Someone should save a copy of the AU MSCL page, so there is a record of it saying: "The bonus disk includes a completely original interview with Winnie Holzman, Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick and an hour of material licensed from the Museum of TV and Radio." ALready done. I also did this on 1...

2) Also DVD players can make the audio slip slightly (PS2 is great at this!) although it seems to be irrelevant in this case... This is especially true if your DVD player is downconverting a 5.1 track to regular stereo. Anyway...anyone with their copy...check this out by disabling your rear speaker...

That was pretty fast for media mail. You can't beat $45. God bless venture capital and the fools who spend it.

hey phelix, do you know if the 5.1 track is always being decoded? the bit rate could be realy high and slow down the overall performance. just a guess. but the 2.0 track shouldnt be oof, that just sux. DD is a fixed rate format (448kbps in this case). My analysis is done from a 'rip' or direct digi...

I've got good news and bad news. The good news is.... I GOT MY DISCS!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D The bad news is that you're right, the audio is out of sync. Now for some more good news. There is a second 2.0 sountrack on the disc and it isn't screwed up. The problem is only with the 5.1 soundtrack. Th...

Re: audio out of synch with video

I have so far viewed the first 3 Volumes and found that the audio in Episode 10 ("Other People's Mothers") is slightly out of synch with the video. I am eager to know if this defect is more widespread than my particular disk. Yes, it is also that way on my set. It's just a millisecond off, but it's...

The True Value of CMIH stock

Judging from the lycos board, CMIH is trading at $0.0002 per share. That number is so low it is difficult to visualize. To that end, I have conducted the following analysis to determine the true worth of CMIH stock. One good way to accomplish this is to compare CMIH stock to some everyday item we al...

Re: I SPOKE WITH ROSS AGAIN TODAY

In total, 3600 persons had ordened the DVD ( AU paid for 5000 units ). around 700 cancelled, but not all have been reimbursed yet. Ouch. Ross is sitting on 2100 sets that he'll probably never be able to sell. And he has to cough up $70,000 in refunds. That's got to hurt. I'd almost feel sorry for R...

Re: AU refues to respond to bank investigator

Sorry about Amsouth being so unresponsive. As with AU do you think that if enough of Amsouth customers complained about AU that Amsouth might actually get off their collective duff and do something for you guys? I posed that exact question to the investigator. She was, to put it nicely, unresponsiv...

Of course, the contrast setting on the display (tv or monitor) will make the banding better or worse, depending on the setting. The Macrovision (if that is what the top row is) isn't going to be seen on most cathode ray TV's. Most "normal" TVs don't display the edges of the picture signal. But if y...

If AU's response to my bank's investigation is any indication, Ross plans to do absolutely nothing but keep our money.

AU refues to respond to bank investigator

Well, I'm finally getting a chargeback on my doublecharge from my bank, Amsouth. Here's the story: When I filed my complaint, Amsouth attempted to contact AU to, among other things, acquire a receipt from them as part of the claim resolution process. Amsouth gives merchants 30 days to respond. 30 da...

Logic suggests that these lines were added in the DVD process. I hope that someone will explain as to why, and if possible, never do it again. You never know what BMG Special Products might push out next, and I might want it. db I don't have the discs yet, so take my statement for what it's worth. ...
