Help with the Toy Story Boxset!

Well, this may seem quite obvious, but I`m completely confused...

On the 3rd disc of the boxset, ie the Bonus Disc, right at the beginning it lets you choose either the special features for Toy Story, or Toy Story 2. Only problem is, I can only click on Toy Story`s TV Screen, and not Toy Story 2`s, it just won`t let me. I have no idea why.....

Anyone have any ideas!

Thanks!

Count yourself lucky! For most of us poor bastards who forked out £40 for the three disk set, disk three doesn`t work at all - just plays the intro and then locks up. You can access the TS2 content by using your remote`s goto command and selecting titles 50-99 (TS1 is titles 1-49)

really?? That really sucks. Did the publishers know about this? Surely you should be able to get a refund / exchange?

The only other DVD I`ve had problems with is the The Terminator, disc one just refuses to play unless I use the software on my PC......

It`s a case of Disney doing what the hell they like. If you pick your box up, go on, doit now. Have a look at where the DVD Video logo should be. Now take a closer look. You`ll see it actually says Disney DVD. Basically by them ommiting the DVD Video logo, it means they do not have a requirement to conform to the DVD standard that all other disks have to. They have, in effect, invented a new format which is loosly based on the DVD Video one. But it`s different enough that they can slap their own logo on in. Hence countless problems people have with numerous Disney DVD`s.

Heh, Disney has always stood for rip off prices, excessive commercialism and facism.

For some reason, Toy Story box set and Gladiator both Region 1 work on my Wharfedale DVD 750 (3rd gen.) perfectly. I think it`s only R2 that cause the buffer problem in DVD players.
