Page 1 of DONNIE DARKO

Mydvdr 880 plays all disc i have tried except one, That one is DONNIE DARKO , i bought it from Tesco about 4 weeks ago but only got round to watching it last night, it failed to play and on closer inspection there were a few scratches on the disc so it was returned and exchanged for a brand new sealed undamaged copy, but alas this also fails to be recognised buy the player . The 880 doesnt seem to recognise the disc.it does try to read it but fails and display shows `NO DISC` , every other disc i have works fine , even the new ones i have never watched before., Please somebody tell me i am not insane, The only difference i can san see on the outer cover is that the donnie darko dvd have a macrovision symbol on the back, but i thought most discs had macro nowadays.

it won`t be the macro, it`s posible that the machine simply does`nt like the disc i have somewere between 400 to 500 original dvd`s and have yet to find 1 machine that plays every one properly.
to test this we need somone else who has the same machine with the same firmware, and also the same machine with different firmware to see if any of the machines can play the disc, hopefully this may lead to a solution. phelings. to the rescue maybe

If anyone you know happens to have an R1 copy you could try that as a test (assuming you have a multiregion player) as it could be the curse of Gladiator strikes again with the UK company producing a disc that requires too much memory.
Afterall the DVD standard is a loose description that can be casually ignored by various outfits e.g Disney

I think your player is doing you a favour by not playing it.

care to develop your arguement on your dislike for the film?

Donnie darko is an excellent film, bit of a head shacker, but still very good.
