I'd still like to figure out the problem the HD-DVD players are having with the movie though. Was it the NTSC versions that were causing the problems? And has anyone had any problems in other players? I'd like to get this issue resolved for the DVD-9

I am actually wondering if hempler is playing the NTSC version as well.

I have the NTSC version. Basically, when it is playing, the timing counter stops counting, then the disc freezes about 5-10 seconds later.

There is a lag in the transition from the Adywan logo to the main title screen of the menu.

On the main menu title, it freezes right after "A NEW HOPE REVISITED" appears, and doesn't transition to the menu screen. From there, none of the menu transitions advance correctly. They all freeze, and I have to scan forward to get it to move.

When playing the movie, it runs fine until 2min, 13sec and the freezes. If I scan forward a little, the movie actually jumps back a few seconds and then starts playing. It will play for anywhere between 10 seconds and 1 minute, and then freezes again.

The sign that it is going to freeze is the time stops running forward. I haven't had the chance to see what it is doing with the bitrate, and if that has anything to do with it. Honestly not sure how I would be able to tell, but I am happy to collect as much data as possible to let you know.

Just to make sure, I have updated the firmware and it still happens, so that's not the problem.

Any other info I can provide, please let me know.
