Is my dvd damaged?


Right before Carly's car turns into soundwave, Same closes the door, then the screen freezes for a few seconds and goes right to soundwave transforming and grabbing the two. Or was that just bad editing?

Neither, it's a dual-layer disc and that's just what happens when your player switches over unless it's fairly new. Or something like that, I'm no tech. Geek, lol.

Mine does it too, yet that didnt happen in the theater, therefore idk what the deal is.
I'm gonna get a new DVD player soon

These films (though I don't particularly care for DotM, but it still applies) are best experienced at home on Blu-ray. Even on a non-HD display, there is a discernible difference in quality, and in HD, you are getting what you bought that TV for. No up-conversion, just perfection in 1080p, with lossless sound to boot.

IIRC that's roughly halfway through the film so yeah, its the DVD layer change. Yet another reason why DVDs suck and Blu Ray is superior.

Well if you reach the data limit on one side it has to switch over. DVD has been around a long time and the fact it's still a workable medium is a testament to how much it DOESN'T suck. DVD has well and truly lived up to it's name as a Digital Versatile Disc and has nothing to be ashamed about. It depends how old you are as to how you view obsolesce. You're in the ignorant camp if you're not realising Bluray will reach it's data limit constraints in time. It's called progress. DVD wouldn't have been invented if CD hadn't been invented, and hence Bluray for the same reason. You can't say one technology sucks because you're comparing it to a newer technology. What's available at the time is always considered state of the art.
