DVDs and computers

5 years ago
Hi All,
I have a problem; maybe someone can help, or at least shed some light.

I brought a FEW VCR tapes with me, and a machine. I plugged it in and the machine went "zzzzt!", some smoke came out, and I put it where it belonged (trash).

I brought a lot more DVDs, and they mostly work just fine, whether on the computer or on the DVD player we brought with us.

However, one day I wanted to watch the movie "300" (Thermopylae), and it went for about 56 minutes and stopped dead. I had my son buy another and my daughter brought it over last month. Watching it tonight (finally!), it stopped at the EXACT SAME SPOT. It is not possible that two copies stop at the EXACT SAME SPOT. There must be something either: A) in the computer, or B) in the actual disks.

I cannot believe that two DVD disks could stop at the EXACT same spot, so I must be missing something.

Any suggestions on how I can finish this movie? Thanks in advance.
Cheers, John.
