Page 1 of Why do my discs pause ?.

I ve just bought my first dvds, Gladiator and Braveheart.
Both of these discs pause for a second and then start again. Apart from that they are fine. Do I have faulty discs or a fulty player or is there a reason for them doing this .

When you say pause, do you mean like always in the same place and half way through? Is the Gladiator pause when the bird is talking to Commodus? If so then that is the layer change on the disc and it`s perfectly normal to experience a slight pause. As a rule the better players have shorter pauses.
