They are supposed to ship replacements for the defective disc #1 of the Complete Downlink set.
Has anyone received it yet?

Do we have to individually request this replacement, Toe
Tag ? I've had the set for some time now, but have not
received a new disc # 1.

Are there other problems with
these DVDs? Apollo 11 ran great.

I just bought a copy from Best Buy of the new version of Apollo 8 put out by
Fox. All 3 DVDs work fine except for one little nit: while all of the
transmissions are broken up into a various number of chapters, I can't jump
to a particular chapter using my GoTo command.

I wonder if that was a problem with the original version put out by
Spacecraft Films?

....IIRC, one of the SF guys lurks around here on occasion, so I have
this question: are any of these DVDs being produced on double-density
DVD blanks? I'm finding that a lot of DVD players older than 2-3 years
have had problems playing DD disks along these lines - either they
don't play at all, or they play erratically and stop suddenly at the
same place each time. It's apparently a big problem with the latest
Bored of the Rings DVD, which went with DD disks this time around.

As far as I know they are supposed to be shipped automatically to customers who bought the original
set. But you should email them to make sure you are on the list. Their customer service is so-so.

I get trouble with STS 109 DVD (it struggles to play at all) and the Apollo
17 3 disc set are all unreliable.

The Gemini set are fine.

I'm disgusted by the service these guys give. They're pushed out
sub-standard products (not on content - on actual function) and are doing
nothing about it

They told me " no one else is having this problem." I wrote back and told
them to check out sci.space.history!!

I'm intrigued, do you have any problems with Apogee Books products?
