Hey, there. Yes, I've encountered this before. It was with a DVD I bought in 2000. After a year, one section of the video stopped working. Basically, whenever I played up to that point, the video would freeze for a minute or two and then skip to the next chapter! It's horrendous!
In terms of frequency of occurance, here's some info:

In my own DVD's, I'll be honest and say I'm not 100% sure as to whether or not disk rot is common. It's only happened to me once, but then again, I haven't checked my other DVDs.
I hope my post helped somewhat.
