Is there a noticeable transition when HD-DVD moves between layers on the disc...ie. is it similar to DVD when it moves between layers during a film?

I hate it when it does this...it is really noticeable in LOTR.

I never understood why this happens... Shouldn't buffering solve this easily for them?

I suppose it's to do with how the drive reads the data.  I obviously need to read the data a period of time before it is shown on screen.  Also, it maybe takes a second or so for the laser to be redirected to the other layer and the buffer isn't big enough to store the video and sound.  What size is the buffers on a normal DVD player anyway?
