Okay, to be fair, he said that the discs do the same thing on every player he's tried, so something is weird about the discs. There's only one thing that I can even remotely fathom here, and that is that these discs are re-writable, and they were altered by a DVD recorder.

So, Stupid, I must ask: is your original player a recorder, and/or the discs re-writable recordables?

Mr. HD is correct in saying that there is nothing we can comprehend that anyone can do to alter a factory-recorded movie disc, unless again, they were burned. Please don't be upset by our incredulity.
