Anybody watch their SE DVD's lately? I found another rotter. The Man With The Golden Gun breaks up severely past the layer change, to the point of being unwatchable.

Are you sure this isn't the known mastering error with this dvd:

"Chapter 21 at the beginning of the car chase (81:30), the picture will pixelate and freeze up many DVD players. This was a mastering error and has been fixed. Supposedly, the fixed copies have *** around the title on the white sealing sticker on the top."

I have all the THX dvds as well as the SE dvds (took me a while to find a copy of Moonraker which hadn't rotted). I have backups of Moonraker and TSWLM, but this is a reminder to backup the rest.
