Sorry, but I suspect it's your player.

In my experience, certain faults on certain players find an unholy match with certain faults in certain discs. The UHD format seems to be inherently fragile - both discs and players - to a degree I never saw with BD or DVD.

That said, have you tried cleaning the discs? UHD players have such sensitive lasers that the tiniest, invisible smudges can cause the picture to break up. I've had it happen most recently on Frenzy, which played fine after I cleaned it.

I cleaned the disc carefully but the problem persisted.

Oh well, at least it’s not one of the great Hitchcock films I’m missing out on.
