The next time you see it, could you maybe jot down some DVD timings? So I can look for it, say in WWW and Gladiator, both of which I have. I have a Sony 51" RPTV. I have a cheap Apex DVDP, and a slightly less cheaper RP56 that I know has a pretty good chipset which is fairly glitch-free, so I could try both and that might point to a DVDP or TV issue. i.e. if I see the blotches with both DVDP's then I would say it's the TV, if I don't see them with the RP56 then I'd say it was the DVDP. Thanks.

The "blotches" I saw were like small bright green "inkblots" that lasted a few seconds, but did not move. They did not appear at a lighting or texture transition interface. I returned the disc as "defective" (the sound sucked too) so can't check it again.
