UmmiSays Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hi to All, So I just got the Magic School Bus 52 episode dvd collection. A good portion of the episodes are missing the background music. We can still watch them just fine, but it is a little wonky without the music and sound effects. Has anyone else had this problem or did I just receive a bad batch?

snowbeltmom Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 One of the reviewers on Amazon also had that problem with some of her DVD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Someone else on here reported hers were defective and she returned them. I've only seen episodes in disc 1. I am a bit worried though. I bought from barnes and noble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Bummer! I read that review on Amazon too. Sounds like they were the only one out of all the other reviewers there that had that problem....and now you. :glare: We have background music and sound effects. We are watching them in a row and we are on the 12th episode and the only problem we've had so far is with Hops Home. It plays about 1/3 of the episode and then skips all the way to the end. No matter what I have tried we can't get the rest of it to play. I have fingers crossed that the rest of the set doesn't give us any more problems. Sorry that yours is doing this. Do you have a 2nd dvd player that you can try it on, just to see? Edited August 19, 2012 by ~AprilMay~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Since it sounds like they aren't all like this in your set, could you give us the titles of some of them that are doing this so we could check? Like I said, we are going in a row...maybe you are skipping around and we just didn't get to those particular ones yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmmiSays Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Ok, they are playing properly on my computer. Also if I play the entire disc without selecting one episode at a time it will play properly on our main dvd player. Weird, but better than having to send them back. Also AprilMay, try Gets a Bright Idea on disc 5 just to test if that is missing sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewelma Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Bumping. Just sent my nephew the set for his birthday and really don't want my sister to have to return them when he opens them in October. Please keep us informed of what you find. Ruth in NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is really strange how it works properly on your computer or if you play all. I haven't been able to choose individual episodes because our remote & dvd player are so finicky...it won't let us move over on the screen to choose episodes. So we can only choose play all...but then we can skip ahead. So we skipped ahead on that disc and it plays just fine. Sorry if this wasn't much help.

Hunter Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 In the past I've watched videos on a playstation, but one tiny scratch and it wouldn't play. I find cheap CD players work better than a playstation, but not as well as a computer. I've never had an expensive CD player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
