Unless the player is overheating I would have thought it's a firmware issue first and a player laser issue second. I've had similar problems, if it's in the exact same spot (which you've said it isn't) it's probably a firmware issue, if it isn't it might be an overheating problem. If you turn the BD player on and go straight to the where the issues take place does it still glitch?
Right ok, might give that a shot.
It's always in the exact same spot but sometimes it differs slightly.
eg. Happens at a specific point. I take the disc out, give it a wipe down etc etc, put it back in and go to the same place. The same problem occurs but it might happen a second later or the glitching happens in a different way.
I've tried Iron Man 3 about 6 times and it's always at that same point.

EDIT: Took the casing off. There was barely any dust but gave it a wee clean anyway. Put it back together, used the cleaning disc and then tried Star Trek Into Darkness and no change. Done it exactly at the same bit in my video and then continued to played fine at exactly the same bit too. There are another couple of bits (can't remember where exactly) that it happens at. What's strange is that it's not like its just the 1 disc that's scratched or something. It's been 4 brand spanking new discs that are immaculate.

I don't understand how if it's a player problem then it only does it for a minute or so at different bits on different discs. It's so random. Surely if there was a problem it would do it on any disc.
