Rats

For some years now I've made it a habit to celebrate the Fourth by watching 1776. Today, though, about an hour and a half in, the DVD started stuttering - pausing for a few seconds, resuming for a minute or two, and then repeating the process. I finally gave up. (It hadn't even gotten to either of my favorite numbers - "Momma, Look Sharp" and "Molasses to Rum".)

There are no visible blemishes on the DVD; I'll have to try some others to determine whether there's something wrong with the player.

Rats.

Oh. Wow. I don't want to wish bad things on your player, but I hope it isn't a change in the DVD. Can you skip to the next chapter? Can it get dusty in there? If so, can one do anything about it. (I've had multi DVD players starting in '98, all except one in various computers, and I've not dusted any of them yet - I'm just grasping at straws.)
