Can anyone advise me as to why a Region 1 DVD disk won't play without jumping -
on DVD players which have been "made" multiregion?

I have a DVD import which seems to play for about 15 - 20 minutes then starts
jumping.

This happens on 2 different DVD players so it can't be the DVD.

When the DVD is placed in another DVD - or the same scene played at a later
date it doesn't jump. So it can't be the disk?


It could still be the disc, it might have encoding errors that cause
problems on some players but not others. I have a couple of R2 discs
with a slightly corrupted mpeg data stream that crash one of my Philips
players*, but play fine on the PC.

*It seems to accumulate the errors up to the point where it freezes,
incidentally about 20 mins too...
Play the disc from 10 mins in, and it crashes at 30 mins...
