I put in a new copy of a disc I bought from inetvideo last night. It initially spun up and then the spinning disc icon stopped spinning and after 30 seconds it came up with a message that said the disc wasn't formatted as a DVD.

I ejected the disc and re-inserted, thinking it might have not been inserted correctly. The second time, the spinning disc icon stopped spinning and the player hung. It eventually displayed some error message. The problem was getting the disc back out. The only way I could find was to unplug the unit, and then go through the time and date screen before I could eject. This took about 5 minutes. Has anybody discovered a better way?

Of course, I now need to figure out what to do about returning a $5 disc to a Canadian site. I am considering not bothering and just re-ordering the title, but it is a hassle.
