Anyone else ever have this problem with DVD's?

Question

I bought a DVD box set of a TV series, and each DVD has 4 episodes on it. For some reason my DVD player wont read the 3rd episode on each DVD, and my Playstation 3 wont read the 3rd episode either. However my laptop reads them all just fine. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Answer 1

That's very strange. I had a problem like that once, but from a DVD I put together myself using the computer. I never ever had problems with bought DVDs. You can

* Take it back and ask for a refund

* or get in touch with the company that produces the DVDs and tell them about your problem

* or re-do the DVD using your computer (if you are really keen), and see if it plays on your DVD player. Not a great solution, I admit, and I am not even sure if you are allowed to do that, you'll have to check it's legality first....

BTW, is it a foreign series? It may be a different standard.
