Movies that don't play?
 

Vodstock seemed to have this problem with one of his movies so i was wondering how common it was....

My dvd version of The Thing wont play at all in my dvd player, or my ps2, its not scratched and nothing is on the disc, and it USED to play but now doesnt....

Anyone else have this problem with some of their movies?

It's called DVD rot. Not much you can do about it except bitch at the manufacturer, and they're just going to ignore you.

I have older dvd's that work fine tho....:confused:

It all depends on the quality of the materials used to make the DVD. If they used cheap materials, there's a good chance that it will break down faster.

Very...very gay...

yes very gay... I've had 2 boxset DVD's crack up and fall to bits.

ughhh...

The funny thing is, I still have VHS tapes from the late 80's that work great.

DVD is SO much better... :rolleyes:

Hey don't let Bloodrayne see this...im still trying to get her into digital....

Im having a hard enough time with getting her to watch a movie WIDESCREEN.....since all movies are really filmed in 4:3 TV ratio...:rolleyes:

God shes such a n00b...

Ha...

DVD is definitely better, don't get me wrong. But this part of it sucks.

Widescreen is good... as long as you have a TV that is widescreen. If you have just a standard TV, widescreen is crap.

Edit: Had to look it up to be sure. 16:9 (aka 4:3) is standard format. Widescreen is 2.35:1.
