DVD issues

pingclang · 10-19-2013, 03:09 PM

I have the Turtle Van version of the OT series and have slowly been making my way through the series. Yesterday I noticed my dvd would jump back to the first episode, "Raphael Meets His Match" on disc 9 (season 4) instead of going to the fifth episode, "Funny, They Shrunk Michaelangelo". Even when I tried to manually select the episode from the episode list it would start playing "Raphael Meets His Match." I cleaned the disc and no change, noticed some scratching on it so I had it resurfaced at a local electronics store who made the thing look fresh off the press, still nothing.

Is anyone having any similar issues?

If you haven't already, try playing it on a different DVD player. Maybe it's not the disc at all.

That doesn't sound like a scratched disc. It sounds like it was encoded wrong. I don't know how that happens, but I've bought DVDs in the past that had all of the menus, special features, etc., but no movie on the disc.

I'm not sure how long you've had this, but "slowly been making my way through it" seems to imply you've had it well past the return period. You could always order a used copy of Season 4 off Amazon and switch out the discs.

It's coded wrong. I've tried it in 3 players and like I said had it resurfaced professionally and it still does it. I'm going to take your advice, I'll have to buy season 4. Bummer.
