Freeze Up in Low Impact Circuit

Some folks at VF experienced a freeze up during one segment, the lying triceps extensions with the barbell. Anybody else experience this? I hope this is not a bad batch :(

One person says this about Low Impact Circuit -

My freeze-up on the triceps extensions was for a set of either 4 or 8 reps on an exercise. I kept trying to fast-forward to get to a clear (non-frozen) section - my DVD freezes on the first rep of the set and the first clear section is the final rep of the set. I don't miss the entire triceps exercise - she does a set at regular tempo (4 up, 4 down), then starts a few sets with tempo variations. The freeze makes me miss one whole set with a tempo variation.

And then about Butts and Guts -

had another freeze during the floorwork with ankle weights - this one was only a few seconds long (started at the end of an exercise as Cathe went into child's pose for a rest, ended as she was coming out of child's pose) - it was at 52:53 on my DVD counter. Will be curious to see if anyone else has it.

And a totally different person on Drill Max -
My dvd froze in Cardio 4 of Drill Max.
 
I experienced the freeze up in LIC as well. Didn't check Butts and Gutts but there's a glitch in cardio section 4 in Drill Max too, on mine anyway.
 
It is too bad. I feel badly for Cathe after all the problems with these :( . I will keep mine, no problem but I know there are some who will want replacements.
 
What people are more than likely seeing is just the layer change point. These are all dual layered DVDs and many users will experience a brief stutter ranging from nothing at all to several seconds. After receiving several reports on our forum of this problem we pulled several random samples and did not find any problems at all. Please remember anytime you have a DVD problem to please check the DVD on another player. This is the only way to determine if the problem is the disc or the player.
 
I had the same freeze point on Butts and Guts. I'm off to preview LIC. I may try to play them on a different machine, but I can't switch machinies around my house and I don't think I want to buy a new one either. Mine in the workout room is about 4 years old. I heard older machines get the freezing...
Butts and Guts was a great workout though. My rear is feeling it I hope I can walk tomorrow!!
I did drill max and it froze at the 4th cardio section too.
