Blu Ray discs skipping

    Hi,
    Do BluRays have more of a tendency to skip then DVDs/CDs ?
    I think they do for the fact that they have a lot more data on them.
    I have a Panasonic DMP BD80 since 2009 and its excellent.

    Most BDs play perfectly but occasionaly I get one that will skip at
    a particular scene (so its a disc issue) - yet the disc looks perfectly clean,
    no scratch or smudge - at least that I can see.

    Doesn't bother me too much for films, cos I'll watch the film soon after purchase
    so if any problem i can replace it.
    But for series, that's another issue, I'm re watching Breaking Bad on BD, but bought it
    over a year ago - and discovered one scene (3 min) on one episode wont play - but the disc looks fine.

    Puts me off buying other series on BD.

    Do newer players deal with it better ? or would a firmware upgrade perhaps help ?

    Not a major issue since im gravitating toward streaming services more and more now.

    Still the odd series/film I love the BD physical copy.

    Cheers
