Ratatouille playback on Samsung BD-P1400 (update)

[moorejd]

As posted before, I've had an issue with playing Ratatouille on my BD-P1400 (I've downloaded the latest firmware), as the movie tends to stutter/pause in the exact same scenes, about 6 times in all. I took the disc back to Best Buy, where I bought it, and played it on their display BD-1400. Again, the image stuttered in same spots, so the sales rep allowed me to exchange the disc for a new one. Back home, this new disc stutters in the same spots. The new disc has the same stock number as the old one, though, so maybe that batch of discs is defective? I called Disney Home Video, and the technician said this is definitely not a widespread problem. Anyone have any similar experiences? Would it matter if I re-installed the player's firmware via CD? I'd rather wait at least a year before buying a new player...I'd like the kinks in the current generation to get worked out. Thanks!
