The most problematic Panorama disc I bought was Imamura's "Eijanaika" which 
did not get along well with one of our DVD players (which had issues of its 
own) and has a somewhat iffy transfer.  Nonetheless, I was glad the film at 
all -- and at a relatively low price.

(some Panorama discs seem to require one to turn subtitles on and off via menu 
selections -- and ignore remote-controlled instructions on the topic).

I have heard that some other discs had worse problems.
