I just took the chance in writing as mentioned in the previous posts, btw haven't opened yet my BTTF boxset containing the wrong discs, just curious, is there really a problem with the discs...?

There was a problem with the framing of BTTF 2 & 3 for the first batches of discs released...  I actually compared V1 (uncorrected version) with the V2 discs (corrected version) when i got them...  at first i thought that i wouldn't notice them since 21" TV lang yung ginagamit ko...  pero kitang-kita talaga na mali yung pagka-frame nung scene sa BTTF2 near the start of the movie when Marty was just trying on the jacket so that he'd look like his own son...  Kitang kita na iba talaga yung pagka-frame dun sa V1 compared sa V2... i believe there are links to those screenshots sa previous pages ng thread na to...  If you're going to check your disc, it's around the 20:00 to 25:00 minute mark ata...  sorry, can't remember the exact minute nung scene...

I can say that their customer service at Universal Studios/Alliance Atlantis Video is excellent considering that they also served international customers.  In addition, they didn't even require international customers to mail their defective discs.

I must say i was pleasantly surprised at how fast and easy it was to get my replacement discs...  when i first got the set and heard about the problem, i just thought that i'd just have to live with the fact that i bought a defective item, since i'm living in an R3 region, yet bought an R1 disc...  i'm glad they replaced our discs as well...

Sana, huwag maisipan ng mga mauutak na kababayan natin na abusuhin ang ganitong serbisyo.

Yup...  My thoughts exactly...

You may want to go to this site for more information about what's wrong with the first batch of the BTTF boxed set.

They must have noticed that a lot of international customers have been requesting for replacements.  I'm sure that a lot of those asking for replacements are not really V2 owners, considering that the process does not require the return of the defective discs.  This was what I was afraid of, as I've stated in an earlier post.  Fortunately, I was able to get my replacements before they changed their procedure.

The following came from the Home Theater Forum thread on the Back to the Future framing problem:

According to Universal, the new packaging has a "V2" printed near the bottom of the screen format/bar code sticker. This will indicate that the set contains the remastered versions of BTTF II and BTTF III. The same "V2" will also appear on the new discs after the copyright language line.

So short answer: there is a small "V2" stamped on a barcode sticker placed on the back of the packages, as well as being stamped on the discs themselves.

It has been confirmed that on replacement discs mailed from Universal the V2 is on the bottom of the disc right after "All Rights Reserved" as seen here:



So far no one has seen V2 in retail boxes, so no one has confirmed the markings on the packages. NO scans of the V2 boxes are available yet as none have appeared in retail stores.[/i]

OH NO! a new policy again??? ???  ??? this is what i got from melissa just now  :(
Hi L****,

I apologize as it seems our procedure must change once again.  After looking into this, we discovered that we cannot send prepaid envelopes to international customers.  If you have your online receipt, please forward this to me and I will send you the corrected discs.  If you cannot supply this, you will have to send the discs back at your own expense.
 
Our shipping address is:

Back to the Future replacements
Attn: Melissa McGee
2450 Victoria Park Ave.
Toronto, ON, Canada
M2J 4A2
 
Once again, my apologies for the confusion.
 
Best Regards,

Why? What was wrong with your first disc, anyway?

Looks like dni and I are the unfortunate two among all those on this forum who originally asked Melissa for replacements...  :'(

Try mo rin pumunta sa post office nyo. Baka matagal nang dumating yung discs mo.

dni

Pinakuha ko lang sa cousin ko.  Last time kasi na may dumating na package ako, mahigit 1 month na di pa rin dumadating sa akin.  Yun pala 3 weeks na sa post office namin.  Tamad kasi magdala ng notice yung mga mailman dito. >:(

After complaining to CrUzSACK just yesterday that my replacement discs NEVER arrived, I received a postal notice today, and picked the replacement discs up at the post-office, no taxes due.

Almost 4 months since I emailed Melissa! Still, they're here, they're free, so I can't complain.

Has your copy arrived already, dni?

Heheheh.  Pinare-route ko yung replacement copy mo, then tinago ko for four months. Eh, na-guilty ako kahapon, so pinadala ko na. ;D Complain ka na rin sa akin, DNI baka bukas dumating rin yung copy mo. ;D

Back To The Future Trilogy DVD
« Reply #144 on: Sep 05, 2003 at 10:31 PM »
I was browsing the net and I saw that the widescreen edition was re released last Sept 2 due to the fact that the 2nd & 3rd discs have framing problems. I am considering buying from Amazon Canada but I am having seconds thoughts cos there might be a difference with its American counterpart.  Any additional info regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thank God I found this site.  You see I bought the Trilogy on the day i twas released more than a year ago in San Franciso.  It wasn't until I came back here in the Philippines that I found out about the framing errors.  I'm really a die hard fan of this trilogy so this is really a big deal for me.  I just want to ask if I can still return the defective discs at this time?  And if so, can you give me complete instructions on how to get the defective discs be replaced.  I would really appreciate a reply.  Thanks.

Thanx for the tip.  However I already read the new policy.  It seems that they are not accepting replacments anymore.  Sayang.  Anyways, do you know where I can find the v2 of the trilogy?  I prefer region 1  because I alreaddy bought the r3 and it said in the box that it was already the new version but when I palyed it, bttf 3 still had the misframing error.  I returned it already.
