I hate double-sided discs
« on: October 07, 2007, 09:09:13 PM »
These cheap bastards who are unwilling to spend a few more cents on packaging! Yesterday I got "Space: Above And Beyond". Just inserted the first disc and know what? Double-Sided.  >:( >:( >:(

I am carful with my DVDs but with them you have to be way to careful. Just inserting them into a notebook DVD drive is an adventure since you have very little space to press onto.

And my german "Emergency Room" discs are so thick that the DVD drive (it's a slot drive) on my MacMini cannot eject them fully. They get stuck and I have to pull them out. But where to touch???

Did I already say I hate them?

Personally, while I don't like them, I don't mind them either. Gotta admit though I don't have to play them in any slot loading device, or a notebook type (hubbed?) device. All are tray loaded so it ain't too bad.

But yeah, given a choice, give me two discs. Can't be all that much more expensive!

While I don't play them on my NB, it's the only Windows computer I have and on that runs DVDP.

Hubbed? Do you mean that? If yes, that's what I meant, too. if no, I meant that. ;)

Probably not even the right name for it, but yeah that's what I meant too.

I to dislike the double sided discs. Many of my TV shows have them.

One thing I don't like is I can't see the writing to see which side is supposed to be up (stupid old eyeballs  :-\ )


OT - One point awarded to Karsten for nice use of the thread icon  :laugh:
