My pot movie

[scottiedoo]

just got mine & am having trouble playing it on my dvd player... I can only get it to play on my mac... which is where I already saw it on youtube.. even on the mac... it wouldn't play the whole way through... kept getting disc errors.. it may have something to do with the paper label on it throwing the disc off balance...?? I know this happened with other burned dvds I've had.. but I don't know... I'm a little bummed tho... as soon as I test it on a few other players I'll feel a little better about sending browndirt a complaint message via myspace.. as we are friends there.. (don't I feel cool) but I'm pretty sure I got a bunk disc...

i thought it was my player. mine skipped thru all of the last chapter. i had to FF then rewind and it helped a little. this is why i thought it was my player.

well.. I just ran a dvd lens cleaner disc through my player & WAS able to get the dvd to play now... but my disc DID skip as well toward the end... watchin' it again now on the freshly-cleaned player.. I'll let ya know if it goes all the way... I do smoke a lot of weed in my room tho.. I think my lens was just smokey... now I feel like a dumbass..

btw.. FDD the guy who just friended you on myspace was me.. can't get enough of those army man vids!!

i thought it had no sound for half an hour until i figured out my cables were backwards. my son had been back there unplugging things.

I just got through the whole thing with NO PROBLEMS whatsoever... I think it should be common knowledge that pot smokers should clean their DVD players like once a month.. so they don't make stupid posts saying a perfectly good dvd doesn't work when, in fact, it does... sorry BrownDirt.. the movie is bad ass! & it's real cool to see it on a real TV.. there's so many little nuances that I missed watching it on youtube. well worth the 20 bucks..

The only thing I can think of is that it has been converted to DVD at a very high bit rate (8,500 CBR), and maybe older decks might have a problem with it or have to calibrate some how. i've also heard before that people sometimes have problems with plus or minus DVDs -- depending on their deck. Play it again and see what happens. I'm happy to send out any that are not working right.

that was the weird part. it seemed to work after it played thru it funky first. we got to the end and enjoyed. i just wanted to give you a heads up more than anything.

It's all good mate but it might not be a cleaning issue. But then again maybe the media it is recorded on is ultra sensitive to dust particles etc. I must confess they ARE bulk disks -- to keep my cost down. Don't know if that makes a difference or not. But the idea that it wouldn't play and then did, is quite curious to me. I've got these heavy duty disks now that are twice as expensive to ship because of weight issues ... so I don't know if that will make a difference or not. I hope FDD plays his again to see if it works. Gracious of him not to complain before now.

Certain discs have problems with dvd players that,are old,dusty,or low quality when it comes to reading the disc,I know ive burned many home dvd's and movies and they all worked perfectly fine on my player but on certain players it would have problems.Usally better qaulity discs and recorders help substantiolly. Also a tip is to record the media on to disc at the slowest rate possible like say 4x is a good common speed as it will burn much more cleaner and yes takes longer but you get a better qaulity recording,oh yeah and also the encoding of the material plays a big role whether its PAL or NTSC try to keep it all one code and not mix codes,that will leave you with less qaulity recordings.Ive wasted many discs trying to get the best qaulity recording,but found that slow speeds and good coding make the difference,well atleast on standard dvd burners,im not sure if your using duplication methods or burning a fresh copy each time but either way slower speeds will help,try 4x and see if makes a difference

Mine was from target and cost 26.99,just as long as its got progressive scan it should read no problem.But the nicer ones that have DTS and the other features seem to play much better but cost twice the money
