I have one DVD where this happens to me too, but I don't know why. I 
suspect buggy firmware of the drive, but that's just a guess. Which 
drive model do you have? I have a Pioneer 116. I had to slow it down by 
putting it in a Windows box and running Pioneer's Windows utility on it 
(they don't have a Linux version :-(, because at the high speed it used 
to rev up and then down again, causing a pause in playback each time 
that happened. Slowing the drive down fixed it, but - as I said - one 
DVD still triggers the old behaviour.

Anyway, it's not a vlc problem because I verified that it also happens 
with other player software.
