Just Rented Live free Die Hard...

Movie just kept displaying anomalies on tv, stuttering, or completely pausing. Are these moronic companies using a new method of extorting us lowly standard dvd viewers to purchase new equipment. It was conveyed to me that if I burned the movie and removed the protection it may resolve these issues. I asked"What?" "I have to burn a movie to watch it!"

Is there a solution to this? What gives?

I used both a JVC dvd player and Pioneer Player. The jvc had the most problems and the pioneer mostly stuttered.
