As a connoisseur of porn, especially anal, I love some of the Vivid Raw features. Now that I have a DVD player, I have started buying DVDs. I've gone back to some of the better VHS titles in my collection and have purchased the DVD.
I have to say, I am sorely disappointed in Vivid DVDs. Supposed to be the leader and at the forefront of DVD technology...I think they are full of CRAP! First, the sticker on the box says 4 HOURS...yeah, right. I timed the feature (Watcher 2) and the preview stuff and it totalled 3 hours and 23 minutes - I can accept a few minutes difference, but over 30 minutes difference is a bit off target.
I got another DVD from Vivid - Action Sports Sex series - that has 27 minutes less time than the VHS. I spoke to the place where I bought it and they said Vivid often cuts time from the movie to make space on their DVDs for all the "extras." What a load of BS!
And now Vivid is advertising that they throw in a bonus DVD. I wonder what that is filled with - Better get some waders, cause you'll need them.

anyone else notice this from Vivid? Haven't seen these problems with any of the other companies I've purchased DVDs from (Leisure Time, Elegant Angel, Metro, VCA, etc...)

Daking, my understanding is that they cut a lot of stuff to make use of the multiple angles. If this is the case, all the "lost" minutes are still there-just at the same time as other parts of the sex scenes. This is a major complaint I and many others have with the multiple angle/edits issue.

Extra's: I greatly prefer the extra's on an Adam & Eve Premium title, Wicked, VCA, over most Vivid titles I've watched because those other company's seem to put extra's that are exclusive to the title on them. Vivid puts a bunch of "interactive rooms" and such that are tossed onto many a disc. (ie: seen one, you've seen them all approach)

I've read where Vivid is going to change this in the future and I hope they do.

Vivid' Wave and Raw line don't use the multpile angles, but they still cut a lot of the movie out. As scary as it is, the Wave line has been one of Vivid's best lines (if you like Vivid's stuff, which I consider extremely over rated). The price is down and the transfer is normally pretty good. If only they'd give us the entire movie.

How many people really care about all the "bonus" footage?

To me, I'ld rather see the whole movie and a full-length bonus scene(s) that goes along with the content of the movie I purchased...ie. an anal scene on a predominately anal video.

Yep, this is a frequent topic...the last major thread on this was back in June: Vivid DVDs - A Warning!...

I wholeheartedly agree. One of the first DVDs I bought was Bad Wives. I bought it mainly because of the hype and awards. The movie is garbage. I later bought Seven[Deadly Sins] to give Vivid another chance. Strike TWO! They're out. I do have to thank them for one thing. It was because of my desire to vent my displeasure at those two DVDs that I found this site. Vivid needs to learn that it takes more than just beautiful women to make a good porn video. Even my wife finds the videos lacking. I recommend Private DVDs for quality(but even they aren't perfect).

I have two Action Sports Sex dvds. Can anyone tell me what might have been cut compared to the video from vol. 1 and/or 3?

TIA
