DVDs delivered - what a f*ck up

Oh, for goodness sake.

They've made disk 1 into a DVD-ROM with a huge IMG file on it.

They've promised that anyone who buys the DVD at the show (there will be a form for people to give their address) will receive a replacement disk 1 (and a new case) ASAP, and they'll pick up the DVDs and repackage them and replace them before I do the preorders.

Ok, they shipped (standard delivery) with another company, so they should be here between 2 and 3 today (3 and 4 CET). I've been told they're on the lorry, and on their way. Honestly, the DVDs arriving an hour before I'm due to leave.... it had to happen that way didn't it?

Panic over... nothing to see here....

Are they arriving with the inlays in, etc.. or do you want a hand doing that.

They're arriving fully packed, but I will be bringing up 100 sleeves to hand round during rehearsal to sign for the preorders over the course of the day. Anyone who participated should sign

But you're the STAR!

Perhaps you can sign them 10 at a time over the course of the day?

Now, this is the typical Murphy's Law situation kicking in.

There will be DVDs there: the duplicators will have to ship people a new disk 1 later.

Ya gotta be kidding me!
I take it! the replacement DVD #1 will also have the art on the disc too?
WHAT MORONS!

I'm sure you took your copy Chris, to the event and played it anyway?

He did indeed. And the footage looked very nice. Even if the pressing people managed to f*ck up disc 1. Just tried opening the IMG file using DVDShrink on Waz' PC and it played just fine, so until the replacement shows up I'll burn the IMG properly for maximum viewing pleasure on the DVD player/widescreen telly/stereo setup in the living room. Yumyum, can't wait to sit through all of it.
