Page 1 of crouching tiger problem - help?

Hi,

I just got Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon on import and while I can play the movie, I have real problems with the extra features.

The directors commentary cannot be accessed - on trying to select it, the option is just skipped over.

Also, when trying to change audio and subtitle settings, it is pot luck if you can actually get to the required screen. Usually, on selecting the option, the screen appears but then just skips back a screen.

Just to make matters worse, the black borders on the widescreen format are extremely weird. You have the normal black borders, but within these are two even blacker bars, that tend to expand and contract.

The player is a Bush 102.

Just wondering if anyone has seen anything like this and if there is a workround?

Cheers,

John.

Ive just watched the same film on my LG 3200E + had no problems at all with what you have mentioned... my disc is a region 0 disc dont know if yours is the same ??

I have the same problem but not as bad the only thing i dont get is the trailer of the movie it just wont play it at all mines is R3

This sounds like you have a Silver Copy of the film, directors commentary and other features are normaly dropped to fit it on a single sided disk. Where did you get it from?

Cheers,

From an aution on the QXL site.

How would I tell if its a "silver" copy and does that mean I have bought a fake :-)

It looks like an original, as far as I can see - not that I`d really know :-)

Be very careful with QXL - I nearly got stung by someone offering a R0 DVD of CTHD there. Apparently if it has DD150 stamped on the disc it`s a duffer !!!

Some bloke on there sells 100 every week (Steve something) - tell me they ain`t fakes ?

Hi again mines got DD155 stamped on mine ... mine was sealed when i received mine.... region 0 + like i said ive had no problems at all with mine, (extras, trailer etc) everything plays fine + if mines a copy its the best copied disc ive ever seen the picture + sound are really crisp ... i got a copy of Hannibal which was quite bad so ive seen pirate discs.. you`ve gotta be carefull .. you`ll have everyone looking at their C.T.H.D discs now for the stamp in the middle ...lol

Hi... I just "won" 3 copies from QXL... they are from the guy that sells 100... has anyone bought any of these copies from him? If so, what`s the score... I`ve been waiting a long time to get an affordable copy of the movie after a stupidly long wait at Movietyme etc. Please let me know if I should buy these copies or write them off and wait for Region1?

Hi crabsticks.. i got mine from yahoo auctions still sealed brand new disc .. dont know about the guy from QXL that sounds dodgy to me it sounds like they will be copys if so they wont be very good ...theres a few people from asia on yahoo selling genuine sealed discs for £10.00 + £3.00 ish p+p that seems like a better bet to me ..

I got mine from Coolashop (Hong Kong online store) just before the distributors decided to take off the English subtitles.
Everything works, the film the extras

anyone want to make me an offer for it?
