I’ve recently started renting season 1 of Bones on DVD, both in the mail and from the local store. For some reason, with all of the disks I’ve rented so far the third episode is unwatchable, that is the machine simply shows a loading screen and refuses to play it. This ONLY happens with the third episode. Any suggestions?

To try troubleshooting, does it work in your computer? How old is your DVD player? Does BB put those ridiculous labels on the disc to avoid theft? Do other BB movies work for you?

Yep, others work for me, it’s just been Bones so far.
