Disney dvds?  Well it is clear that you are living in a fantasy world.  You've just explained your problem.  Did you ever think that perhaps it is your breath that is cloudy up the discs?

Hi Brian!

Last time we spoke on the phone was when I had talked with Billy Gray, I wanted to add to the conversation about blotches on discs.  Speak with the other Brian and he will fill you in on the problem I had with FKB Season 2.  I have had the same problem with Sony's Season 1 of Hazel.  I have had to replace both FKB and Hazel - FKB Season 2 was replaced twice and Hazel Season 1 was replaced 3 times so far! And still are blotched!   What I am experiencing is creamy off-white blotching on the shiny surface of the discs.   I have found a thread on the Home Theater Forum about this and it seems to be a common happening from DADC discs.   Brian B told me he was able to clean it off a set he had there.  So far it does not seem to affect the playback of the discs.   I am looking into getting a automatic dvd cleaning machine that cleans discs and removes slight scratches they go fro about 30.00-35.00 but I do not know which is the best one to buy yet.   I wish SHOUT! could get answers from DADC if these discs will be no good eventually or if these blotches will not be a problem, DADC promised to get back to me but never did.

On you great release of MR MAGOO - I hope you will consider redoing discs three and four that have the "Charlie" character redubbed, I grew up with these cartoons and will not buy edited cartoons.  I realize it is not SHOUTS! fault, sadly Classic Media which has some great properties does not care about quality, all of their product should be restored, they have Lassie, Sgt Preston, The Lone Ranger, Skippy The Bush Kangaroo, Casper etc etc and the elements are deplorable!  I hope Underdog fares better!   I contacted Brian about some great images on Underdog I have of his Macy's Balloon depiction - I even have the balloon blueprint of the iconic balloon!  I also can put you in touch with Joe Harris who designed the character - if you are not already in touch with him!

Best regards and keep up the great work! 

Here's a heads up...stop breathing on your DVDs and stick them....in your player. You'll live longer and smile more often instead of typing in all caps.

I know what you are talking about and that is evident on so many of my DVDs from various distributors but has never impacted playback.  Weird how people come up with this stuff.

Happy Holidays...peace.

For "Hello Larry":

I don't know why people have a problem with typing upper-case characters ("caps") when writing something on-line?

I shall switch to them NOW, JUST SO YOU MAY SEE THE "END OF THE WORLD" IS NOT BROUGHT ABOUT FROM HITTING THE "CAPS LOCK" BUTTON OF ONE'S KEYBORD.

Of course, when typing acronyms, such as "CIA" or "FBI," the use of upper-case is much more distinctive than would be if one was to type such as "cia" or "fbi," or even "Cia" or "Fbi."

Who decided, perhaps arbitrarily, it is impermissable to type in the upper-case mode, that doing such implies anger, hostility, etc.? When was this rule adopted (and was I absent from the meeting the day that decision was made)?

It could well be some prefer the use of upper-case mode for emphasis. In any case, is there an actual law against this? If so, PLEASE ARREST ME.

And why wouldn't typing something like "!!! x 10," or typing characters all in boldface (or even in red boldface), be just as appropriate for connoting anger, hostiity, etc., as the use of upper-case characters?

Perhaps if profanity were more widely-acceptable in on-line dialogue, persons being able to express anger/hostility in real-life language, it would allow us all the free, uninhibited use of our "Caps Lock" buttons?

Maybe an emoticon of a smiley face giving the finger is needed?

Or if someone could create keyboard characters that displayed anger/hostility, in the manner of how  : )   is synonymous for a smiley face, that would be useful for situations where emoticons are unavailable.

These are just some thoughts on the subject, since you did raise it. Now don't go having a hissy fit and hitting YOUR "CAPS LOCK" BUTTON, IN ANGER AT ME.

Actually it is pretty universally accepted that all caps translates as yelling. You have to know what I'm taking about because you noted his tone was angry. However, I wouldn't take it so seriously jimmo.

Just a little humor and observation for some of the lunkheads who continue to flaunt their ignorance without consideration, etiquette, or manners on many of these boards when they don't get their way.

Ahhh...gotcha. I can't say that has happened to me but I've sure felt it was going to when those hubs are so tight.
