I purchased this in October 2007. I was very glad to get it: it
contains the only letterboxed version of the movie.

I played it at once, of course. So far as I can recall, it played
fine.

It recently came up for viewing again. Now it stalls and skips
starting at 1:17 until 1:18 (on my usual DVD player), making about a
minute of the movie unwatchable. (On my secondary DVD player, playback
froze at 1:17, which is in the midst of Chapter 17, and Chapter 18
would not play at all. On my computer, the situation was similar. The
disc is unmarred. The machines were turned off prior to use. This is
definitely a disc problem.)

This applies solely to the letterboxed version. I have never tried the
fullscreen version (the movie disc is two-sided), but the fullscreen
side does have a nasty-looking scratch on it.

Is this a known problem? Was there ever a program intended to fix it?

Thanks for any help.
