HELP NEEDED! WTF is wrong with this dvd

[ThePresence]

I borrowed Patriot Games from a friend, I stick it into my DVD drive in my computer, the opening stuff comes on but then it stops, it starts making a noise like its not running smooth, and the light starts blinking like mad. The program just shuts off. It's not a hardware or software problem, all my dvd's play just fine. There are no noticeable scratches or smudges, I musta cleaned it 1000 times. What I'm worried is that when I return it, he'll think I screwed up the disc.

The Way of the Gun Does that in my PC. It playes half way through and tanks. A stand alone player works fine.

could be your player....sometimes a player and certain dvds don't get along together nicely....

maybe a firmware update is available for your player?

or better yet, check your dvd manufacturer's support site...
