Pirates 3 Dvd Question.... Does Your DVD Seem To Skip

[nodoubter9203]

in the 12th scene of the movie because i returned 1 dvd and got another one and it skips in the same spot it shows them all on the boat from a distance then it pauses for a second then goes right into the scene when elezibeth is on the dutchman talking to will's dad.....

[Isidour]

mmm mine hasn't but if I'm not mistaken it is usual that on DL-DVDs there's a little jump when turning from layer to layer

[nodoubter9203]

i brought mine from target... i returned it once before and extanged it another one but it seems to skip in the same spot right in the beginnig of scene 12 it shows them sailing then it pauses and skips right into elizabeth and san fang talking about releaing clypso.... so what am i not seeing in that spot.... the rest of the whole dvd played fine

My DVD does that as well. I don't know if that is intentional, but wondering why it skips? Hopefully, if and when I get the Blu-ray, the film won't skip.

it's a layer change people! It's supposed to happen!

Sheesh.

Sheesh.

ok if it susposed to be a scene change wouldn't it be a lot smoother of a transition than it is..... i never had that problem before with other movies and alot of other people were returning the movie to target cuz of it skipping also..... i wrote disney bout the problem so we'll see what they say bout it

Dave is right, it is indeed a layer switch. On dual layer DVDs there are two surfaces in the disc. This is why some DVDs can hold up to 4 hours of video on them. The only problem with this is that it can take some DVD players a moment to pass through the first layer to get to the second, thus making a slight pause.

yeah this happens with my lion king DVD. it's normal guys.

[Isidour]

and what did I tell?

Like others have said thats where the layer change is.

Depending on your player you might notice a small skip, or almost no skip. It just depends on how good the player is at handling a layer change.

I noticed it a little when I watched the DVD the first time on one of my players. It was slight, but not bad. I have seen DVDs that are a lot worse than At World's End. Watching Rush Hour 2 last night near the end is a big skip for the layer change.

Also on one of my players there is a minor skip during Bambi II because of a layer change.

As others have said its normal, and there isn't anything wrong with your DVD.
