Jrand, this is a problem I had with my original test disc and was told it was my older OPPO player - but that it was just the test disc. But it happens with the real disc, too. And it's happened on a couple of other players that are older - they think it may have something to do with the 24-bit soundtrack and players trying to buffer it upon loading, but I don't understand any of that. They're doing a test. It works fine in my Apple external DVD drive so it does work. What would be helpful is to know the make and model of your player. Can you please get me that?
