This wasn't a failure of the format, it's a failure of whoever did the transfer/framing.]]>Dec 18th 2007 1:47PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/

What's that? A hypocrite you say? No, not BBG!]]>Dec 18th 2007 11:00AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/Dec 18th 2007 11:21AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/
FYI,

After you call them they tell you that you need to send an email with following information to disneyinfo@disneyhelp.com

Name, Phone Number, Full Address, and Disk UPC.

You can call the number but this is the automated message that comes up first.

Anyone remember just how bad some DVD releases were in the early years. Non-anamorphic and just some pure crap transfers. The original Tombstone comes to mind since I liked the movie and watched it a lot. It looked alright on my 27" non-HD set, but once I got my 55" HD set, I couldn't watch it anymore. That 55" set made a lot of my DVDs unwatchable, I welcome HDM with open arms due to that.]]>Dec 18th 2007 12:45PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/Dec 18th 2007 4:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/
While reports on message boards can help, there is nothing like a documented example with the media involved.]]>Dec 18th 2007 12:51PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/
The discs worked perfectly while playing the movie, people's heads were just cut off in some scenes.]]>Dec 18th 2007 1:46PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/Dec 18th 2007 1:15PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/

This is an authoring problem which means the fault is in house at disney. They should have done better. That's just lazy.


The other problems were with replication facilities that are generally contract producers. They improperly assembled the box sets (hddvd in bluray) and had bad clean room/press room habits that allowed blu ray discs and HDDVD's to become corrupted and/or have layering issues. They probably didn't realize there was a problem until consumers got the discs in hand with respect to the layer/dirt/dust problem.]]>Dec 18th 2007 4:09PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/Dec 18th 2007 4:36PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/Dec 18th 2007 6:13PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/disney-now-replacing-faulty-pirates-2-blu-ray-disc/
Anyway, I hope the new Pirates work with the people who were having problems.]]>Dec 18th 2007 9:53PM
