Home Theater Forum - View Single Post - Studios: Engaged in Poor Quality Control Management

Mark Oates · 03-06-2008, 11:52 AM

Not wanting to sound like I'm letting the Studios off the hook, but the fault of poor QC on DVD releases is down to the replication plants who stamp out and package the discs for the Studios.

Worst offender on this side of the Puddle is Technicolor, who do a lot of their box sets at their Piaseczno Poland plant to keep costs down.

Mind you, I get virtually all of my DVDs mail order (I'd have to be stupid to pay top whack for discs from a High Street retailer), and I frequently get a rattler in the box. I think the Royal Mail pays a guy to squeeze every Jiffy bag coming through the post to pop the disc inside off its hub.
