On the subject of disk compatibility, my sister has a set of Buffy DVDs that play perfectly on her Panasonic RP-56. On my PS2, the first two disks play fine but the third one begins to skip badly near the middle (layer change?) and then cuts out altogether. Atempts to skip to a chapter past the cut-out point give a "can't read disk" message. The disk has a similar behavior on my mom's iMac.

Go figure.
