Has anyone else had a problem viewing these? I have several and almost all, if not all of them, have had problems playing them. When you push play, they pixalize and freeze. If you hit the skip button (to the next scene) and then rewind to the beginning they work fine.

I've never had this problem with other dvds...even other Disney dvds, but for some reason these Treasures have at least one segment like this. I'm watching Your Host, Walt Disney right now, and each segment (on both discs) has done this, though, in others it's usually just one or two segments, not the whole thing.

Just curious...it's never been enough to return them as I can get them to work and have a feeling that since it's so prevalent, the new ones would have the same problems as well.  And in case someone asks, I've bought most of these brand new--most from the Disney Movie Club, but a few from Amazon.

Well, maybe one or two of the discs have marks, but the majority are just fine.  I have at least 7 or 8 of these sets, so I doubt it's related to the condition of the discs.  It's the first thing I check when I open the package is how they look.

While I've watched one or two on another player, I haven't put them all in.  At this point, most of discs are in storage for the next few weeks so I am unable to check.

So, I take it you don't have this problem?  I can see it being my player, but why does it only affect these particular discs? Why not other Disney movies?  That's why I'm trying to see if anyone else has this problem... Thanks for any help.

could be your pickup lens .. try another player ..

Companies include anti-copy schemes on the discs to protect against people making copies or stopping bootleggers.  As the anti-anti-copy programs becomes more sophisticated, companies change the methods they use in attempt to block the copy programs.

The goal is to still allow older DVD players to still play the movie but that's doesn't always work out that way in reality.

Huh, well, you learn something new every day! I knew about the protection, but only ran into this kind of problem with the Treasures series so it wouldn't have even occurred to me that that was the reason for the pixalization.  That's why I posted here...was trying to figure out if it was just inherent to the discs or something. I've never made back-up discs so didn't know that Disney was very active with the protection.

Well, I'm glad to know that the discs (especially since they're so expensive compared to other sets) aren't damaged.
