Wow...thanks for the informative post Mr. Hankey. I always knew those cheap pirated DVDs skim the extra features or contents. Now we are assured that buying original DVDs will give us more "watching hours" (either willingly or reluctantly) in return & no exciting "trailers" will we ever miss out.  :D

If I was really inclined, I'd buy a Blu-ray drive and just rip the movie from my original disc.

No need for disclaimer: format or space shifting falls under fair use and is legal. Of course, depending on your jurisdiction or how you do it you may run afoul of other laws (e.g., patent or DMCA anti-circumvention laws) and IANAL.

I'd just transcode directly to the target player format, like, MP4 or AVI for the PS3.

Now if only OS X actually supported Blu-ray playback, and external Blu-ray drives were cheaper!

No, pirated DVDs qualities are not VCD quality...since I buy VCDs, when I compared them, well VCDs won when it comes to quality.

Those "pirated blu-ray discs" you are referring to? They're just the standard pirated DVD kind, only difference is, the pirates boosted the color saturation, sharpness and contrast settings of the video image.

It's an illusion.

Buying pirated DVD was a nightmare, quality was VCD

Some pirates can take the VCD file and encode it onto a DVD disc. Hence, the VCD quality. Anyone with a decent computer, disc burner and video conversion software can do that.

One example--although they're not pirates--are some of those (if not all of them) P375 Viva DVDs. The master files they use are from their VCD sources. They place them on a DVD disc and voila! Akala na ng mga tao iba ang quality, yun pala, iba lang yung disc na ginamit.

Hindi ibig sabihin na kapag DVD, maganda na kaagad ang video at audio. Depende yan sa source file na ginamit!  ;D

I'm not sure if you get clifford_ethan's point. He was referring to those pirated "blu-ray ripped" DVD. Those are the more expensive (cost around P75 each) than the regular pirated DVD (some cost 3 for P100). The Blu-ray ripped PQ is really good even up to a 52" HD display.

true that. 60 bucks a pop lang actually for the ones in slide tin cases. 5.1 DTS sounds.... wala lang bonus features. 8 gig ang file size sa disc BTW  ;)

but don't buy pirated stuff ok?  8)

the "3 for 100" are what they call dibidi copy. these are probably copies from R5 or DVD screeners.

The "Blu-reh" that they refer to are taken from Original DVDs that's why it's better than dibidi copies. it also has dolby/dts and can sometimes include special features.

The Tincan slides according to them are dual layered. the disc is thicker than the "Blu-reh" ones.

Oh it's been a long time since I last hear those terms dibidi or Blu-reh copy... ;D

Some of the Blu-reh copy are from orig DVD while some are from orig BD (BD ripped).

Yeah, I got his point. And no, I've seen those rips--they're not good  ;D

Maybe your regular seller has a "special" lineup of items that are not normally seen in the average dibidi stalls  ;)

1. Oh you're still not telling the truth...if you've seen it then you would know they're good. Since you said they're not good then obviously you haven't seen it... ;D

2. If you have seen it then I'm sure you know they are easily available & don't need sellers with "special" lineup items... probably it's just that not all dibidi stalls have it...you should try DVD stalls instead... ::)

Since other members have also pointed out the PQ is better in blu-reh or bd-ripped copy but you still insisting they're not good. Perhaps, you could explain a bit further why is such & what do you mean by good PQ in your definition? I'm just curious lang...  :)

You have to clearly know how to differentiate a "collector" from a regular "hoarder". A collector keeps most of his treasures and not think about re-selling or worry about its depreciation, unless you collect gems and stones. Collectors gets the satisfaction of getting what he wants and look at it as an accomplishment, wherein a regular hoarder gets his satisfaction by merely buying everything that is in the rack. You can be a collector by just having 50pcs..but quality titles, rare, or the Limited's. It's about quality and not quantity.  ;)

The staff at Astro Podium told me about one guy who bought a load of DVDs and kept inspecting the plastic wrapping of each. He was so meticulous that he would ask the staff to replace a copy with another one based on the condition of the wrapping before he paid.

