Has anyone else had the DVD freeze up on you when Aragorn is dragged off the cliff and beyond?

I checked Usenet and this is not an isolated incident.

I'm playing it on my DVD-ROM since the rest of my stuff is packed up.

Is it like a breif pause that happens for less than a second, maybe halfway through one of the disks?

If so, then that's just the layer change.

You put two seperate layers on one side of a disc so it can hold nearly twice as much data. But it also means that when the player switches reading one layer to the other, a slight pause (whose length depends on individual player models and DVD titles) occurs around the middle of the film usually (often where it won't be noticed very well or will be unobtrusive). Sometimes it's hardly noticable, but other times it's obvious.

You can tell a dual layered disc because they're gold rather than silver.

Since the LOTR films have two dual-layerd discs, you encounter two layer changes.

Eh....I'll buy it when it comes out in November. I have more than enough money to buy it, but what's the point of having two...? I can wait, and watch it at a friend's if need be.

I got it for 13.99$ at Target. And I am sure Wal-mart and Best buy have comprable prices
For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;

Got the movie last night for $14.87 at Walmart.

I have watched it twice now. Honestly, I enjoy watching LotR as much as, if not more than, I enjoy the original StarWars Trilogy.
