Question

Answer 2

If you know how and can, then copy just the 'MAIN MOVIE' part of the dvd to a blank dvd using the correct software. This will re-distribute the movie back onto a single-layer disk, as opposed to the compression of a dual-layer disk. Without all the other stuff on the dvd, it will play GREAT... But it takes a lot of learning if you wanna be burning ;-) Example: the new Final Destination 3 will pause and freeze during the last 30 minutes of the 'Theatrical Version'. When I went to make a copy of just the 'main movie' I had to choose between 'Theatrical Version', 'Theatrical Version Angle 2', 'Thrill-Ride Version', 'Thrill-Ride Version Angle 2', 'Full Screen Version' and 'Full Screen Version Angle 2'. Each of these is on ONE disk as a FULL movie! That's 6 (SIX) movies compressed onto one dvd. It's compressed so much, no wonder it won't play! LOL-NOT! So, I just copied the 'Theatrical Version' and it plays perfectly now! Before I could copy dvds though, the only solution was to get another dvd player that hopefully had more updated firmware to decompress everything. I use DVD Shrink & Sonic by the way. I put DVD Shrink & Nero on my mom's computer and it's even easier!!!!!! Good Luck!
