TRS - those DVDS are INSANELY wonderful. I received them Saturday morning (folks, that's West Coast US to Scotland in FIVE days!).
Thank you so much.
By the way, they play perfectly in my iBook DVD player (European model), although my proper player had trouble - but it is old, so I am not too bothered, upgrading soon.
Again, thank you muchly!

Just a minor update for anyone it applies to.
These DVD's *DO* work in PS2's(at least mine), but not reliably. Just pop it in a few times and wait till it tells you it doesnt' work or it starts working. Seems to work maybe 1/5-10 times(after it starts, it won't have any issues till you take it out)
Great DVD's again :)

Thanks Tabitha! 5 days is really fast!!
I'm currently working with a couple people who are having problems with the discs on their players (couple set tops and 1 computer).
So far, in all cases a replacement set of (different brand) media fixes the problem. I am using a couple different brands and burning using 2 different burners so it's not surprising. The majority of the sets are being burned to Ritek 4X brand DVD-Rs so it's not like I'm using crappy media!
When a replacement set is needed, I'm sending either TDK 2X, or Imation 1X, or Memorex 1X media. TDK seems to solve it for most.
I hope everyone that I'm working with is satisfied with my responsiveness to their issues. I've only given 1 refund thus far, and replacement sets are sent out free.
The trend seems to be:
Players older than 2 1/2 or 3 years (set top and computer) will most likely have a problem no matter what media I send.
Toshiba players of any age seem to be the most fussy. TDK seems to work best with them.
PS2s are hit and miss as SlowSmurf points out.
Apex models lower than 1600 (1500, 1200, etc), don't seem to work no matter what I send. This is surprising to me because Apex are supposed to be the "swiss army knife" of players.
That's it for now. I still have a few color sets, and some plain sets available (more plain than color).

Wow,got home tonight to find the DVDs had arrived!
Opened the package,nice packing job by the way,to find 3 VERY nicely done DVD cartons. The artwork on the cartons and on the Disc's is 1st rate, really impressive.The full color set is really worth the few extra bucks, trust me. I popped in "The Train Job" and viewed it on a 60" Mitsubishi TV, The picture quality is great, the sound is great! The Disc's even have interactive menu's and you have all the slow motion functions, you can also scan thru the chapters at will. All in all, everything a FireFly fan could hope for. Lance, you did a wonderful job with this set. I wanted to post this here because AOL does not seem to let your emails post thru to me. Also thanks again for the quick service, just 6 day from the time I dropped the check in the mail.
Best Regards, Spencer

Mine arrived yesterday and I immediately popped mine in the DVD player... the player is the Sony 300 which is like a juke box in that it holds 300 DVD/CD's. Picked on The Train Job and it started right up and looked beautiful. I was immensly impressed. My only problem was I didn't have time to watch the whole thing! I ran out of time and have to wait until Wednesday to start watching the rest.
Thanks for doing this I am really enjoying these DVD's.
