Hi Sara

I received my DVD on Saturday, delivered with a postal delivery confirmation slip and a letter inside informing me of how to get the DVD with the chapter headings, etc. However, the delivery date for those is now "to be determined", and are probably down the priority list for completion.

My disc is about the same as a VHS, only in DVD format. It scrolls when using a DVD player or DVD player with a television. On Windows Media Player, I am unable to scroll. On Real Player, I am unable to scroll. On my DVD player software, PowerDVD I am able to scroll.

Have you tried your disc in other devices, or just your computer, and have you tried different types of software?

Cheers!

Larry

Got my DVD as well today. I watched it on my DVD player as opposed to my computer, and there wasn't any problem forwarding or rewinding. Is it an option for you to watch it on a stand alone DVD player? If not, I may be able to help you transfer it to another format which you can watch easier on a computer. Let me know if you need help.

I just saw my DVD, and it is scrollable in my Samsung DVD/VCR combo. So all is well.

AdultPairSkater, thanks for the tip re the various media playing software, as I have all three of the apps you mention.

I have only tried it on my computer, not a DVD player to a TV.

I still didn't get the letter - which email did they list to contact to get on the list of folks who want the "bells and whistles" version eventually??

Adult Nationals DVDs

Hi, this is my first time posting so I'm sorry if I do this wrong.

Just wanted to let ppl know that my DVD came at noon today.
(I'm in the Detroit MI area.)

Can't wait to watch it and I hope there is the letter with my DVD so I can get the Menu Driven one regardless of how long it may be.

Scrolling AN DVDs

Our DVD recorders put in random chapters at 10 minute intervals when we do a straight dub as we did on the ones we sent out to you. We put a letter in with each DVD we sent out (or I thought we did) requesting those who wanted the chaptered DVDs to e-mail us. We are still working diligently on those. Thank for your patience.

I just received my second copy today, it really had the bells and whistles. The dvd had a dramatic opening, featuring, clips of the Pairs champion, last year master's men gold medallist, and this year's - Davin, Ice Dancers (i forgot the name), an interp skater with a kite.

These features offered to play all and play in sections

DVDs

Hello

I also received the "Nationals Quality" DVD with the lead-in video clips and olympic-style music for the main menu, and I have to tell you, I laughed, laughed right out loud, (and laughed some more) at the pseudo-Wide World of Sports introduction script lauding us all for being adult skaters "going for the gold", culminating in the dramatic view of the Chicago skyline with a musical flourish.

While certainly the most elaborate DVD I have received, I am really no more impressed with this than the DVD I received initially with the scrolled listing of competitors names, except for the laugh factor.

I genuinely had a good laugh at the introduction/lead-in which was trying so hard to impress and taking things far too seriously. For those who like and want this sort of thing, I am glad it is available. However, for my own personal taste and needs as an athlete, it's way too much fluff, something I will always fast-forward past and not something I would deliberately purchase and pay extra for if given the option. I personally prefer the streamlined version, which is what I will always order if given the choice.

Cheers!

Larry

p.s. The clips were of Brooks Jones, Paul & Michelle Harvath, the Championship Pair (Colleen & Bill) and Davin Grinstaff. I do not know who performed flying a kite.

Hey, that's very encouraging! I was figuring I might get mine by AN 2008, but now maybe I'll be a little more optimistic.
