I had a set of all moives and TV episodes on DVD that I purchased
when Borders was in business and the quality was good. They were produced
by Warner Brothers. They were widescreen, dolby digital DVDs and the
visual and audio quality was outstanding. I had at the time a 32" High Def
screen and 7.1 sound system. (Upgraded now to 55" 4K TV still with the
7.1 sound system. (Did not have the Wolfer because on the second floor of
a one famaily house I would have shakened walls apart). The speakers did
a good job of reproducing all the lows.
I watched all the set when I purchased them and after a pause when I went
through one or more of my other series or movies, (I probably have 300 or
400 DVDs and 4K movies), I picked the series up again.
I'm telling you this because after a few years I decided that I want to run
the whole B5 saga from start to finish. (You actually start with "In The
Beginning" then "The Gatering" then run the series inserting the movies and
the final film just before "Sleeping In Light" which is the last what you
watch). Anyway after picking the series up again I found that some of the DVDs,
(not all from the same year set), were totally BLANK, like they were never
recorded. I do not know what caused this but the data has simply disappeard
like the DVDs were read/write that you could erase like a
DVD-ROM.
I wrote Warner Brothers about this and offered to send them the whole set
and after about two or three months of back and fourth about it the sent
me another brand new set of all the movies and series. (Maybe I was not
the first to report this). I ran the new set and found it "mostly perfect"
though there were one or two that were actually BLANK in the set. Fortunally
they never asked for the first set back and I was able to swap out discs
from one set to the other to make a complete set.
I have not picked up the B5 series a a few years. I'm wondering if I will
find the same issue again if I decied to do so.
Well your story just brought this to mind and I had to tell it.
Take care.
