I'm very happy for the music being right, but the leap-out thing still bugs me. Now I'll have to think long and hard about buying this set.

It doesn't really bother me all that much either. As I've said in the past, I think if Universal would have had the foresight to put some kind of disclaimer somewhere on the actual set explaining the leap-out discrepancies, it would alleviate SO much confusion for the newer fans who never saw QL during its original NBC run. It's not that hard to do... just type out a sentence or two explaining why some episodes loop back to repeats, and place that text in a box somewhere on either the outside or inside of whatever document template is being used to put together the DVD sets (presumably QuarkXPress or something similar). But alas, as does often seem to be the case, we the fans often seem to have much more common sense than the monkey-butts in charge. Oh well... :rolleyesBlueSovereign said:I know its irritating to have the leap-outs connecting with previously aired episodes, but from my view having them on DVD and knowing that they are in order anyway is good enough for me. It does feel weird to see some of the endings of S2 looping back to S1 and this would really confuse me if these were aired on TV. It would be nice to have the leap-outs re-edited to the next episode in the set though. I'm not going to let this stop me getting the sets though as I think I would regret it later in life if I didn't - if this is the only QL set production they are ever going to do.
alsplacebartender said:I'll have some pictures and info on the Season Two page now! I am hoping to get some screenaps of the menus since they are different as well, but my region-free DVD player just crapped out so I'll have to get it fixed or get a new one. Might be a few days or even a couple weeks depending.
QL Nut said:Those region-free players apparently don't seem to be too reliable, though. :\ Was that a used or brand new one, Brian?
Yep, that's exactly what that is. Normally at the end of each episode they show Sam leaping from whoever he was in that episode, into who he is going to be in the next episode, but on the DVDs these are all mixed up so at the end of one episode he may leap into one person, but in the next episode he has leaped into someone totally different. This is because when Quantum Leap was shown on TV they sometimes mixed the episodes up, and so the DVD leap-outs are in the mixed up order they episodes were originally shown in, but the episodes themselves are in the order they were supposed to be in, without being all mixed up. I've probably made you more confused I'm sure.Samantha_Beckett said:I'm planning to buy the DVDs this weekend, but I have to admit that I am EXTREMELY confused right now. What are you talking about the out-of-order leap outs (if thats what it is)? It's not like he leaps out and into whoever's in the next ep?
Because of problems with copyright etc the US versions of the DVDs have the music all changed. So, like, instead of having Georgia on my Mind at the end if MIA, they had some totally generic sounding song because they couldn't get the rights to put Georgia on my Mind on the DVDs. The UK DVDs don't have this problem because the copyrights are different in the UK.Samantha_Beckett said:I'm also confused about the music editing thing.
Yep, there is a pretty big difference in terms of music at least. And there really isn't anyway to transfer your UK DVDs to your US system. You can play them in the US, but you need to have a multi-region DVD player *plus* a PAL compatible TV (PAL is the TV system that the UK and Australia too, use. The US TV system is called NTSC). Copyright doesn't come into that at all.Samantha_Beckett said:Also...so there's a difference between the UK dvds and the US ones I'm about to get? There isn't any way for me to get the UK dvds and have then kinda like transferred to the US system? I don't understand all the technical stuff. Copywrite issues may come up.
S-10 said:Actually, Wal-Mart has players that convert PAL to NTSC, and that can be hacked to region free for around 30-40 bucks. No need for another TV.

S-10 said:That region-free complete set is a bootleg. Save your money for the real deal.
Samantha_Beckett said:So, on the American DVDs, Georgia on my Mind doesn't play, even tho it did when it aired here?
Samantha_Beckett said:Just as long as the episodes are in original order, that's all I really care about. I at least understand that, right? LOL.
Al's Cigar said:I already made a post earlier in this thread about the DVD players and listed some examples.
All the 'Zone Free' DVD players bought from amazon.com should covert PAL to NTSC.
McDuck said:Specific players please? I work at an electronics retailer and would love to be able to get one for myself....

QL_NUT: Exactly.
Samantha_Beckett said:That's cheap!!! That really sucks!
McDuck said:I know you did, but I was curious about which ones at Wal-Mart he was talking about....b/c the ones Amazon carries we don't, so I can't get them with my employee discount.... <wg>
A hidden menu will appear allowing you to select the region of your choice--0 thru 9. 0 is multi-regional, but keep in mind that some R1 dvds may not play on anything but the region 1 setting--I plan to switch between R1 and R2.
After selecting your region, power the player off, then back on--your changes should be in effect.
