If my memory isn't faulty didn't early Disney DVDs have problems
because they weren't being authored to the proper dvd specs? I can't
remember the titles but even my Apex 600A was having trouble with
Disney DVDs we bought brand new for my nephew pixelating and freezing
up and this was also way back about five or six years ago. Since you
tried it in multiple dvd players I can only assume either the glue
holding the dvd layers is loosing cohesion or it's just a bad pressing.
