michelle thorne virtual sex dvd probs!
Re: michelle thorne virtual sex dvd probs!
MJ sorry to sound rude. Its scientifically impossible for the laser to change the disc. The only thing that could have a factor in it is the static build up in the disc received from certain machines. Often rubbing a disc on your hair or a jumper can affect the way it plays, although its not recommended because it scratches the surface of the disc slightly.
Re: michelle thorne virtual sex dvd probs!
That bitrate is well withing the specifications. I did not think this matter would be related to bitrate anyway, but I posted all that for Jays information. He should not fob people off if he doesnt really know the answer himself. Theres nothing wrong with admitting that you do not know someonthing.

Re: michelle thorne virtual sex dvd probs!
Thanks Steven,
You're absolutely right, I don't know. I am not an expert in DVD technology, or authoring.
We can certainly try a different disc for pj, see if it is different. If not, he can have his money back, no probs at all. Guaranteed.
You most definately know your stuff, have have you seen the disc?
I'd like to know exactly why it is a problem with some (older) machines, send me an email and we can discuss it without clogging up the forum, maybe.

Assuring you of the best possible attention at all times.
Re: michelle thorne virtual sex dvd probs!
I have not seen the disc myself but have seen a breakdown of the disc that somebody posted here a while back.
As Easter Egg has supplied readings from his bitrate counter and they are all withing the specification, I think we can write off any problems with the actual video file compatibility.
What is more likely is errors in the authoring process. This disc is highly complicated due to all the possibilities the user can select. Its probably the most complex disc in terms of menu structures that any of us are likely to come accross.
When the disc is inserted in the machine and loaded up, the machine reads an area of the disc called a TOC (table of contents). This part tells the machine exactly where each section of the disc starts and stops. The machine holds this information in its memory.
When a particular part of the disc is then selected by the user, the machine looks to the TOC in its memory and checks where that section of the disc starts. Then it can move its laser to the correct position of the disc and begin playback of that section.
Errors in the authoring process sometimes mean that the actual video on the disc and the segments referred to in the TOC do not tally with each other. In other words the machine can look in the TOC, find where a particular segment is supposed to be, but when it moves its laser to that position, it does not find what it is expecting to see there, because it does not match with what that TOC says is there.
Different machines may have different levels of tolerance for errors like this. Generally the older machines are made by recognised companies eg Philips, Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Yamaha etc. These companies all made DVD player right from the start, and all were bulit to specifications set out back in 1996.
If you start asking these machines to play anything out of standard they will simply refuse to play it.
More recently more unknown far-eastern companies have been producing cheap DVD players. There are really only a few chipsets among these players. One chipset will be used in hundreds or thousands of different models and sold under hundreds of different brand names - most of them unheard of but some well known makes are also selling these machines with their own name on them.
Is is fair to say that many of these "cheapo" machines are much more tolerant of "out-of-spec" discs and formats. many of them will even play mpeg files burned onto a cdr or dvdr without evenbeing authored into a proper DVD file structure. Rather than a DVD player they act more like a computer. Essentially all they are is a DVD-Rom drive with mpeg decoder board and video output, so they do not really care if the disc is a proper DVD or not, they just decode the data and send it out to the TV.

Re: michelle thorne virtual sex dvd probs!
It's a POWERPOINT. It plays multi region as well. I've seen the Jenna Jameson virtual dvds and they play like a charm. I just thought that a Brit virtual dvd would do the same.

Re: michelle thorne virtual sex dvd probs!
Thanks Steven for the tech specifics.
I think from reading all the posts here, especially by those in the know of the dvd authoring process, maybe a few lessons can b learned and put to use when creating any future virtual sex dvds.
I don't usually complain, but it's just that for the price I paid, I'd like it to work without any hitches. Mj, I don't know how far you've gone with the Alicia Rhodes dvd in terms of its authorship and then pressing, but the tech specifics should be passsed onto your guys and then discuss the possibilities of preventing this from happening again.

Pj
