DVD Movie on Samsung BD-P2550 "pauses"

[Dynamo of Eternia]

I've had a lot of DVD playback issues with my Samsung BD-P1200.

In some cases, I will get brief little split-second pauses in the picture. It almost looks like a layer change, only the audio keeps going, and after the pause, the picture then resumes where it should be. This can happen several times throughout a movie.

Then there are times where in the middle of a movie, things just get all glitchy and freeze up entirely. Sometimes this even happens with a brand new DVD that I just bought and opened up (I still get DVDs from time to time for TV series and even the occasional movie that isn't on Blu-Ray), so it's not like the disc even had time to get dirty at all.

And I won't even go into some of the BD playback issues with this player.


Most of the time, I just end up putting the disc in my PS3, and it plays back just fine.

are these pauses on Samsungs physical problems or just units that require better firmware updates? The 2550 has awesome picture quality especially on standard dvds.
