DVD Problems
Does anyone else's DVD skip almost the entire Birdman track? I'm wondering if it's just a faulty disk or if the actual DVD is screwed up (programmed wrong).

Don't bother exchanging!
It's your DVD player. I had the same problem, and took mine back. I had them test the new one at the store, and it worked fine. So, I brought it home and tried it. It didn't work. I then tried playing it in my PS2, and it worked fine.
So, apparently this is a problem with some DVD players. Mine is a JVC.

Hey Ax!
I was actually wondering that... my DVD player actually had trouble loading the DVD in general the first time I put it in. I'm gonna try it in my PS2 later.

I thought this was just happening to me! I pretty much freaked out 'cause I thought I couldn't watch the rest of it but then I just went to the next scene and "Clumsy" was perfectly fine. Still bummed out that I couldn't see the "The Birdman", but I fooled around with the remote and press the FF button a couple of times and it played the rest of the DVD without any problems.
BTW, my DVD player is Pioneer.

A friend of mine had this problem. He simply said that his DVD player wasn't working so well, anyway, so he put it in his computer, and it worked fine. I think he's got a Panasonic, or Sony or something. Something common, that's all I know.
