| M.B. Senior Member 1679 Posts 2/01 |  Posted - Feb 16 2003 : 10:49AMI think someone already posted a thread on problems with this disc. I had earlier posted that mine played fine (it was becuase I hadn't got that far through the movie yet). Turns out that I'm having the same problems some others are having with this disc. At the 1:40:10 point of the movie (chapter 44) it freezes up and the screen starts to shake a bit, the disc will then throw you somewhere between the 1:44:10 piont and the 1:55:00 point (the last chapter) and the shaking of the screen continues. Most of the scene that chapter 44 is a part of is totally unaccessable. And the last chapter stabalizes a couple of minutes into it. I rented a copy of Rogue #9 at my local store just to check it out for this problem, and it is the same as the copy I bought, same problems with freezing, shaking and unaccessability. Two versions of the same disc, same problem. I have a Sony DVP-S360. This player has excellent error correction. I have noticed that Evil Angel's discs problems always occur after the layer change. My Sony it will play some discs that other folks machines have problems with (for instance Rogue Adventures #3, I think cubesnake or BigMike posted that they couldn't play this disc past the 3rd scene). I noticed that on Rogue #3 past the 3rd scene my machine can play it, but when fast forwarding it tends to skip and freeze up a bit), but when playing at normal speed it's fine. When fast frowarding is the giveaway that something might be wrong with the disc as it has trouble when using the FF. This slight skipping or stalling during fast forwarding after the layer change occures on Evil Angel discs quite frequently. Maybe Evil Angel ought to have a talk with thier dvd authoror, because I see on a consistent basis, slight difficulty in fast forwarding after the layer change. And it's definately not my player, it'll play discs that are not playable in other machines. I have noticed this FF problem in some Vivid discs as well, some skipping and stalling after the layer change. Edited by - M.B. on Feb 16 2003  [Link] |

But I don't recall having any problems with that. Out of the 300 DVDs I own, Rogue 3 is the only one I can't play through. ---BIGmike's AEE Adventure (photos from) thread ---  [Link] |
| tricia_devereaux Evil Angel DVD Patience is a virtue, but who wants to be virtuous? 4283 Posts 4/00 | Posted - Feb 16 2003 : 6:14PM However, since most people aren't having problems with our discs, we have decided to not throw out the existing discs from that replicator in our inventory. For Rogue 9, at the current time, the best I can do is offer you an exchange for a different Rogue DVD. [Link] |
| M.B. Senior Member 1679 Posts 2/01 | Posted - Feb 16 2003 : 7:27PM I've already sent my disc back to the online store I bought it at, so I'll have to see if the copy that's sent back to me has the same problem. Edited by - M.B. on 2/16/2003 7:28:34 PM [Link] |
| tricia_devereaux Evil Angel DVD Patience is a virtue, but who wants to be virtuous? 4283 Posts 4/00 | Posted - Feb 16 2003 : 7:50PM When things are an authoring problem, ALL the discs will have the exact same problem. When it's a replication problem, ALMOST all the discs from the same run will have very similar problems. Let me know if you have the same problems with the new copy as with the other copies. I'll have to see if we've recently done a reorder run of Rogue 9. Also how much inventory we have of the title right now. If it's not TOO much, we can justify a new run with our new replicators in the very new future. [Link] |
