Why I hate DVD's. I'm so pissed off

[TVFactFan]

I buy a DVD yesterday and there were 2 discs that wouldn't play so i take it back today so i could get another set. So i come home with a brand new set and still there are two discs that won't play. So should I go back to the store for third time? They will look at me like i'm crazy if i come back again. This is why i hate DVD's they are overrated and i hate buying them. I'm so pissed off right now

Do you see season sets tv series being released on VHS? DVD is the catalyst for all this stuff being released in the first place. There are movies that have made more money from dvd sales than they did at the box office, so I disagree with anyone who thinks dvds are overrated. You can have problems with video cassettes just as easily (if not more often) as you would with dvds.

No one forced you to buy them did they?

It's more than likely your DVD player, have you used the cleaning stuff on it? You do, like with VCR's have to keep them clean too

That's the frustrating thing, either i buy shows on DVD and deal with the aggravation or don't buy them. I wish shows were released on VHS bcause I never have problem with VHS. The problem i'm having today with What's Happening is after the Columbia Tristar Intro is finshed, that's when the menu is supposed to appear on the screen but it's just a black screen after the Columbia Tristar intro is done.

It's not the DAmm DVD player. I already said i'm not having any problems with the 5th season of Sanford and Son. I bought both What's Happening and Sanford and Son at the same time yesterday. So it looks like i will have to get Different Strokes in exchange for What's Happening

So you're saying the screen stays frozen? How long does it last, a second or two, or it just doesn't change?

TV shows on VHS would cost too much especially for season sets(I know, I bought some tvshow tapes and paid about $25 a piece and they only had two episodes on each tape)

Sounds like you got a bad copy take it back(again) and exchange it, if it still does it, return it for full refund, and go buy it from somewhere else.

My A Team DVD did that, the picture would scramble, it was the DVD, I had to take it back, and it was fine.

It still could be your DVD player. Do you leave it on all the time?

It could be the copy of the DVD you got, it could be any number of things. I would still go out and buy something to clean your DVD player with, then try playing the DVD again and see if that helps

On Disc 1 and 2 of What's Happening, after the columia tristar intro, the screen never goes to the menu for episode selection. Only on the 3rd Disc you see the menu after the CT intro. So all the WH DVD must be like that at Tower Records. So I will have to get another show and it looks like it's going to be Different Strokes

Angela you are not making any sense, for the last time I'm currently watching my Sanford and Son DVD without any problems. So it has to be the DVD not my DVD player. If it was my DVD player then Sanford and Son would be doing the samething.

It could still be the DVD player. A player can play one DVD fine while not being able to play another. I don't know the technical reason for it, but it does happen.

Has anyone tried to play the DVDs you returned on another player?

I thought about doing that but i see no point in going to my mom's house to play that particular DVD on her DVD player because I won't be able to watch there if it plays and i'm not going to buy a new DVD player so i can see What's Happening. So the DVD will be returned and i have to buy the DVD at another store

I agree with I am Him, it could still be your DVD player, best thing to do is return the DVD, buy it somewhere else, and if it still does it, then it's your DVD player.

or you could always rent a copy of it, and see if it does it.
