I don't know if it was the disk I was playing but I had some video
freeze, the audio kept going and then the video caught up. It was not a
persistent thing just random through the music video I watched. An
afterthought: I had watched another video clip on the same DVD and it
played fine, so maybe it was just the other cut. Some glitch in post
production, maybe?
