I just recieved my replacement dvd's and used LIC cardio premix. It kept freezing and stalling. Anyone have trouble with the replacements? I have a new tv [so that can't be the problem] and must add that I have used the original B&G w/ no problems. Funny that my first problem would be with the replacements. [I have never ever used the premix option on any video so maybe it's limited to that area???]
 
I have problems with Drill Max. I noticed Drill Max froze in Chapter 28 and the time was 45:22. !!! It couldn't have been a layer change because of the fact that it was right in the middle of the workout, ie. interupted a step. I didn't have a chance to check out my other new replacements. I guess I have to check each one of my new replcements! Belinda

I have a problem with BMax 2 during the power circuit section, but all of my other replacements seem fine.

The layer change point in Body Max2 is during the very beginining of Power Circuit 4. You will see a brief freeze and stutter. This is normal and not a defect.
 
SNM,
I know but mine is after 45 min. into the workout...it freezes at this point and then nothing for the rest of the workout. It only freezes in that one spot...not anywhere else.
 
That is exactly what happens at a layer change point. In Drill Max the layer change point is at the very beginning of Firewalkers (about 45:25). You will see a brief stutter. Again this is just the layer change point and is not defect.
 
The only new DVD I have tried was the cardio premix on LIC and my areas of concern are all in a step sequence. IE: were moving along in a sequence it stutters or freezes and I'm off a beat or two. Mine are not between segments.
 
Premixes are not edited video. They are simply a small computer script that tells your player what to play next. Freezes and glitches on some players are common. On some players premixes will not work at all. We figure about 5% of players will have at least some issues with a premix. In most cases like you mention you just need a player that has read ahead memory and a little more horsepower.
 
Ok, so after the step around the step, at 45:22 she is still martching in place at the freeze she says ok..it then freezes...and then she begins to talk about the Firewalkers. To me it seems a bit odd; however, if that is where the layer change it thats fine. I just thought I would ask. Especially, if the rest of my DVD's turn out fine. Thank you for your help. Belinda
 
DVD standards determine where a layer change must be. We have very little control of where the layer change point occurs. Sometimes we get lucky and the layer change point falls at a chapter point where there is as fade to black transition, while in other cases like Drill Max, there was no fade to black transition and thus you see the layer change.
 
Hmmm, OK. I have never tried the premixes before so I have no knowledge of their workings. Hopefully the regular workout is fine. I really enjoy Cathe workouts and the wonderful connection the customers feel with she and her staff. Thank you for the clarification.
 
It may be a layer change point, but mine is more than a "brief" freeze and stutter and it affects the flow of the workout. It's like someone paused the DVD for a few seconds and then presses play again.

The length of the stutter and freeze during a layer change will depend on your player. With a seamless player you will not even see it while other players the length will vary. In Body Max 2 the layer break is during an "8 count transition set up move" into the 4th Power Blast. You do the same move for 8 counts so once you know the layer change is there it really should not be much of a bother in the future.
