Beachbody BBL DVDs not playing

mcn333 · 09-18-21, 05:02 PM

I use an external DVD drive and all of my DVDs can be played except for the Beachbody Brazil Butt Lifts, which are some of my favorites. Has anyone had this issue? It looks like there's no way to access these anymore unless you subscribe to Beachbody, which is expensive.

I'm so bummed - Cardio Axe is my favorite go-to fun workout. In addition to trying to troubleshoot this, I'm also open to recommendations for comparable workouts.

Thanks!

Ebay has plenty of sets. If your discs don't work for some strange reason, I would just buy replacement dvds and see if those worked. HTH.

PS--do your other BeachBody dvds work? Any chance that your BBL might be a knock off?

do you have a friend who has a standard DVD player where you can test it on that type of machine?

it doesn't solve your problem, but at least you'll know it's playable on another machine.

I have 3 different dvd players (one is Blue Ray) and they can be kind of picky. A certain disc won't play on one, but will play on the others. Also look up instructions for gently cleaning discs. Make sure there is no dust or anything on them. That sometimes makes a difference.

Are the discs purple or silver on the underside? If they are purple on the underside, then they are likely knock-off dvd-r discs and those tend to degrade over time. However, I think I remember hearing about some fake/knock-off cathe discs back in the day that might have even been pressed (silver backed) dvds and the only way you could tell on those if they were official/real cathe's or not was by the little number/letter coding around the center hole.

In any case, sorry to hear some of your favorite discs aren't playing anymore.
