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](http://www.animeondvd.com) and look around the time of the original release date–they’ll have info on the exchange program.
