Anyone else having trouble with their copy of what was a fine product until it got up to the Dial-A-Joke chapter. The thing locked up my DVD player twice by the time it got to the Apple II chapter and wouldn't play any further. Just kept locking me up. I thought I'd ask around a little before I contact Syndicomm to complain.

Older players seem to have problems with computer made DVDs such as the Keynote DVD. I have had similar problems with Call-APPLE's Woz DVD and Tony Diaz's DVD-Romulan. My DVD player just wasn't designed to play them. Mark R. Percival - RTC Host - Syndicomm Online Apple II Forum "Midweek Madness!"

I also can't read it on my DVD drive on the computer. How do you explain that? Sorry, if I can read 1000 DVDs on my player and not this, then it's this, not the player. True, it may not be able to read this disk, so make the disk so that it can play it. I just don't buy it. I paid my money, I expect to be able to play this thing. Agreed?

I was given this DVD to review for the membership of the Princeton Apple User Group. I experienced constant sound drop-outs but was reluctant to mention the problem here because I've only used the DVD player about three times. I'm going to take the DVD to a friend's house to see if the same problem occurs there. Willi
