Well, I watched the "new" Star Wars DVD in its entirety yesterday.
There's an abrubt pause after Tarkin says, "Terminate her--immediately!". I believe that this was the disc-flipping/switching transition point for the laserdisc. For the DVD, the transtion (for what I presume is a DVD layer-switch now) has been pulled off rather clumsily.

Yes, that's the point of the layer change. There are some DVD players that imperceptibly switch layers- you may want to get one of those eventually. I'm definitely going to check one of those out for my next DVD player.
BTW- the layer change for ESB is the scene where Leia is looking out of the cockpit and sees the mynocks, and for ROTJ it's the point where Wicket enters the picture.
