"FWIW, Netflix has just added Battlestar Galactica: Season 4: "Razor Parts 1 & 2" as a separate IW entry. Hopefully that'll solve any problems."

Split formats!

Like many others, I made the choice for streaming when Netflix decided to double the monthly fee. I have been extremely disappointed with the selection of features. Each time I hear about a movie I…Continue

Skeetorius replied to JediWoman's discussion 'Split formats!'"HULU PLUS PEOPLE. Sorry to say it but the missing episode is on there. Use your free one week trial to watch the missing netflix stuff. Its an absolute joke and almost deserving of a class action law suit. I am not a sue…"
Knaldskalle replied to JediWoman's discussion 'Split formats!'"Frack! I wouldn't be surprised if that messes up on "devices". I've watched the first 3 seasons, so Razor was next in line for me. I guess I'll give it a try today or tomorrow and see what happens on my Roku."
thatboy replied to JediWoman's discussion 'Split formats!'"Well, there's something really weird going on there, I'll grant you that. True, I haven't watched BG, but I did just go to the ep in question to check it out. As soon as it starts, it indicates it's 87 min.…"
JediWoman replied to JediWoman's discussion 'Split formats!'"Apologies to both Knalds and thatboy BUT I did watch the all of the episodes. As I said in my initial post, Season 4, Episode 1 ends in a cliffhanger. That NEVER gets resolved as Season 4 picks up with Episode 3, with NO resolution to the…"
thatboy replied to JediWoman's discussion 'Split formats!'"Good work, Knalds! I've seen that happen on other series, and it was exactly what you describe."
Knaldskalle replied to JediWoman's discussion 'Split formats!'"Erhm, when I look at it, it seems to be Netflix' usual sloppy approach to describing their content accurately:
If you look at the runtimes, you'll see that "Razor" has a runtime of 87 minutes, while the remaining…"
JediWoman replied to JediWoman's discussion 'Split formats!'"As to my original question/comment... I can only go by what I heard from the Customer Service Rep... but the episode in question apparently was in their streaming video lineup. Neither the Rep nor her Supervisor could figure out why it was made…"
Spindaddydad replied to JediWoman's discussion 'Split formats!'"Then, sounds like you now have an answer to your original question and a full understanding of why some series are split between streaming and disc. Because of unavailable streaming rights, not cost, and not bait/switch.
And yes, the more streaming…"
JediWoman replied to JediWoman's discussion 'Split formats!'"Or at rates that you would consider paying. Hint: much more than 8 bucks a month.
Once again, many thanks for your points. It isn't a matter of consideration. I am on a fixed income now; it comes down to what I can afford. I no longer have…"
Spindaddydad replied to JediWoman's discussion 'Split formats!'"at rates that Netflix would consider profitable
Or at rates that you would consider paying. Hint: much more than 8 bucks a month.
if they ever hope to gain back the kind of customer satisfaction/goodwill they enjoyed before the disastrous business…"
JediWoman replied to JediWoman's discussion 'Split formats!'"Thank you, good point, but I would add something to your statement: Netflix is unable to get some episodes/seasons of a series at rates that Netflix would consider profitable. At some point Netflix will have to make some decisions if they…"
JediWoman replied to Nick's discussion 'Disparity between availability on DVD service and streaming'"I absolutely agree with you!! The thing is, I own lots of the older stuff already. I love black and white movies, esp. horror movies starring Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, et al. I watched ebay rather carefully and managed to snag many (legal) movie…"
Spindaddydad replied to JediWoman's discussion 'Split formats!'"Netflix is unable to get some episodes/seasons of a series dues to licensing rights for that particular episode for streaming. Usually has to do with music rights. They do not have to get the rights to offer it on DVD."
JediWoman replied to Nick's discussion 'Disparity between availability on DVD service and streaming'"Wow! Only 20? I think that more than 2/3 of my DVD list was not available on streaming. The selection is terrible to say the least. But I can truly say I cannot afford to do both. I keep hearing that Netflix wants to phase out their DVD format. If…"

I was surprised that I was able to add it in a larger sized movie viewer. You ever wonder how many oddball families and little groups there are out there. Maybe it's better that we never find out."
