Return DVD and inform store of such an issue
While they might be breaching an agreement with their suppliers, I really don't see how they'd be doing anything legally wrong.

Rosemary, I am also not sure that the shop has done anything "illegal". I am also unsure if your DVD has a technical fault. However, you should have a legal right to negotiate a "remedy" with the retailer (or, if that is unsuccessful, to have a complaint heard) as part of standard consumer protections: see <http:// www.docep.wa.gov.au>. Three typical conditions that trigger these rights & obligations are: "faults" in products that were not reasonably obvious at the time of purchase; "mis-representation" of products by shop staff or ads; "unsuitability" of products for the purpose for which they were sold and bought.
