One Six Right

I'm wondering if maybe Jon's player is old enough to have a compatibility
issue with a disc that was burned as either a +R or a -R.

Don't know which way "One Six Right" is being mastered but you might try
contacting the production company to find out and then ask for the other
format.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking. You said it better.

I doubt that they can do the other format, though. They probably rendered a
master, then had it mass-produced. I would say just go get another DVD
player; he could treat himself, and help the economy. g They are so cheap
now, it is amazing!

Fortunately, the disc format is independant of the format on which they
mastered the final production. Disc mastering is simply a matter of
deciding which burner (-R or +R) to use. Mass duplication shops simply have
a rack or six of burners that just crank 'em out. I used to work in a
facility that (back in the days of VHS) had 16,000 VCRs on the duplication
floor and this place ran 24/7/360 so they could crank out a hell of a lot of
tapes in pretty short order.

I'd bet it's worth an email or a phone call. You might open their eyes to a
potential "tecno-trap" that they hadn't thought of. Especially since this
was a niche production on a relatively low budget.

My DVD player is a Pioneer Elite model DV-47Ai. It is only a year old
and it cost me $1500.00. It is supposed to play all formats of DVD, CD,
SACD and DVD-Audio disks so I doubt that it is the player. Next to my
airplane I spend tons of cash on home theater stuff. :-) I think I got
a bum disk. I just hope they make it right...

For $30, they had better not be burning those DVDs. At that price, I'd
expect a pressed disc, without any compatibility issues.

It really depends on the sales numbers.

Duplication (ie burned) is less expensive for small runs (generally less
than a thousand discs or so...)

Replication only makes sense if you need to produce a high enough volume
where you can be an ongoing (ie profitable) project for a disc manufacturing
facility.

Neither process is perfect, it could just be a bad disc...it happens.

(Replicated DVDs are created by disc molding process itself.)

I just got my DVD today and am a little disappointed with the
performance.

How old is your VCR? I'll bet there is a "programming" compatibility
issue
going on.


Is that like - Hey, I can't get my 45's to play in my 8-track?

....or are you talking about a 'problem' running the DVD through the VCR?

....or at 1 am I need to cut you more slack, and you meant DVD? g

Yes, more slack please. I think I may need to hang myself! ;-o

Monty, you're a trip. LOL

I watched mine Sunday (which had arrived Saturday) on my big screen.

I don't think any film has conveyed the pure emotional joy of flight as
well, and I wish there was a way to get the DVD in front of the
mainstream, rather than just "the choir", who already love flying and
airports.

I was particularly pleased to see among the film's credits two of my
professional aerial photographer colleague's names . . . Mark Holtzman
of Los Angeles and Mark Remaley of Chicago. What a thrill it must be to
have one's work included in such a fine aviation film.
