Dear Colleagues,
We recently ordered ShadowLight Productions' Explorations of the Shadow
World 10-disc set. Two of the discs are giving us problems -- the menus
are a mess. "The Wild Party" requires that you navigate a labyrinth of
menu extras and 'fast-forward' through content to stumble upon the main
program, and Mayadanawa simply does not allow you to select the main
program from the menu (reverts to dvd extras). I'm wondering if others
who've ordered this series have encountered the same problems. (We've
been told by the publisher that nothing is wrong with the dvds. We've
had more than one staff person look at each of these discs in different
models of DVD players, and I'm sure our patrons would have just as many
problems as we have had with them.)
Thanks in advance,

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
