Region 1 Abyss (Special Edition)

I have a samsung 709 and I have just sat and watched this great film...However, there are several points at which the DVD just freezes. In most cases, I lose about 20 seconds of film.
Is this a known problem with the disc (or the player) and what can I do about it. It really spoiled an otherwise brilliant film.

RE: IS IT WORTH GETTING REGION 1 OR REGION 2 DISCS?

Region 1 discs are alway released before their european counterparts which gives you the chance to view films before they are released here.
Region 1 usually gives more extras on the disc as well.

Make sure that your player can play them first though. Check the list on this site.

RE: Problem with Deep Blue Sea and cheap players

A cheap player it may be, but not when I bought it.
Besides, it still rates very highly in what DVD.
Nevertheless, a DVD player is a DVD player and such should have no problems playing any discs and manufacturers should test thier discs on all the popular players (Samsung being one of them) :)

RE: Problem with Deep Blue Sea

If it is a layer change, then that`s fine. But that doesn`t explain why the subtitles suddenly appear when I have watched the previous 52 minutes without them.

Problem with Deep Blue Sea

I am posting this message to see if anyone else has had the same problem with this movie.
I own a samsung DVD709 which has been region hacked using an Aiwa remote. When I played deep blue sea, at approx 53 minutes into the film, it froze for about a second. The rest of the film continued (but with subtitles). I took it back to get a replacement DVD but this one did the same.
Is this a fault with my player or is this another victim of the matrix syndrome?.

Can anyone recommend good sites for buying region1 DVDs cheaply?

Heading speaks for itself.
