Before the chat began, there were a few announcements and one important one was that Warners had secured the official DVD rights to all of King Features' Popeye cartoons. Warners will begin immediately on restoration work and they plan to release the first Popeye DVD set sometime next year.

Luckily, like you, I had all my questions asked by others. The continued non-movement on a release of the 1960s Batman series was the low-point for me. The combination of the Popeye announcement and Warners continued customer service efforts with their disc replacement programs was the highlight.

Charter Member Posts: 5,072 Group: Members Member #6 Joined: September 2, 2005	From the Warner Home Video chat Quote: another announcement on our end is we have a replacement disk program in place for Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol 2, Disc 4. The discs were incorrectly manufactured with some cartoons in the interlaced rather than the progressive format. We will provide you with info on how consumers can send in for replacement discs at no charge. Interlaced is the format used in most TVs. You actually only scan half the lines in an image then in a second pass you scan between the lines of the image. In progressive scan you scan all the lines in a single pass. Interlaced images are not as clear and can produce flicker in the image. You would only notice a difference in the DVD if you have a DVD player and TV supports progressive scan. I'd recommend getting the corrected disc any way as most new DVD plays support progressive scan and your next TV likely will.

When that replacement accouncement is made would someone please post it here as I generally do not visit those boards mentioned and I have the Warner Brothers Looney Tune vol. 2 set. Thanks Kan
