Member mark187 Posted February 17, 2012 Member Share Posted February 17, 2012 this was discussed in the past on Asiandvdguide, but I figured I'd bring up the issue here, to see who else has experienced problems. the culprits I've noticed are the Mei Ah dvds of Dragon Squad, People's Hero, My Heart is that Eternal Rose, and Angel. certain players do not play these properly. they originally worked on my my old R1 Toshiba, and my region free Toshiba, then later I experienced problems with all of them on both. played fine on my old xbox, not on my new one. all work fine on my Sony R1 player though. anyone else problems with these or other Mei Ah dvds, and what players did you get them to work on? I'm wondering if there's any way to get them to work again on my region free (it's part of a surround sound system) since they worked in the past, but no longer do.

Member spannick Posted February 17, 2012 Member Share Posted February 17, 2012 they're all broken, mine too. if you're lucky you can rip them with your computer and reburn them fresh and playable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mark187 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Member Share Posted February 17, 2012 have you ever tried playing them on multiple players? haven't experienced a problem with one of them yet on my Sony, but they seem to not work well with the Toshibas. like I said, they also played fine on my old original white Xbox 360, but not on my new black Xbox 360 slim I think it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted February 18, 2012 Member Share Posted February 18, 2012 What would cause this issue, Spannick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member spannick Posted February 19, 2012 Member Share Posted February 19, 2012 bad pressings are the Reasons for that. nothing you can do. MY HEART IS THAT ETERNAL ROSE was so damaged i could not rip it. I downloaded it on a torrent site to have the Movie i paid for in a Version i could play again.

Member The Silver Fox Posted February 19, 2012 Member Share Posted February 19, 2012 I've had issues with some Mei Ah discs. My theory(and I could be completely off with this)is the problem lies in how the discs are authored and/or/ where they were getting pressed . It seems like they've addressed the problem but I am always cautious when I buy Mei Ah stuff and try to dig around for dvd reviews before purchase. Mei Ah discs that were problematic: Snake in the Eagle's Shadow-nice slipcover,correct aspect ratio,multiple language options,original audio etc. If only the disc would play...the disc has a weird film on it and what look like embedded fingerprints! even my computer has a hard time reading this disaster. I bought it from DDD House but I didn't actually take it out of the plastic for like a year - so by the time I got around to checking it out it was too late to ask for exchange. The 18 Bronzemen-pixels and freezes halfway through same deal as above except the disc looks perfectly fine and plays easily on computer, purchased from HKFlix RIP. Dance of the Drunk Mantis-plays fine but the disc looks really rough on the data side,like somebody took some sandpaper to it. I'm picky about stuff like that especially a new dvd that looks all beat up. Mei Ah Discs that I purchased that are problem free(at least for me): The Butterfly Murders The Kung Fu Cult Master The 36 Deadly Styles Iron Angels 8 Taels of Gold (VCD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Killer Meteor Posted April 7, 2012 Member Share Posted April 7, 2012 My Mei Ah World Of Drunken Master played fine, shame the transfer is lousy, as are all their Joseph Kuo releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member blue_skies Posted April 8, 2012 Member Share Posted April 8, 2012 I can't remember if it was Mei Ah but I know I had a region three Hong Kong release of Bullet-proof Monk that had lots of freezing problems, was replaced about three times before I gave up on it.
