Don’t get me wrong I have a pretty sweet DVD player with the 5.1 channel surround sound and I use the hell out of it, I just wish that the stupid format wasn’t so delicate. I take care of my stuff. I’m no materialist but I do enjoy my DVD collection the art is what brings me pleasure not the object. Nonetheless, I’ve found that most other people don’t take very good care of DVD’s and or that they can be easily damaged. Case in point: about 60-70% of the time I rent a DVD (which is rather rare for me since not much new stuff has come out that’s been worth renting or seeing at the cinema) I cannot finish it because the dirt and scratches on the surface of the disc are too severe. It sucks. Once more I’ve found occasions where a DVD I purchased was skipping without these scratches. It occurred on a copy of Goonies and also on a anime called Gungrave. The skip for Gungrave occurred about 5 minutes into the 4th episode on the first volume. This infuriated me I was more interested in viewing that 4th episode than in squabbling with Amazon about a defunct product, so I bought another one cheaper (it was used). CUT TO me fixing to watch this 4th episode all ready to go and low and behold the damn thing starts to skip at the exact same place. Now this is a freakin’ conspiracy! So I’m apt to uncover this and get my money back and a working copy of the 1st volume since episode 4 seemed to be where the show was really gonna pick up. Anyway that’s my world hates me complaint for now.
that was a good post.
Do you think the problem might be with your dvd player itself, not being able to read the dvd? stopping at the exact same place is sorta odd.
Waiiit… you didn’t just sell it to yourself over amazon, did you?
