Problem is, almost 90% of those glitches happens on Toshiba players. Not only with porn, but also with mainstream titles as well. Just check a quick list I compiled:

We recently purchased some DVDs from various companies, including A&E - not for distribution, just to see how they're done, what kind of extras they have, etc.

Apart from that, we also have a DVD magazine and we're constantly testing new players. And we use, for the testing, some titles listed as "problematics" at Raincoat's site.

All of the A&E titles played 100% fine in all the players we tested, including some cheap-ass, bottom-of-the-line brands. EXCEPT the Toshibas. One of the Toshibas even SPAT OUT a Zane titles (Backstage Sluts #2), that played fine in all the other players - including the cheap-ass CCE and the grumpy Gradiente.

That's very weird. Is Toshiba allergic to porn, or something like that?

And if you want to buy a new player, I, personally, would suggest you a Pioneer or Sony. Sony's so sensitive, you don't even see the layer change in the dual-layer discs; Pioneer isn't THAT precise, but of all the players I know it's the one who's más macho .

Therefore, there has to be something that these manufacturers are doing that other manufacturers are not doing that causes these players to have problems.

Has it been determined what the variable is that causes the problems with the Toshibas? If so, is there a different way to accomplish whatever it is that this variable does?

When it comes down it, although there are problems with these Toshiba players, there are a lot of them out there. Most people are not going to buy a new player because they can't play Adam & Eve titles on this player. They will just stop buying Adam & Eve titles.

It's very easy to say "It's Toshiba's problem" and not do anything to fix the situation. But the fact remains that the compatibility problem is going to cost Adam & Eve (as well as other manufacturers) money. When 90+% of discs will play correctly on someones machine, they are probably going to place the blame on the manufacturer of what they see as defective discs. Unless it is a huge deal, It only makes sense for the software manufacturers to do something to get around this problem.

That's all I can think of for now, I will update if anything else comes to mind.

i haven't had any problems with the players, other than the sound problem on some private discs, which i fixed by changing the setup to analog (as per someone's suggestion in the forum.)

i wish i could be more helpful. just wanted to add to the evidence pile :)

ImageKat, do you happen to know if there is anything different about this disk than others made by Adam and Eve?

Another overall problem, is we are pushing technologies
on all ends, authoring and players....Somewhere something
is not going to be compatable with all discs. Some of
the older players have trouble with the newer discs coming
out. The amount of information creates problems for the
reader.

We are going to see these problems from the past, in
the present and on in to the future as the technologies
continue to grow, new glitches will come to light....

I am continuing my research and will let you know what
I find out.
