hangs as in stops the image dead in its tracks. upon messing with it more it also seems to have a couple more minor "hangs" almost immediately after the first big one which occurs in chapter 20 @ 1:18:57. Now this is interesting..i just tried it again and instead of it just forcing a pause mode thats incredibly hard to get out of, it the dvd has now "paused" and pixelized the entire image (low res pixels i might add). I find this to be odd as I've watched both the Matrix and Bug's Life on this player repeatedly without a problem.
Then again the DVD is manufactured by USA Home Entertainment (a company I'm not familiar with).
disc serial number appears to be 440 044 999-2

someone verify that I'm not crazy....
