ridiculous amount of time it takes the damn thing to start up!) Blu-Rays are supposed to have seamless layer changes- regular DVDs are actually capable of it too, but only Superbit discs and the first Universal DVDs had them (the Universal discs had complaints of player compatibility problems.)
