Sixth Sense dbl-layer problems? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Hey, I was wondering if anyone else was having problems with their Sixth Sense DVD's while trying to play them in their DVD-ROM. A friend of mine is very new to DVD and has had problems getting past the FBI warning on his disc. Has anyone else had, or heard of anyone having these types of problems?

Let me know, thanks.....

This relates to the rant I had about the ads you have to skip on The Sixth Sense that I posted the other day.

When I played the disc on my computer's DVD-ROM drive, I tried to skip the warnings and ads too quickly, and it froze up my DVD player software. I forced the player to quit in Task Manager, relaunched, it and skipped ahead only after a few seconds into play on each of the annoying sections, and it worked fine.

I assume your friend is probably having a different problem, since he's probably just letting it play and not skipping, but I thought I'd post my finding in the interest of completeness.

By the way, if you're angered by the ads too, please visit my site and respond to the Open Letter to Disney on my forum.
