Title: Defect in Pilot episode
Review: There is a problem with disc 1 side A at 1:22:56. It occurs right when Sonny glares at Wheeler while they are sitting in the car. The picture freezes for half a second and then resumes. More disconcerting though is that after playing it a few times, the video would freeze for a few seconds and then skip to where Calderone reaches for the gun in his waistband. I could no longer position the disk anywhere in the skipped area. Reinserting the disk did not fix the problem (this is on a high-end Sony player). On a DVD player from a different manufacturer, the DVD gets a media read error at the problem spot.I returned the DVD set as defective and got another one. The freeze again occurs at 1:22:56. It resumes, but I'm worried the disk will eventually exhibit the skip problem. I also don't like that this defect occurs just before my favorite part of the episode, when "In the Air Tonight" plays while Sonny and Rico are driving.How widespread is this problem?
Is the review positive or negative?
