Check the Firmware on the Panasonic as that could be the issue. I have the Samsung Bd-1500 blu-ray player (free with my new LCD). and I had a lot of glitches with the UTV DVDs. After going on Google it had nothing to do with UTV. It was an issue with the Firmware Samsung recently released which is having issues with all of the standard DVDs freezing up on & off. (on a side note the Samsung tech's are aware of the issue).
thanks ksingh! so sanjay, you know it's not rot in your case

The Panasonic BD55 has not had a single issue with playing any BDs or DVDs so far. In fact it played the Disc 2 (Special Features) of Jaane Tu.. Ya Jaane Na.. perfectly fine. Also, this is not a case of freezing up, but rather the disc simply cannot be read. In any case to put this debate to rest, I have now tried playing Disc 1 on 'THREE' different players other than the Panasonic BD55, with the same result. The disc cannot be read in any of them, with the PS3 being the only player to succesfully play it. I am sure it is not a case of rot, for it is brand new, therefore there has not been enough time for any rot to set in, but rather it is a typical case of T-Series using cheap and crappy media. As it is 'silver' media is not a good idea for dual layered discs, which is what Indian DVD manufacturers all seem to use, T-Series seems to, like 'Video Sound' used to, use the cheapest and crappiest media they can lay their hands on.
