Everyone Stares DVD - Question

[Popcorn Blizzard]

Thursday was my birthday and one of my gifts was the [i]Everone Stares [/i]DVD. I'm not sure, but I think my copy might be defective. During the program when there's a lot of movement, the image gets slightly distorted with these horizontal lines. There are also a few times when text runs across the screen, and I can barely read what it says. The DVD extras don't have this problem (those are crystal clear); it's just the main program. Anyone else notice this on their DVD?

Aside from this issue, I really like Stewart's film: seeing the Police checking into these sad low-budget motels of the 70s, watching Sting surprise a female fan with a full kiss on the mouth, laughing as Sting beats the crap out of Andy on a train. I was made to feel a member of their inner circle, experiencing the Police phenomenon as they did.

Hmmm. No problems like that with my copy.

Maybe try cleaning the disc. Sometimes just fingerprints cause strange problems.

I get that happening when i play it on the dvd player in the living room- its a n ALBA cheapo but plays all sorts of weird formats- but on my old dvd player in the bedroom its fine- its a samsung.
Try another player?

I think it's your player. Some of the footage is old and not so sharp, but nothing like you are describing.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Yeah, I tried the DVD out in my PC and the program plays fine there, so the issue must be with our living room unit.
