Terrible DVD

You would be a first to have a problem that I am aware of, I've been on many different boards and have seen posts from hundreds of people who buy from Truckerflicks on a regular basis, and none have posted any problems at all, perhaps you have a malfunctioning or defective DVD player.

I own all of them, the Kinowelt, Cheezy Flicks, and Pacific Family Entertainment Convoy DVD's, personally they were all crap with the exception of Kinowelt, Pacific Family and Cheezy Flicks have a 1:85 aspect ratio, so it's almost full screen, Convoy was shot with a 2:35 aspect ratio, so it's a much thinner Widescreen than what you would normally find, however this is how it was filmed and how it was meant to be watched.. not stretched to 1:85 like the Cheezy Flicks DVD or cut off on the sides like the Pacific Family DVD, Also, Convoy was filmed with a Mono audio track, Cheezy and Pacific split the audio in two tracks to simulate a Stereo soundtrack, they did no digital remixing or cleaning up the audio at all, it's actually quite terrible on a nice system, Kinowelt digitally restored both the film print and the audio, and the film has a digital Mono soundtrack, which would be the closest thing you could ever get to the way it was supposed to sound in the theater, it was quite impressive if you have your sound system set up properly to gain the full effects of the sound. If you don't know what your doing and how to adjust your surround system for something with a digital mono track it would sound a bit low... in any case, you have a remote turn the volume up a bit.. it's what the volume button is for.

As far as the image being a bit dark, it wasn't on my 65 inch television, however all TV's and DVD players do not decode the same, and that can make differences in how a picture looks on different TV screens (just go to your local Best Buy and look at the TV screens that they usually have set up playing the same thing.. they don't always all look the same, because some decode the signal different than others. In any case, you have a menu selection for your TV and a selection for brightness, once again.. use it.. it's what it's there for.

I'm not sure about your problem with White Line Fever, perhaps it was just a defective disc, but more likely it's an incompatability with the brand of DVD player you have, I bought Whitle Line Fever from them and it works fine in all of my players (I have 6 different ones)The only complaint I had was that it wasn't Widescreen.. I can't stand to watch movies in Full Screen anymore.. it's so out dated, of course before DVD I had already made the switch to Laserdisc so I could get my films in Widescreen.... Full Screen is just plain crap.

Perhaps it's time for you to pick up a new DVD player, or perhaps you need to contact the manufacturer of your DVD player and see if there is a firmware upgrade you can get for it.. in this day and age they change the way DVD's are authored so much some players do have a hard time playing discs from certain companies.. that's why if you look at say a DVD from Disney they always have a phone number on the back so you can contact them if you have a problem with playback.. that way they can get the info on your DVD player and contact the manufacturer so they can try to fix the problem with the way their players decode the DVD's that way future players from that company will work properly.. in some cases the players manufacturer will issue a firmware upgrade to correct the problem, if no firmware upgrade is available then they have no way to fix it.. your best bet.. get rid of it.. sell it off to someone.. by a Pioneer DVD player.. you'll never have another problem

Sorry for the rant but it's really annoying seeing posts from people who really are ignorant as to the way things are "supposed" to be, especially when they clearly have no clue what they are talking about.. and in the process their post is only really meant to try and bash a good company like Truckrflicks.
