Why so serious?

I just got a copy of Don't Waste It Taste It 4 today.
Haven't had a chance to watch it through but I put it in the player to see how it looked.
And there is quite an annoying amount of motion blurring when the action speeds up at all. I tried cleaning the disc and even tried another player just in case, but no change.
It's irritating and probably means I will only watch some of this (I got is for Cassandra's scene mainly).
Looks like a good movie, just a shame about the lousy quality.
Anyone else have this problem or did I get a bad disc?
I don't want to give up on Vouyer based on one bad experience...

No, this is a problem that's been around for a while. Vouyer Media's stuff in the past has always had decent picture quality, so I was pretty surprised. It might be either the camera itself or just the way they use it. But whatever the reason I can't stand it. I first noticed this in one of Anabolic's movies years ago. There are quite a number of studios or directors I don't even bother watching anymore specifically for this reason.

At least it's not just me.
I've seen this on a few discs from what I consider to be cheaper producers but it's the first disc this poor that I've got from VM.
Oh well, I'll steer clear of them from now on.
Cheers.

I ran into this problem too. It's sort of like when a VHS tape doesn't quite track properly.
I wouldn't write off VM this quickly.

Totally saw that same thing.
Voyeur Media has notoriously bad camera work. I don't know whether it's the camera itself, but they never seem to get the contrast right. There's always too much light - almost every scene seems washed out. This seemed to start when they started filming stuff in anamorphic widescreen, which makes me think they just haven't figured out how to use the camera. Given that this has been going on for a long time, I doubt they ever will. I'm getting to the point where I avoid any movies from them because the picture quality drives me up the wall. Honestly - don't they ever critically look at their product after it streets? Or maybe they just aren't very discriminating.
Now, DWITI4 seems to have even more issues, and I noticed it in the Andi Anderson and particularly the Cassandra Calogera scenes. It's almost like Donnie Cabo forgot to focus the image. I am NOT a fan of Donnie Cabo in particular. The guy can't seem to stop moving the camera around, turning it to angles that make my neck hurt, not telling the girls to look into the camera, etc. And the editor for Voyeur Media often cuts away right when you're about to see something hot.
Personally, I'll only rent a VM flick if it's got an amazing cast - like DWITI4 - but as far as purchases go, I strongly doubt I can justify it. All of the things I mentioned are just so annoying that they drive me to distraction.
Cassandra's scene, DESPITE all of these problems, was amazingly hot. Too bad.

I do agree they often use too much light. But that I can stand. The new motion blurring is a new issue I can't stand. It's too bad, I really liked that series. I wouldn't write off the whole studio just yet either. Video quality can vary depending on the director even if they work for the same studio. I usually give ample opportunity to a studio/director before boycotting.

I've seen this too on several occasions with VM product. I'm pretty sure I blasted them on at least one review for this issue.
I haven't given up on them, but if they don't fix the problem, then yeah, it's gets to the point where it's time to move on.
I suspect they aren't overly self-critical. It's funny, but there's a certain arrogance you can detect in a lot of porn people, even some of the ones that post here on ADT. Given Vince Vouyer's reputation, I suspect that arrogance thrives at his company.

Believe me, I hate to entirely write off any studio, but certain folks are oblivious to feedback, and seem to think they're God's gift to porn... they ain't! JM Productions, Vouyer Media, and a few others are just so mediocre compared to most of the product that comes out of studios like Zero Tolerance and Evil Angel that it's almost laughable.
On the xxxpt forum, Jeff Steward finally responded to folks complaining about the lighting in the American Bukkake scenes, and he made some silly comment about it not being as easy as it looks. Dude, please look at at least one Japanese bukkake movie and take a few fucking notes. Shuttle Japan, Moodyz, Waap and S.O.D. in Japan were shooting bukkakes 10 years ago and the lighting is FLAWLESS, the camera work is brilliant, and while watching their movies, you're not subjected to fat idiots standing around in frame jerking off to magazines (WTF is up with that, anyway LMFAO).
It's ignorance and arrogance like this that makes me believe that some directors are just hopeless, and will never get it. They put out shitty movie after shitty movie, and because the margins are just enough that they make a profit (or at least continue to get paid), they think they're hot shit. I'm not buying it.

Looks like to me you have an idiot with no idea how to use a real camera using a real camera.
ie vince got a real HDCAM and has no idea how to use it except in automatic mode, and since it doesnt have one he is clueless about things like shutter speed.
with HD coming more and more you will see more and more of this kind of thing.

I didn't see that film but I did notice the situation in The Perfectionist by Woodman Entertainment. It's like when something moves theres a slight trail affect that makes the movie uncomfortable to watch.

And they are the cutest chicks in the flick too. Cassandra works her ass off and just stays so real and upbeat. My first time to see Andi and she is a stunner. The camera work is pretty unimaginative though.
You're right about Evil Angel, Cumwhipper. Quality is always top notch and guys like Jake and Joey use the camera to make the women look their best. Porn's not about fucking and sucking, it's about beautiful women who just happen to be fucking and sucking, luckily for us And those guys clearly love gorgeous women.
You get what you pay for. Evil Angel's stuff is at the high end of the cost scale but you never get a dud.
So, Tricia, get Cassandra and Andi onto your sets soon... please!

Glad I started this thread though. At least now I know for sure my eyesight's not going! Why would it though, that whole thing is just a myth, right?
