I have had movie players (MPlayer and Xine) pause when the drive had 
trouble reading the DVD, but the cause was obvious, since the drive's 
light stays on solid when it has trouble. I've never pauses like hotmail 
described, and when I have seen the short pauses at the end or beginning 
of a movie, the movies were on a hard drive.
