Hi, I hope someone would be so kind as to answer a question?
I have just purchased the Pyramid Trilogy. On each disc the movie is continued on the reverse, so I have to flip the disc to continue each part. Is this annoying setup normal? Why can't the movie be on one side and the extra features on the other. Thank you.
Best wishes.
Jules

This isn't normal any more, but it was more common when the Pyramid series was released.

When DVD was still a new format, there were very few replicators that were capable of pressing dual layer discs. Because of the demand, these replicators did 99.9% of their work for mainstream studios (no adult). For movies over 2 hours long, or movies that contained a lot of extras, "flippers" were the only option.

Now, most replicators are able to press dual layer discs, so flippers are much more uncommon.

Thank you Bill. As I've only just received it should I return it to Adult Dvd Now. I have the Tatiana trilogy which is Perfect so I am somewhat disappointed with this amateurish dvd setup.
Thanks again for the help, Bill.

Yes , it's not normal !

Private is the richest porno company in the world , and they could have done a better DVD uses quality !

Shame on Private !!!!

But the 3 movies are great , and the most important is that you can watch the movies ! The second one is my favorite !

Have Fun !

If you want the films, I wouldn't recommend returning them as I doubt that Private will end up remastering the discs to be DVD-9's. The discs in the Trilogy are the same discs as the original releases. As Bill said, that practice isn't common place now, but at the time those discs came out it was. If my memory serves correctly, the Pyramid films were the first films released on DVD by Private, so you can expect that the discs aren't up to the level of what they are currently producing, if for no other reason, technology has improved vastly since then.
