yup. sony dvd player here. they do fine when using my machine w/ a sony burner (and b's rec. gold), but not so well when using the lg and sony dvd player...
and they freeze at (or very, very close to) the same spot every time. my folks dig floyd and coltrane... so i give them a couple of dvds of each. we watch over christmas on their $ony system... freeze frame. the same spot i get the freeze on my dvd player. and the same spot my neighbor gets the frozen screen.
guess i'm going to invest in some new hardware in a few weeks. that's probably my best bet... geez. i sound like a consumer whore...
thank you guys for your help. i'm going to try a new burner and Ones before getting back i do any more complaining...
