Anyone else have problems with the DVD?


I got this from Netflix and couldn't get any audio. Only sound effects, music, etc. Basically I heard everything but what the characters were saying. I sent it back but had the same problem with the next copy I received. I get alot of movies from Netflix, and the only other time I had this same problem was about eight months ago with Cemetery High. Anyone know whats going on?

I purchased this DVD new just this past weekend. None of the problems you listed were apparent in my copy. The audio is fine.

The audio is on two channels. The dialogue is on one channel, and the music and sound effects are on the other. This is the way the movie was mixed. You either need to watch it in stereo, or if you don't have a stereo TV, you need to buy one of those splitters so you can plug both the red and white audio plugs into this thing that then combines them so you can plug it into a single RCA audio jack on your TV.
