There's a phenomenon I experience from time to time when I play a DVD that is driving me insane. There are certain TV series DVDs that just won't play properly on my 3 year old Sony player. It skips and stutters like it was dirty, but there's nothing wrong with the DVD. All issues go away when I play the disc on my PVR's DVD player. Lately I noticed some video artifacts while playing '6 Feet Under' on my Sony player. Certain scenes experience a kind of slo-motion effect that I'm sure isn't on purpose. I was puzzled as to why this would be happening, then it dawned on me - maybe these discs have DRM. So I put the question out to my readers and people searching the internets for assistance regarding DRM affecting playback - am I the only person having these problems?
