I just bought the Private Penthouse DVD called fashion and noticed that every few seconds a ugly camere icon comes up on screen to let me know there is some other stupid angle available. I tried and there seem to be no way to disable this ugly distracting icon. Which other Private videos hase this icon? I am interested in getting the Dangerous Things movies also. Did they have the icon on screen also? Why would a great company like Private do a dumb thing like that? I seems like something a foolish American company would do. I don't want to be fiddling with me remote while watching porn!

No, it's impossible to remove the stupid icons!

Unfortunately, CALL GIRL and DANGEROUS THINGS also carry those damn ugly icons.

Vivid Video has finally given us an option to eliminate the graphic, but VCA and Metro continue to employ them.

I've already bitched and moaned about them in many a review, so I will leave the topic alone.

I am glad Vivid gave us that option. I hate those silly things too.

Hello,

I am the Digital Media Manager (i.e. responsible for the DVD production) at Private and I just wanted to jump in to put some light on the "camera icon" issue.

The camera icon was originally designed to let the people know that there was some alternative angles at some points in the movie. I must admit that the first design was both ugly and too big.

After seeing the complains about this (mainly from Diesel) we redesigned and resized the icon and also made it possible to hide.

The thing is that in all the Private/Penthouse titles except the 2 first ones (Call Girl and Fashion), that is from Dangerous Things and on, the icon can be hidden just by choosing subtitle: "off" from the remote (not in the subtitle menu of the disc). In that way you can hide the icon to watch the movie with no hassles.

We are always trying to improve our DVDs, so your suggestions are always welcomed.

Thanks for your interest in Private.

Any suggestions, mail me at: privatedvd@milcap.es

Roger

Private Video makes perhaps the best porn movies on the market, and it's good to know that the studio is listening to and responding to customer complaints!

I did not realize that the icons could be turned off in DANGEROUS THINGS when I gave it a rave review on Adult DVD Empire. Thanks for alerting me to something I should have discovered while watching it.

Welcome to Adult DVD Talk PrivateDVD!

Thanks for your input here, Roger. I agree with Diesel... it's great to see that studios actually listen to their customers.

...And yep, sure enough, all it takes is a few clicks of the button to disable the camera icons in DANGEROUS THINGS 2! Great, great job, Private! I hope VCA, Metro and other 2nd angle studios follow your lead with this feature!
