Sloppy layer change on Galactica....?

Vader · 11-25-2004, 04:20 AM

I just watched the episode "Greetings from Earth" on disc 5 of the epic Series box set, and was disturbed by a slight pause and interruption in sound that occured approximately 2:12 into the episode (at the tail end of the opening credits). This was completely reproducable, and was not accompanyed by any pixilation or anything like that. I believe disc 5 is a DVD-9, so I am hoping that this is simply a sloppy layer change. Everything else played fine (my player is a Denon DVD-1600P), and I am going to try it out on a friend's machine (Pioneer 414.... I think) to see if the same thing happens. Does anyone who also has this set recall this pause? TIA!

no, sorry. Sounds like a bad handling of a chapter stop to me.

I have a 414, I'll check it tomorrow

Your player must just be choking on a chapter. All fine here
