Hi all,

Thread bumpage first

Next, I'm current with answering all emails prior to today (Saturday). I'm having some computer trouble at the moment so I won't be able to answer emails until Sunday sometime.

Thanks for your patience.

trs80 has already received my comments about the DVD's, but I wanted to bump the thread and state that I'm another EXTREMELY satisfied customer!

One other reason to get the Official DVDs when they come out -- to not have to see the stupid ads Fox puts on at the beginning of each section after the commercials! :)

The quality was, I thought, astounding from broadcast and the menu was very well put together!

TSR80 I'm sending you an e-mail in regards to the Firefly DVD's I sent one before not sure if you got it.

Thanks trs for the quick ship! Got the DVD's in one day (we're separated only by a couple of freeways and a bridge).

Turns out my player doesn't play them. Trs has been very responsive and helpful even though it is NOT a problem with his DVDs. It is my stupid Toshiba player.

TOSHIBA OWNERS BEWARE. Before I ordered the discs, I wrote to Toshiba and asked them if my player could play DVD-R discs. They said, yes, it can. So I ordered the DVDs from trs. Popped them in and kaboom! Disc error. So I contacted Toshiba again. They said, "Whoops! Did we say yes? I'm sorry, we meant to say NO WAY IN HELL! Thanks for calling and have a nice day." So if you have a Toshiba player, I would recommend checking and double-checking and triple-checking if your player can play DVD-Rs. However, trs said he has had zero success with Toshiba. So be forewarned!

It is back to VCDs for me. Ah well, better than nuthin'

I got My disks within 2 days from TRS, and I am extremely happy with them. I also have a Toshiba player as My main player and it won't play the disks, but I have no problem with playing them on My PC or PS2. The sound and video are excellent.

Thanks again TRS!!

It is definitely NOT, repeat NOT, a problem with the discs. In fact, trs offered to burn another set if I found media that worked with Toshibas (which I didn't). Now that's customer service!

Since DVD-Rs are soon gonna be as common as CD-Rs, figure I'll pick up an Apex player. Those things may not be the best quality but they'll play anything (especially if you do a firmware update). Heck, they might even play the cd cover.

Some Toshiba players play DVD-R and others do not, as you discovered. While Toshiba may not know about their players and what they are capable of playing, www.dvdrhelp.com ( www.vcdhelp.com) might. Check out the following page for a list of Toshiba players and what they can play.

My Toshiba plays TRS's disks great!

Thanks for the info. I've checked it out. Some people can play it, some can't. Certain brands of DVDs work, some don't. Sounds very sporadic. Ah, technology. Ain't it grand?! You're so lucky that yours works. I'm tremendously jealous.
