Devo Live 1980 DVD - out of synch

[f-erenc szabo]

The audio on the Devo Live 1980 DVD is a few
frames later than the video. It makes the whole
think a lot less visceral, since so many of the
stage antics are very precise rhythmically.

I'm not sure if I should return this for a refund
and get an fixed copy if such a thing exists.

Anybody else get a copy like this?

Someone said the same thing in an Amazon.com review, then many other
people said it was fine. My copy plays fine in my player, but I'd
suspect it's more a matter of the DualDisc being "buggy" in certain
players rather than a "defective" copy.

Everyone now: "She's out of sync, she's a half-step behind..."

My copy plays OK. But I have several movies that do the same thing.

Me thinks its due to having th e$89.99 Walmart Special DVD player, as
well as having a DV to RF Converter in line to my pre Digital Ready TV.

Probably the player. RF Converter shouldn't affect sync, just quality.

Mine does it, too, as does the Live 1996 DVD. Strangely enough,
though, the Dove bonus videos are perfectly in sync.
