So I sat down this evening, feeling a little under the weather still, to watch an episode from volume 2 of "Flag" to cheer myself up. Only to find that the disc is either defective or miss-pressed. It takes much longer than it should for the player to read it, and then when it does it stutters badly enough to be functionally unwatchable.
Very annoyed about this as I was looking forward to something short but high-quality to watch over my dinner. Now I am going to have to go to the hassle of importing it all over again.
But it did make me realise something. This is actually the first DVD I can remember having that actually was defective. And considering the fair number of DVD's I own, and the number that I have owned I'm actually quite pleased with that hit rate to be honest.

At first i thought this was 'Detective DVDs' and was all up for a discussion on Columbo or something.
I've had a few defective ones, mostly really cheap horror ones and Troma discs from bargain bins which is to be expected. What did you watch instead?

If I hadn't run out of episodes of "Area 88" the night before I would have watched that. In the end I plumped for going from the sublime to the ridiculous and put on an episode of RiD. Which certainly did the trick in making me more cheerful. Karl |

I believe I've only got one defective DVD in my huge collection and that is one I can easily live without. There are however some DVD's which seem defective but aren't. The original XBox had difficulty playing some DVD's that my actual DVD player had no trouble with. The XBox also refuses to play DVD's by a production company calling itself Hollywood DVD.

Hollywood DVD provides about 90% of my dvd collection due to their constant releases of terrible horror films.

4K HD discs are apparently the new future for those who like tangible media.

First disk of my Enterprise Bluray set is defective.
Glad I decided to watch it while I still have the ability to return it.
