  Why is it on just about every other dvd, the player goes into this little skip mode. Usually in the middle of the movie. What the heck is this?
  Are you referring to the layer change? which happens in the middle of just about every movie.
  Yes there is one layer change spot on every dual-layer DVD movie. There will usually be a short 1sec or so pause at that point, thats completely normal. Some high-end expensive model DVD players have a big buffer to eliminate the pause, but its only one second for a 2hour movie so I don't really mind it.
  No. It goes into this mosaic type mode like the disc was dirty. But it is starting to do it more often and even onnewer discs. Would it be something on the lense? Is there a good way to clean the lense without scratching it? It is getting a little frustrating. Thanks for your help.
