I've also had cases where something from the creation of the disc is still on it and a good cleaning has solved the problem. But usually it is the first case.

| greatskilz Member 161 Posts 6/05 |  Posted - Apr 24 2006 : 8:59PMApologies if this is not a tech issue; I think it relates more to the authoring on DVDs. Some of my purchases from cheaper companies, as well as a few major ones, display what I can only describe as digital picture breakdowns in any instance of repeated fast motion (and there's a lot of that in porn.) My question would be: is this flaw on my end (the DVD player) or the production end? I seem to be noticing it a lot more lately. Apologies again if this was covered elsewhere; feel free to direct me to the relevant thread. Otherwise, any help would be appreciated. Thanks! [Link] |

| greatskilz Member 161 Posts 6/05 | Posted - May 5 2006 : 10:02PM Well, this may sound naive but I'm stunned. Of the many adult DVDs I purchased last month, maybe 1 in 2 had a noticeable pixellation or block artifact problem at some point in their run. It's hard to believe this is widely accepted and "par for the course." I suppose there can be several explanations: as widely reported, video does not look good on DVD; the higher encoding standards may be viewed as prohibitively expensive (ironic given that porn is "a recession-proof industry," why not put out high quality product?); lastly, given the below-ground nature of this business in the first place, there's not a lot of publicization or FAQs* about adult media and people tend to take what they're given. But this is the first time I ever questioned the format, at least for this application. VHS may have been patently inferior, but in those days I didn't have to worry about interlacing or block artifacts. *(although I'd love a link if there were any!) [Link] |

| BigBobxxx Senior Member 2681 Posts 5/04 | Posted - May 6 2006 : 8:50AM How many VHS tapes: I don't miss the VHS media at all. The one really bad drawback with DVDs, and ALL digital formats, is that when certain problems develop you have complete failure of the entire disc. Fortunately, this is a rare occurrence. When I have had unwatchable DVDs due to the problems you discussed, I have burned new DVDs. The re-coding process has always cured these problems for me.
