I received July issue today. As I was away I did not check the DVDs of June,2011 issue. Today I tried to open the DVDs of June and July, but they are not opening and the DVD player keeps on trying to access them. I tried this on two PCs, with same result. It seems either the replication process is poor or the quality of the DVDs used are not good? Please tell me what is the solution?

Hi,

I'm in desperate need of help here. Ordered & got shipped the June 2011 issue of digit with the 3 DVD's. But none of the DVD's worked. Sent a mail to them as suggested by one of the members in this forum, and they were very kind enough to send me replacement DVD's. Now none of these DVD's are also working ...

why is this ???? what do i do now ? Dont they do some quality check before shipping out the replacement DVD's atleast ? (if not the original discs that come with the magazine..)

Thanks !

Most of the links within the 'autorun flash page' of the disc do not work.. for eg., the "view" button for viewing the movie / game trailers do not work.. any ideas ?

Heh Heh.... dump that GUI for the cd/dvd,

manually go to the folders and play by right clicking on it..... that is much better.

Hmmm.. so does that mean the GUI is simply not meant to work ? I thought it must be a plugin issue or something with me..!

Developers.. . r u listening ?!!

Is this to do with the June 2011 issue ?

Make sure that your DVD drive supports DVD +/- DL dual layer discs!! atleast that worked for me..

check it with nero drive info tool or it should be written on your drive's box itself..

or just google your model number for dual layer disc support..

hmmmmm

(Offtopic post just to help him)

if it is still not working!

Try the following:

1. Wash the Digit DVD with cold water . Dry it with a soft towel (You can put it is shade out side in your home garden to dry, but avoid direct sunlight.)

2. Now check if this works. If not goto step 3

3. Open up your DVD drive and with a soft cloth clean the lens using camera lens cleaning liquid (you can get it in any camera shop)

4. Now try the digit dvd.

Hope it helps!

P.S : If this does not work, open a separate thread in this forum for further support/help from us.
