Good catch, John -- I just pulled our copy of At the Death House Door
from the shelf, and noticed the same problem. It happens at 22:35, just
before the start of Chapter 7. If their entire batch was replicated
with this same problem, I'm guessing Kartemquin has a small nightmare on
their hands. I plan on emailing the contact listed here for
Distribution and Sales to see what I can learn about getting a working copy:

Christine, re: your Northern Exposure problem -- I can't offer any
feedback on that particular title, but we did have the same problem with
disc 1 of Justified -- returned after one circ; the disc stopped just a
few minutes into the first chapter of the first episode. Buffed it up;
no go. Blehhhhhhh.
Best,

*Somewhat related problem. I have purchased four seasons of "Northern
Exposure" as a gift for boyfriend. We are in Season Three and
discovered that two episodes on a brand new disc are damaged,
apparently, and just freeze. You can hear the blu-ray machine grinding
away. The rest of the disc is fine. We tried buffing but to no avail.
I am wondering if a single disc in a set is able to be returned for
replacement. Has anyone else had this experience?*

Hello All
Our copy of At the Death House Door (ISBN 1-56580-849-5) stops about
20 minutes into the program and goes back to the menu. If you start
the movie from the scene select window it works fine. We sent it back
to Amazon and they sent us a new copy which did the EXACT same thing.
I am wondering if this happened to any one else? If it did, and you
kept the DVD, how did you label the container to make sure people knew
how to access the material? Thanks in advance and hope everyone has a
fantastic weekend.
regards
jhs
