So I bought the complete 10 season set... the case is aweful, I tried playing them in 5 different dvd players and couldn't get anything! The only thing I have that will play them is my playstation. What's even worse then that is that every player I've tried them in now disc errors everything I put in them! I don't know how that's possible but if anyonelse has had this problem, please let me know!

Sounds like you've bought the wrong region DVD's. Where do you live, and what region are the DVD's you bought? -
And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now... the clock is striking Twelve's.

if youve bought the wrong region (England is region 2) then you need a multi-regional player, if your in England Curry's do a good one for £20sigpicComment

I hate how the first 3 seasons look so grainy like watching it on VHS.
PS. check Videohelp.com and look up one of your DVD player model numbers to see if it has a region hack. usually you update the firmware or punch in a code on the remote control.

Where did you purchase them from? Was it from a buyer on ebay or Amazon? You should check to see what region they are. Example: If you are in North America and bought them from Europe the regions are different so they won't play in your DVD players. Also check if they aren't pirated copies.
Also if they are clashing regions, there are ways to set some DVD players to play ALL region DVDs.sigpicComment

I got one of those Philips DVP 5000 series models which isn't the greatest quality but it has a lot of features and one of them is a simple code to punch in on the remote to play any region disc.
to be honest I thought about saying "yeah VHS would look worse" but the Space Channel which isn't HD plays the first 3 seasons on a regular basis and although they look dull and washed out they are not grainy at all.
someone told me it's because they filmed the first 3 seasons with 16mm film and in season 4 they started filming with 35mm film and Season 8 they started using HD. when the the 16mm film is transferred to DVD it creates that grain effect?
I haven't watched the Children of the Gods final cut since it came out but Wright must of cleaned it up because I remember it looking better so it be great if they release a new box set in the future.

I don't know about your countries, but here we've most of the players with the multiregion playback by default, i.e. no codes punching in or else. And I heard not about a single case when pirate copy would refuse to play...
On the other hand, all computer DVD drives are regional, and I had jammed it badly couple of times.

Thanks everyone,
I bought the complete series from HMV in Ottawa Onatrio (where I reside)... I've looked at all the included material and it says only for distribition in the US and Canada. Being that I live in the capital of Canada, I would think these movies should play for me... any other ideas or options would be appreciated....Comment
