Freezing Cube DVD player

[Snow White]

Well I have experienced all of these symptoms.  Try giving the player 
more RAM and fast forward past the damage on the DVD.  You may need to 
use scene select to select the next scene to get past the damage.  I 
have had discs that even this did not work.

I think that the DVDs do have a minor flaw that the computer will not 
gloss over but that DVD Players, being not as stringent, play straight 
through.  The computer demands top quality and the DVD industry is 
producing product for Player specs (with more tolerance).
