Dual Disk problems

Venom · Post by **Venom** » 8/30/2005, 3:50 pm

Anyone else have an issue with their Dual Disk? I bought it at 7am this morning (even though I downloaded it weeks ago) and it won't fit into my CD player in my car. They are slightly thicker than a normal CD and I guess thats why. So since I only listen to disks in my car I had to give up the Dual Disk and get the CD. Anyone else have issues with it? They should have just released a double disk instead of this dual crap.

Weird, it fit in my mom's car's cd player just fine. And sounded wonderful might I add. :drool:

Toyota sound sytems = awesome.

I did have a problem with mine, though. On the DVD side, at the beginning of "Wipe That Smile Off Your Face" after about a second, and then again before "The World On A String" starts, it basically pauses... cept you can't just hit play to make it start again. You have to go back to the song menu and hit play again. :freak:

I've got a Sony DVD player, too, so it should work fine. I think I'm gonna tell the band tomorrow. :lol:

Our local cd store only stocked the regular cd, and I think I'm glad about that...I preordered an autographed dual disc, which I'm hoping means the booklet is autographed so I can watch the dvd part once...

When I first tried to eject HIPT (DualDisc) from my CD player in my Saturn, it got kind of stuck in the player. Usually the CD comes out about half way so you can grab it and pull it out. This came out just barely enough for me to get it out. The second time I played it in the car there was no problem. Both times it played fine though. I had a similar problem with my Nine Inch Nails DualDisc (With Teeth). Probably since it's a little thicker than a regular CD.

DualDisc will have problems in lots of non-sony brand CD players because the audio is not compliant with standard audio format.

i give up.

I had a problem with the dual disc in two different comps and one car system. Thankfully I can view the DVD part at home and ripped the audio to my ipod so no more worries.

Why is it thicker? Why can't they just have two discs?

Dual Disc must be cheaper than producing a DVD and a CD. That's the only reason I can see for Sony using this crap.

naseoj · Post by **naseoj** » 8/31/2005, 9:11 am

If they made two discs it would probably be a lot more expensive to buy.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 8/31/2005, 9:14 am

But it would actually work, so it would be worth it.

well sony does have a history of wanting everything original for itself. minidiscs par exemple. and if a product seems shnazzy and new, a customer will want to buy it.

i was dumb about the disc and thought that "CD This Side Up" meant that the side facing me was the side my cd player should read. ehhh! wrong. :roll:

Maybe nail polish remover would work. I managed to get mine off without much glue left behind; I did it verrrryy slowly :freak:
