    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    There's been nothing to suggest that Disney is in the least interested in releasing any new TV shows on disc, or even re-releasing previously released shows on disc. I can't remember the last time they released any TV shows on disc other than The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh Blu-ray from the DMC...

    Shit. I'd better check my copy. This is a show I don't want to "lose".

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    I was looking at the two Tarzan collections last night. With the exception of one film, both collections played fine. On the first disc of Volume 2, Tarzan's Desert Mystery was fine, while Tarzan Triumphs hoses up. Fortunately, before the Warner collections were released, I got two 3-movie...

    It probably should be posted as a reminder every now and then. but...in many cases, it depends on the player. Early in this thread I mentioned some titles that had playback problems on an old Sony portable, but play fine on my LG UHD/BD/DVD player. If you have multiple players, give the...

    A few weeks back, I picked up a (used) copy of Forbidden Hollywood v.3 (released in early 2009). Didn't encounter any playability issues.

    Yes, they are. Criterion has always offered replacements for defective disks. Well, I don't think they're still replacing any defective laserdiscs... :) In fact, I'd been dragging my feet about replacing two BDs -- one was an audio issue on the Kieślowski film White, the other with Kagemusha...

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    There's a free application called VSO Inspector that I've used in the past to catch problems with Criterion blu-rays that had the "bronzing" problem. I make an attempt to do a simple check for errors of every disc I buy, as I might not get to watching it for a while, and I want to catch...

    Since it had been mentioned before (it might've been at The Other Website), I went through my Forbidden Hollywood Volume 1, and everything played fine. Also, I've been on a Shirley Temple kick recently (trying to make sure I had all of her Fox films -- at least the ones released on DVD) and...

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    It's been a bit since Robert posted this. But...I recently made the time to go through my copy of this set (Errol Flynn Signature Collection, Volume 2). I dug out an old portable Sony DVD player that I set up on my office desk. The remote wasn't working, so I had limited options in playing...

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    Well, to be fair, it's not that simple. If you have a DVD that bought new in 2006, then at this point it's 14 years old. And if you're only noticing right now by scanning all of your DVDs that it's rotten, you have no idea when it went bad...unless you happen to remember when the last time you...

    It appears you don't quite understand what MOD means. It simply means "Manufactured on Demand". The contents, whether they be movie-only, or movie-with-a-trailer, or movie-with-a-boatload-of-extras, are manufactured -- pressed or burned -- on a more limited basis. The impression of a lot of...

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    It depends on the title. If it's a "new" MOD title -- i.e., one that had never been released on a regular DVD -- it probably won't have any extras. Movie only. If it's one that had been previously released on DVD, then the burned MOD release will likely be identical in content, because they...
