Is anyone experiencing problems with the End of Evangelion DVD that came
out yesterday? It plays just fine in my player until you hit Chapter 9 on
the disk. Then it starts to play choppy and ultimately locks up my machine.
I'm going to return it later today but was wondering if anyone else is
having problems to see if I should return or exchange it for another copy.
Thanks in advance!

Aaron

Gaah, I thought this was just my crappy Apex.

I think mine fuzzed up a bit right there, but kept running. I'm using a
PS2, BTW.

I do not have my copy yet, it is in shipping. Now I am a little worried.
I noticed on D&R when Rebirth started the top of the picture was skewed
horizontally but not bad enough to complain.

Haven't screened the entire disc yet, but sampled that portion on my
Sony NS700P. The layer change is between chapters 8 and 9, and that's
probably giving some players a fit. The transition plays OK on mine,
but I haven't played the disc all the way through. Good luck

Somewhere around 9/25/2002 21:27, the world stopped as Frigidus graced
us with this little tidbit of wisdom:

Same here. I'm running a Panisonic. Interesting though, when I go
backwards and replay it, it's fine.

A lot of these discs have problems of varying severity. Manga Entertainment
is working on a recall program, supposedly. Go see www.animenewsnetwork.com
for details.

(specific to Region 1 DVD from Manga)
A followup. Manga finally confirms some defective discs were shipped:
<http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/article.php?id=2767>
"First off, Keith acknowledged that some of the DVDs were in fact
defective and explains the actual defect. Of aproximately 70 000 End
of Eva DVDs produced, one batch of about 5000 did not press correctly,
resulting in the second layer being somewhat off-center. Depending on
the DVD player, this resulted in anything from some minor skipping, to
the second part of the DVD being completely unplayable."


Disc exchange program info:
<http://www.animeondvd.com/press/manga/manga022.php>
" If you have experienced difficulties playing your disc, we recommend
the following:

1.If you have purchased a possible problematic disc, please return it
to your store for an exchange. It is highly likely that the
replacement disc will perform correctly.

2.If this procedure does not work for you, please send us your disc
including the packaging to:

Manga Entertainment
Evangelion DVD
P.O. Box 482
Lincolnshire, Il 60069-0482
"


So anyone planing on purchasing a used or auction R1 EoE disc should
beware... may have to pay shipping again to get a working replacement
from Manga!

And how do they plan on rectifying the absolutely wretched video
transfer?
