| steve Member 7 Posts 4/00 |  Posted - Jul 2 2000 : 3:13AMHas anyone had any problems with the new "CHASING STACY" (Virtual Sex DVD starring Stacy Valentine)? My Powerbook absolute refuses to mount it (it might have been encoded improperly) and my APEX DVD player can't stand it. (None of the menu options/branching works... If I want to see all of the DVD "Fantasex", I'd have to go in and look at each chapter manually by number... Has anyone else had problems with the disc? It's unfortunate, because it looked like it could have been one of the better "Virtual Sex" DVDs... [Link] |

| Wit VCA Pictures Chatsworth, CA USA 74 Posts 7/00 |  Posted - Jul 5 2000 : 2:39PMAs was mentioned, DVD-ROM drives are the most unstable playback devices. This is particularly the case with computers using software decoders, instead of hardware to decode the MPEG 2 video. You could encounter issues with any dual layered DVD-9 disc, or interactive titles with as many comand sequences as CHASING STACY. Fortunately, the fix is usually simple. Visit your DVD-ROM drive manufacturer on the web and install the latest drivers for your player. If you are using a notebook, keep in mind that the software encoder takes up a fair amount of your RAM, so you want to minimize anything else from running in the background. The future of DVD is potentially rich with possibility. However, the issue you encountered is one of the biggest sticking pionts right now - player technology is lagging behind the development tools. This is perhaps one of the downsides to the standards that help make DVD so universally accepted. I hope this helps. If not, please let me know. Enjoy, Wit [Link] |

| snowman872 RainCoatReviews.com 400 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Jul 5 2000 : 11:44PM Steve -- Were you able to fix the problem by downloading new drivers? Would you mind telling me more about your configuration? What model DVD drive were you using - and what drivers did (or didn't) do the trick? Also, what model APEX do you own? I am trying to compile more information for my web page dealing with adult dvd trouble. Thanks - Snowman [Link] |
| steve Member 7 Posts 4/00 |  Posted - Jul 6 2000 : 12:10AMAs for my APEX 600A DVD player - there won't be any updating of that particular player. (The APEX will play the disc, through parts of it, but craps out during the "branching" options during Fantasex...)Anyway, I appreciate your posting and advice... If you'd like to hear more about specific issues/problems I'm having with the disc, let me know... I'm sure it must be frustrating trying to tangle with different standards with regards to DVD encoding/software/etc... Thanks, -Steve (hacked@tokyo.com) [Link] |

It sounds like APEX is the first company to take this approach. [Link] |

" A major drawback is the player's inability to handle any DVD using Seamless Branching technology." What a drag. It's got so many features and the price is right :/ [Link] |
