GAH!

Does anyone else here have the region 2 Buffy season 7 DVD box? If so, is your copy of episode 20 ("Touched") complete? Because mine is missing about a minute. And it's that minute. The one with all the bedroom-type scenes. It starts to fade from Spike and Buffy into Faith and the principal, then there's a bit of MPEG artifact blur and whoops we're back at Buffy and Spike and the scene is over. Also, the MPEG stream timecode jumps forward about a minute, so it really looks like there's a bit missing. What I want to know if this is a very unfortunately placed flaw in just my disc (so I can complain and get it replaced), or if it's censorship and all discs are the same? I'll be quite disappointed if it's the latter.

ETA: ex-Blackstar (now sendit.com) says that they haven't had a flood of complaints, so it's probably just my disc that's faulty and they'll replace it.

There's a long and involved thread on uk.media.tv.buffy-v-slayer about this very problem. If you search Google Groups for the words "DVD""Authoring" "Error" and "Touched" you should find it.

How extremely annoying. I've mailed ex-Blackstar and complained, anyway.
