Layer Change on The World is Not Enough (Special Edition)?

I`m playing the above DVD on an Aiwa 370 and also on a Toshiba PC hosted DVD-ROM.

Can anyone confirm that the hesitation I see at the Chapter 9 to 10 transition (just as they get into the helicopter) is a layer change.

I am really quite surprised by this because I read that the Aiwa 370 was particularly good at handling layer changes. My Toshiba DVD-ROM also hesitates - but much less noticeably.

All assistance much appreciated. Thanks.

MY Matsui 110 has a 1/2 - 1 second freeze at that point, the layer change does not work well on that disc for some reason. plus i get sound breaks during Chapter changes which is annoying.

It aint good at it, it`s actually EXCELLENT at it!!

that definitely makes it sound like a duff disc.
Try it in a freinds player, or try what I said in the email to you!

AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!!!
