Bill, I picked up another set yesterday, at Walmart, and it seems to look noticeably better. I'm thinking maybe there's two versions floating around. The original version I had definitely had dulicate episodes, as you have found out with your copy. There must be a 'good' and a 'bad' set that was...

I"ve definitely got some sort of bootleg. I bought another one at Walmart and the picture looks WAY better. I gave the other one back to my sister in hopes she can get her money back. I think she got it in downtown Toronto. Marc.

Yup, I'm beginning to think I got some sort of improperly mastered bootleg or something. Since I got it for my birthday, I have no idea where it came from. I'm going to have to check with my sister and see where she got it. The fact that she got it almost a week before street date also has...

Sam, the VIDEO_TS file is almost 8 gig. I'm at work right now so I can't give you the exact numbers, but it's close to 8 gig. Since there is hardly anything else on the disc, and the 4 episodes total less than 4 gig, there's no other explanation other than the duplicate episodes. Strange stuff...

Kami, good idea. I will grab some when I get home. Marc.

Sam, I believe it does. If the single episodes and 'Play All" chunk were sharing the same file on the DVD, then the audio streams for each title would not be different, would they? By cloning all titles to the hard drive, except title 1, you are left with a complete DVD, coming in at...

I managed to take a screenshot and display it in my last posting above. Marc.

Ok, my copy definitely has each episode encoded twice. I made a temporary 'backup' of Title 1 only , onto my harddrive, and all four episodes are there. The entire thing takes less than 4 gig of space. Then I did the same with Titles 3,4,5, and 6. Once again, all four episodes are present , in...

For a quick check of how bad the picture really is, on Disc 1 jump to Episode 3 (either of the two copies on the disc,you choose!) It starts with a football game in the rain. The rain looks like a pixelized mess of pulsating squares. It is equally as bad on my 47" ISF calibrated set or my 17" PC...

Looks like Warner Brothers botched up "Smallville: Season 1" big time. I was looking forward to this set so much that I asked several people to get it as a birthday gift for me this past Friday. Bad idea as I ended up with two copies. That's not the worst part, though: Upon my first viewing...
