If you return it, you run the risk of not getting a new one back.

This. Not to get into topics we aren't supposed to discuss here, but this particular movie being problematic is a well-known issue in the ripping community right now. I'm about to send my second copy back to DiabolikDVD for file read errors. The first, I just thought maybe it was my computer drive. This second copy, I actually had the full disc rip sitting on my computer already through...other means...as a way to tell which files were erroring out, and sure enough...those same spots will not play back without freezing or glitching on my Sony X700, so...bad discs. I imagine there are a huge number of bad discs out there for this film. Man, I tell ya...it wouldn't be The Abyss without a problem like this... We finally get the discs, but...do we?? lol
