Ok, so I took it out of the DVD Player and looked at it and it says it's a DVD and it is a Zone 0. So it should have played in my player. Bummer

Rocket, the DVD is in PAL format. Your player probably only plays the NTSC format used in the US. This is a seperate issue from the zone or region thing. You should be able to watch it on your computer if you have a DVD drive in it.

Congratz there nurvonic! still need to wait for mine!

[heyamigo]

yeah rocket, it should work fine on your PC DVD-ROM if you have one. anyways it's a lame video, doesn't really justify them including a whole DVD disc just for that. at least include MJ video, album covershoot video, or her studio recording videos in addition or something. i can only guess they were planning for something better but didn't have time or resource to.

Yeah, the funny thing is the whole content of the DVD weighs in at under 300 mb. They could have fit it on the CD.

Yeah, but it wouldn't have been on a DVD, so only people with a computer could have played it.

Is the CD really under 350 MB? Is it that short?

So, see if your player has an NTSC/PAL toggle somewhere in the setup menu. (If you supply the model number of the player, we can try to find it out.)

Won't most DVD players play any readable optical disc with complaint video on it? I know both of mine do. If I burn an mpeg2 and the proper file and index structure to a CD it plays just fine.

The CD contains 422 MB of data. The video is less than 300 megs, 271 to be precise. 693 MB total. It would fit.

Just to be ultra-pedantic, audio CDs have historically been 74 mins/650 megs (the blank ones became bigger at some point). I don't know whether audio CDs got bigger over the years too.

Actually I think that's an "additional" capability that a lot of DVD players do not have. If they want to make something that everyone (in France at least, not counting the NTSC crowd here) can play, then I think are safer to go with a DVD. And besides, it makes the "deluxe" edition look bigger .

Due to the higher volume of DVD production to CD production that exists now, it is actually cheaper to buy DVDs than CDs in any volume, both for burning and for pressing.
