While it stinks to need to have the disc replaced I'm glad to see Warner out front on this. I'll be giving them a call later today.
Blu-ray & HD DVD - It's all about the movies!

Re: Replacement Notice regarding Popeye The Sailor 1938-1940 Volume 2, Disc 1
^^ There also appears to be an issue with THE JEEP.
Some sort of Video Artifact at the beginning of the short that causes a strange waviness to the picture. It almost looks like oil on the surface of the celluloid, or on the lens of the transfer device.
Some people (not myself) have also been reporting issues of certain shorts freezing up in spots. Again, this is not something that I've encountered... yet, so I'm not chalking it up as a major issue.

Yes, But it seems like the Jeep's waviness in the opening is a malady that can't be helped, since it appears to be part of the negative or whatever source was used. The body of the cartoon is in good shape, so I guess that's all I can ask for.

I'm not so sure about that... it appears to be a video artifact, hard to imagine film behaving like that. Can't say for sure though.

I called for the replacement disc and they already had my information in their system from a previous replacement disc call. So call was very quick since they had my address and all.

Any idea when (or if) the fixed versions will be on store shelves?
