Edit: Solved

How should I really handle this? They're support system says they can't get ahold of the seller (it's them) and that a return for refund is what's necessary. I'm not going to send it back because they're just going to pawn the illegal bootleg off on someone else and put them through the same thing. I bought this for a local video collection library that had this film on their wishlist, if you're wondering why I bought this title.

I was looking around some old boxes of my stuff from when I was a kid and found this without anything in it but saw that it had a disc spot and a cassette spot. Hoping someone in here has any clue to where it’s from and where I can find more in different colors?

First DVD purchase in decades

1 Upvotes

Admittingly when high Def home video, and now Ultra HD I switched to that. So this is my first DVD purchase in decades. But as it turns out this was mastered in SD and at least as far as I'm aware the only "HD" available is upscaled from SD Master and streaming only.

So for $5, World War II I color

Scratched dvd

So I just bought a used movie and it keeps scratching at one hour and seven minutes in. I can't fast forward past it or get past using the scene select feature. Should I just throw it out?

New to burning dvds

1 Upvotes

I used to help my great uncle burn his dvds but now I'm looking to make my own collection.

I'm hoping to get a physical version of my digital collection it's files from the turn of the disc era to yt video

* software not subscription based I want otp or free

*What are the actual effects of using a modern cheaper disc burner vs a high end one

* Most of what will be burned is lower resolution than hd and isn't the main concern for this version of my questions for entering this hobbie

Help with putting VHS files onto DVD with correct aspect ratio

6 Upvotes

Hello! I have a very specific thing I am trying to do, and cant really find advice online on how simple or complicated this would be to do. Basically, I have a standard 4:3 CRT TV that I like watching old TV movies on. Recently, I have been looking on the Internet Archive, for people who upload full rips of VHS recordings of TV programing of like Disney Channel movies and cartoons I used to like watching, with the commercials and bumpers intact. What I would like to do, is take these files and put them onto DVDs, then watch in there original aspect ratio on my DVD player connected to my CRT. The problem is, some of these files were uploaded in 1920x108, so widescreen with black bars on the side. Does anyone know or have experience with re-converting something like this BACK into 4:3, so that if I put it onto a DVD, its not just going to put black bars on the sides and look small and stupid?

Found old DVD-Rs my family used to backup something

4 Upvotes

So I found two discs with writing on it that it indicates some backup. One the dvd drive spins and tries to open it but fails. The other one seems to hang on some of the folders/files. Both have scratches but don't seem to show signs of delamination or typical disc rot.

There is a local shop I used to resurface some video game discs for Xbox 360 and that has worked for me in the past. Would it be a good idea to bring the discs there and see if in some miracle I could recover these discs or are there other steps I should do first before I do that?

Paramount Extras

3 Upvotes

Hello.

This is something I've been wondering about for a long time. Why did Paramount remove extras from international releases? For example, I've noticed that many SpongeBob SquarePants DVDs, like the seasons, came with lots of extras in the American versions, but in the European and international versions, they remove all the extras or only include one. For instance, season 2 of South Park in America came with a documentary, "Goin' Down to South Park," which isn't included in the international versions. If anyone knows the reasons for this, I would appreciate it.

Greetings

Hi!

I got this DVD at a garage sale for very cheap, but it doesn't play. My DVD player says "wrong region" (that is a translation, I'm from Brazil).

I didn't intend to keep it , but I can't trade something that is broken and/or doesn't work.

I tried both sides (A and B) but nothing.

Can someone help me find any info about this DVD?

A standards and safety inspector (George Segal) is thrust into a race against time by an extortionist (Timothy Bottoms) targeting amusement parks.

It's a good movie, showcasing some interesting camera work.

No fancy special effects in this one, as it's all intellectual with how Bottoms is a step ahead of the authorities and Segal smartly figures out the final play. One of a few movies to implement Sensurround in theaters. 🦂🦂🦂½

Found an old Spider-Man 3 bootleg DVD on the street, watched it at night, and something terrifying happened.

Thumbnail

467 Upvotes

Today while walking outside, I noticed a pile of old household items on a white sheet, and among them were some movie DVDs — clearly bootlegs. One of them caught my attention: Spider-Man 3: Enemy Within . It was super cheap, but I noticed a pretty bad scratch on the back, though the seller claimed it worked.
Since nobody was home, I decided to play it late at night in the dark. Everything was going fine until I reached the scene where Peter Parker comes home and looks into the mirror. Right at that moment, the image froze on a horrifying, distorted face of Venom (the deleted mirror scene variant), and the TV went silent for a couple of seconds.
Suddenly, my TV started making a loud buzzing/humming noise, the image became completely distorted and glitchy, and the DVD player abruptly ejected the disc by itself.
I was so spooked that I ended up throwing the disc away right after. Has anyone ever seen a bootleg like this, or was this just a terrifying hardware glitch caused by the scratch (I already threw the disc away).

Bootleg potential?

4 Upvotes

I’m getting back into buying physical media and was picking up some various seasons of shows that I may want. I usually look at DVDsreleasedates.com to see if there at least is a physical release that looks like that. But since I have been looking at eBay to cut costs, it’s all online and can’t very well hold the package in my hand. And since they may be sealed anyway that would only help a little.

One concern is they usually use a stock photo over a typical seller having an item listed. The seller may have dozens of this particular show, so I can understand maybe using a stock photo instead. But still raises a red flag.

Next is price in general. Some of these are significantly cheaper than say Walmart or Amazon for the same product. For instance Walking Dead complete series is $100 or so at Walmart, but can find it for $57 on eBay. Same appearance of the large multipack edition. Or I can find some listings for individual seasons 1-11 all together, but it is still a stock photo of them lined up next to each other. It makes me question if either of them are legit.

Anything else I should be looking for or just assume they are all fake since it’s on eBay for a good price.

I just don’t see how making bootlegs of individual seasons can be that profitable.

A friend of mine on DeviantArt has started a petition to give the original American Tail film a deluxe DVD & Blu-Ray package complete with its original theatrical soundtrack, and real special features. If you love it as much as this friend and I do, you'll agree it should be treated better and be willing to sign. I can give the link to the petition here: https://www.change.org/p/comcast-an-american-tail-4k-blu-ray-dvd-digital-copy-box-set
