I had a new/perplexing issue arise a few nights ago. The film "The War" on HD-DVD (a Universal disc) causes my player, an Onkyo HD805 (Toshiba XA2 clone) to completely shut down / power off after ~5 minutes of viewing the film. There's no glitching, it just completely and immediately shuts the player off back to the standby state. I can immediately (by HD-DVD standards) turn the player back on and the disc loads as it normally would. It only occurs when playing the film, and it doesn't seem specific to any part of the film... if I power the player back on and try to pick up where I left off, it will play for another 5 minutes or so and shut down again. The shutdown points don't seem to align with chapter markers or anything like that, just an arbitrary amount of time anywhere from 4-7 minutes, usually right around 5 minutes. All of my other discs (10 or so, no WB discs) play back fine. There are no visible scratches, hazing, or below-the-surface irregularities with the disc itself. I have another player, an HD-A3, that I could hook up and see if it has a similar issue with this disc but I have not done so yet.
Has anyone seen anything like this? With this disc or others?

It also doesn't seem to be related to the location on the disc (so not a circumferential or tangential scratch)... if I pick any random spot in the film, it will play for 4-5 minutes and then power-off. The weirdest part is how it just completely and immediately shuts down, but will still immediately power back on as it normally would. Even when actually powering off when done with the player, it doesn't shut off immediately (it goes through the "GOODBYE" process as any Toshiba HD-DVD would).
