X2 full screen errors?
 

I get freezes and glitches on the full screen version of X2, at various places throughout the disc. I've tried with 3 different DVD players and 3 brand new discs, and get the same errors. They are not present on the widescreen version. Anyone else getting these errors?

Easy problem to solve. First, place the full-screen discs on a hard flat surface. Next, you'll need a sledgehammer. I'm sure you can find one around the house, or use some similar tool. Now, precision is key. You must smash both discs AT THE SAME TIME, otherwise you risk damaging your hard flat surface... That should do it. Let me know if it does not.

Well, first you're going to have to try to find someone else around here that bought the foolscreen version....best of luck to ya!

This one is easy. Just exchange it for the widescreen version. Problem solved.

Isn't "full screen errors" redunadant??

I smell a troll...

Ooooh.. pro-widescreen comments in a full screen thread. THE CREATIVITY FLOWS!!

-ohbfrank-

Hey look, the smart ass comment which always follows the pro-widescreen comments.

None of these comments, mine included, are productive.

-ohbfrank-

They still make full screen DVDs?

OMG WIDESCREEN IS SO SUPOERIORRR TO EVERYTHING.. FOOLSPCREEN JOE SIX PACK PAN AND SCAM WHEEEHEHRHEWR!!#

-ohbfrank-

Maybe he thunk that if he wanched the foolscreen version he would catch a glimpse of female flesh not seen in the widescreen edition. :rolleyes:

Another full screen related tragedy.

Its god telling you that Pan&Scan is bad...

I would call up Fox using the information in the store forum. This, according the facts you've presented, is no isolated error and therefore should be addressed.
(To get back on topic... the banana is the studio. The poor banana in front is the filmmakers when the studio releases a fullscreen version)

Any questions? ;)

I don't care who you are, that's funny!

Oh, and I agree with the first reply.

Best Thread Ever

The sad thing is the exact same responses would've been had if it were a full frame movie pan and scanned to widescreen.

How is that sad? No-one likes to see a film mangled. (I don't know how you pan&scan a 1.22:1 film to widescreen - I assume you mean cases like It, a TV-movie that was made anamorphic by matting it unjustly.)

Yes that's one example, Evil Dead is another.. people here seem to like WIDESCREEN.. period. They will claim OAR but they 98% don't even know what they're talking about.

That's a mighty broad brush you're painting with there... -rolleyes-

re: The X2 error - You ARE going to find very few to none on this board who picked up the full frame edition.

Jesus, that's just crazy enough to work!

No one deserves to be ridiculed for asking a legit question. Its no ones business what version of a dvd someone buys.

Bunch of retards the lot of you.

I would never purchase the full screen version. I had posted that from work earlier today. I work at a retail location that sells full and widescreen versions. Had a customer come in that just purchased the full screen version.

He was getting pixelation errors and frozen frames on both of his dvd players during certain parts of the movie, like you would normally get with a scratched or dirty disc. We tried it on 3 different brand DVD players in the store and got the same errors.

Opened up 2 brand new discs with the same errors. I was just suprised nobody else has reported this issue. Most likely because most people here wouldn't buy fullscreen either...

Well, take a big roll of black scotch tape, and tape the top and bottom of your TV screen, horizontally. Should solve problem.

Way to be helpful, guys. You might want to review the Threadcrapping guidelines sometime soon. Or do the threadcrapping rules only apply when its a position the forum all agrees on?

Damn my friend got full screen, hopefully it wont be that bad. I told him he should just take it back and exchange it but hes lazy.

Re: X2 full screen errors?
 

Let me be the FIRST to actually attempt to answer the question.

Since you're not the only one getting this problem with the full screen discs, it's probably a bad batch of just the full screen versions.

Try getting it at different stores (I know that may be tough if the store you originally bought it from won't give you an outright refund). Also, try playing the glitched DVD at the store you bought it from.

But, at least we know that X2 is in the 2.40:1 ratio (it says on the back). And that is its OAR.

Of course, many people make the mistake of saying that they'll be waiting for a widescreen version of Citizen Kane, Gone With The Wind, etc. :D

Nice, picking on the mentally challenged. ;)

Actually, reread my post.
