Strange considering they were authored by two different people. Methinks maybe it's your player. which are you using? do you only have one?


I'm using a Pioneer dv-535 (it's a European model). I have never had any problems with it before or after. The first Se7en disc works so-so. It gets to the menu, but then locks up. I can still click enter though, and when I do it seems to play the film with the commentary fine (I haven't watched the whole thing yet). The second disc locks up once the intro gets to the "A digitalfreaknyc production" bit. If I stick it in my computer, it plays the intro fine, but the menus are messed up and you can't tell what you're clicking. It's the same both when I try to run it from a burned dvd and when I try to run the files I downloaded directly off the hard drive.
Are everyone elses copies running fine?


apparently.

i've had no other complaints.

i had no problems on my pc or my newer player/burner which is attached to my tv. my main dvd player (which is older than both the pc and the recorder) has some problems playing the music tracks on the second disc but everything else works just fine. how old is your player?

Just an FYI,
I will probably be getting the 2DVD version of the first Superman movie up this week so please be on the lookout for that.


AWESOME! I was just going to ask if anyone has this. Is this the version where they spliced every extra frame from various resources together to make a 3hr version? I use to have this on tape but loaned it to a friend and never saw it again. But it was fairly generated and not the greatest quality. Cool thing was they used the widescreen laserdisc and spliced all the television footage together to come up with this version so you could tell which scenes were extra because they were Pan/Scanned.


That's it. I didn't think the quality was horrible. I mean...it was mastered from an old VHS so you can't expect greatness but it's DEFINITELY watchable.

Definitely. I'm going to re-do the E.T. one that I did so that it's a double disc release. The documentary would work better on a 2 disc release so that I can put all of the photos and whatknot on there as well.
