DVD's good or bad.

 :)Do you buy DVD's when on holiday, we bought loads in June and some worked, some stopped near the end, and some just never worked,even when we got home some never worked. can it be 3 dvd players that are faulty or the dvd,s themselves.We ended up going to Fethiye and buying them there for 4lira, and all of them were ok.![^]

We always buy from Hassan Maureen and they're usually good copies.
We've had the odd one the doesn't work but he exchanges them for you

This year I vowed not to buy any as they were so hit and miss but i couldn't resiste Harry Potter but it has stopped half way through!

Have you tried them on a PC, pc dvd software is better than DVD players. I can burn a dvd and it not work on anything but my PC.

I always fall asleep half way through a film anyway so it sorta doesnt matter with me  he he

We bought a fair few this holiday and all of them play. The only problem with a few of them is that you can't turn the turkish subtitles off which you can with most of the others.
But they're fine for 2YTL!

You can buy the latest DVD's in the UK for less than 2 quid ?

Always buy ours from the guy who comes around the Cafe Pazzar Sunday afternoon, one or two have died on us but he's always happy to exchange if there is a problem.

The quality of the DVD's do tend to vary though. The newer titles are either knock offs of preview DVD's so the quality is excelent, but you get the message "preview copy not for public viewing blah, blah" coming up, or are the "filmed by a man in the local cinema on his digicam" sort. The quality and sound on these being generaly poor and is also the reason they have Turkish subtitles that you can't turn off mentioned above:D.

Most of the "older" ie over a year old, DVD's in my experience have always been copies of original disks so always excelent.

That said, video piracy is a crime and you should not support it!
