This occurs when the DVD is switching layers.  It is annoying, yes.  
And it is more pronounced on some DVD players than on others.  I 
think the only way to avoid it is to get a top of the line DVD 
player, and even then you aren't guaranteed that it can switch layers 
without freezing for a second.
