Birdguides DVD video guide to British Birds problem (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
I have very recently bough my first DVD player, and a copy of Birdguides DVD Guide to British Birds. The DVD plays OK on my PC, but on the DVD player both the sound and the pictures are erratic, with short gaps most noticeable in the commentary. Other DVDs play OK, so I don't think it is the player that is faulty, nor does the disc appear faulty as it is OK on my PC. Is it a compatability problem, or is there something else I should be aware of?

I’ve found it works better if you install it onto the hard drive. It’s one hell of a size but if you’ve got the space on your drive, it’s worth it.

Its about 3 Gig, I know cos I've just put it on my laptop, (new toy), it certainly sounds better than on my very old PC.

Yes, it’s a whopper, that is true but it certainly does run sweeter off the hard drive than it ever does off a DVD reader.
