Problems with Artisan DVDs

I just tried to play the Artisan Home Entertainment issue of Young at Heart (1954, Sinatra & Day). The DVD player could not play the DVD, and I could neither eject it nor turn the DVD player off. Had to unplug it and wait 30 sec to get the DVD player to restart and eject.

Another Artisan DVD with major problems is The Quiet Man, whose PQ is worse than on VHS tape, which I didn't think was possible. After surfing the AVSforum, here's a list of other Artisan DVDs that are reported to have poor PQ or other problems:

1. Capricorn One

2. Reservoir Dogs SE

3. Highlander

4. The Last Emperor

5. Dirty Dancing UE

My Artisan copy of Stargate UE is just so-so as far as PQ and audio. I'm planning to avoid anything with the Artisan label from now on. Does anyone have any other Artisan titles to be added to my Avoid List? Are there any Artisan titles whose quality you're happy with?
