"Amarcord", a Fellini movie I bought on DVD about 3 years ago, won't play right. It gets about 5 minutes into the movie and starts breaking into pixels. Then it starts freezing up.
Then the sound drops out. The more chapters into the
movie I get, the worse it gets until all you see is a
rainbow of huge pixelatted chunks.
There are no scratches on the disc and no signs of layer separation, haziness, or anything unusual at all. When I bought the disc 3 years ago, it played fine. Now it's defective. The disc isn't at all warped, and doesn't make any strange noises as it spins. I have tested it in two players (toshiba sd-2109 and PSX2) and neither can read the disc properly. It has been stored in its case at normal room temperatures since I bought it.
I have no idea at all what is happening. I fear this could happen to other DVD's as well. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Matt
