Newly Released Stargate SG-1 Season 5 DVD *NOT* Defective
When first played on the night of Wednesday, January 27th, our copy of the newly released Stargate SG-1, Season 5, Volume 3 DVD was not even reaching its main menu. It automatically played some severely garbled video from the beginning of its first episode then it froze. I ejected the DVD for inspection, but I could see nothing wrong with it, so I attempted to play it again only to encounter the same results. However, when I attempted to play it the next day to seek more information about the failure, the DVD made it to its main menu without issue. Despite further testing, I was not able to reproduce any of the undesirable behavior, so I now suspect that the DVD itself was not at fault; something may have come between the DVD and the laser inside of the DVD player.
