Lasts months I ordered some Mei-Ah DVD's and VCD's.
I could play about 50% of the VCD's without out any problems, but the others had to be copied before I could play them.
One of them couldn't be copied, but, to my surprise, it could be played in a stand-alone DVD player.

Everybody (?) seems to have problems with the DVD of 'Sorrowful to a ghost' and today I recieved the DVD 'They came to rob Hong Kong' which couldn't be played or copied at all.
Wrong filesystem. CDFS instead of UDF.

Are there more people who got problems with Mei-Ah DVD's and VCD's?

I don't buy a lot of Mei Ah dvd anymore (I already own the old titles - and no problem to play the dvd).
I recently bought Dragon Squad and it doesn't play very well on my dvd (the sound is desynchronized and there is pixelisation from time to time) but it plays right on my PC dvd...

I don't own "Sorrowful to a ghost" and "They came to rob HK"...

Pieter,
I just bought quite a few Mei Ah titles, but never had any problems to play them (on DVD-player)...
Will keep you informed if I had any trouble...

That would be very kind of you.

On several forums about DVD you can read that the cheaper DVD-players have less problems with 'bad' disks, then the better ones..........
On my PC I have a Plextor (€120,-) and a Lite-on (€25,-).
Some DVD's that can't be played or copied on the Plextor, could be copied on the Lite-on! The other way round? Never!

A strange thing!

Well, I've got a very, very low price DVD-player, bought in 2000 in Germany in a "ALDI"-shop as of 49 Euros. One of those "No-Name trademark" to be released at that time. Never got any complaint about it, can read all zones...

Cheers !

probably because cheap dvd players are made of PC dvd player components and can read any kind of discs.
Other dvd player machines might be more sensitive to the disc surface, errors, etc...

Yup, on the Extras disc , the 'Making of' freezes at 6seconds!
