I’m wondering if anyone here has this DVD, and if so, are you encountering the same problems I am? About 30 seconds into scene 12 (Adom Village) the video freezes and / or artifacts, and the audio starts to skip. I’ve tried this so far on 4 separate players, and all have encountered problems at this point. I hope this problem is with my disc only, and I can simply exchange to get a working disc. If anyone out there has the same issues as I do, let me know if you found a way around this problem.
A quick websearch reveals reveals that there is apparently a problem with the Escaflowne Movie Ultimate Edition DVD at chapter 12:

Exchange it.
Yeah, that’s a well-known pressing problem from when it was released. Bandai will exchange it. Go to www.animeondvd.com and look around the time of the original release date–they’ll have info on the exchange program.
