Thanks Mr. Mesh for the handy URLs.
You could have bought the French DVD as it is nearly the same master, but a pressed disc for 10 Euros. http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReviews20/party_girl_dvd_review.htmOriginally Posted by Simon Howson /forum/thread/283916/warner-archive-discussion-thread-feedback/3090#post_3657018
Great, it happened. Today I received a badly scuffed disc from Warner Archive of Nicholas Ray's film Party Girl. It won't play in my Blu-ray player after the first 10 minutes, however, I was able to rip it even though it took over an hour.
Now let's see, what are my chances of getting a replacement sent to Australia?
That would work out to nearly double what I paid for the Warner Archive version. I was able to rip the disc, but it is all about principle, Warner said they would "stand by" these discs, so they should send a replacement.Originally Posted by Marcel H. /forum/thread/283916/warner-archive-discussion-thread-feedback/3090#post_3657080

It's possible that your DVD drive has just worn out and won't burnt read discs. I'd look at replacing it. You just need to work out if it uses SATA or IDE, and buy the same replacement drive.Originally Posted by Simon Howson /forum/thread/283916/warner-archive-discussion-thread-feedback/3120#post_3657720
Ah, I've already waited 2 days, but no reply so far.
Give VLC Media Player a go. It's completely free:

To play a DVD, just go File, Open Disc, then select the disc device that corresponds to your DVD drive.
To make a screen capture, go to the Video menue, and select Snapshot.