And that's not just limited to legit DVDs. I know a guy who treats his bootleg collection like gold. Very particular with the condition and packaging of the discs and only buys from one supplier. I've never heard of him re-selling, though.

There was a thread on DVD addiction somewhere here before. Someone should dig it up again.

Is he meticulous because of how the plastic was wrapped or is he checking wether the pastic is original or resealed? I am meticulous about the latter.

I also know someone who koleks boot's, he even bought a Brothers electronic name labeler to stick his name on it. Last time I saw his koleks, there are already 5 balikbayan boxes and still counting. Is that a collection or hoarding? Sounds like an addiction to me.

From what I gathered, he wanted the plastic to be "pristine" or something. Completely understand about the resealing issue--kahit ako ganon.

The boot collector, are his movies any good or just because?

Pristine?..hmmm, baka hindi nya binubuksan?  :)  There was a time when I wanted to reseal all my DVD's after watching. Bought hundreds of plastic from the US, yung ginagamitan ng hair blower to reseal pero tinamad na ako.  ;D

From what I know he doesn't choose..as long as there is a new title, he grabs all of them. So I guess his movies are all mixed up. Swerte ni seller. Kaya everytime I see his place, unang hirit nya..."pre, dami na ang DVD ko".  :)

AFAIK, Quiapo BD's are DL'd MKV's converted to play in regular DVD players. So sometimes, the extra info contained in HD MKV's have better image quality than orig DVD's. BUT, most of the time, Quiapo DVD 9's BD kuno are just straight orig DVD rips.

minsan pa nga maloloko ka, stereo lang yung audio, hindi 5.1!  (most likely as what sir hexagram said, mga DL'ed avi or mkvs na nireencode  uli sa DVD..)   :P

kaya if quality ang gusto mo talaga or a movie is a keeper to  you, best to stick to the origs.. kumpleto pa bonus material (i'm a sucker for those...)  :)

Tinigilan ko na yang mga BD cross-converted to DVD.  Quality is terrible.

Malinaw nga ang picture, pero lagi namang mali ang frame rate na ginagamit.  

Pansinin n'yo ang motion, hindi makinis, masyadong choppy/jerky.  I'm not sure why, but they may be using variable frame rates instead of a correct constant frame rate while converting from BD.  

Ang purpose siguro ng pirater ay para mas mabilis ang conversion from BD to DVD.

Pag nakakita ako ng ayos na frame rate, usually DVD lang ang source, not BD.  Check the Dolby audio bit rate.  Pag 448 kbps or below, standard DVD lang ang source; pag 640 kpbs, BD ang source.

oo nga naman sir barrister. pansin ko nga yun sa mga cross conversion na yan... minsan pag wala masyado action or onscreen movement, malinaw. pero pag may fast action or movement, yan na magiging choppy or pixelated.

and pansin ko rin sa iba copies eh  yung sound, not as good as orig. kahit indicated na DD or DTS pag chineck mo.

buti tinigilan ko na rin mga yan hehehe.  ;D

might be true. never really noticed it or cared much as i am more inclined to "watch" the story or the movie itself i guess. parang ang hirap naman kasi na nawawala na yung enjoyment sa panonood ng movie at ng istorya because nakaabang ka na lang sa motion at slight imperfections rather than sa content ng movie. but thats just me.  :)

I agree.

Mukhang iba na nga ang quality.. bumaba na.  kaya di na ko bumibili.. tinigilan ko.. aside from the fact na nagbabagong-buhay na ko na legit na lahat ng bibilin ko, pumapangit nga talaga ang quality..

kaya kapag nagtitipid ako, bumibili na lang ako ng mga cheap original dvds from our very own marketplace kesa bumili ng pirated.  ang gaganda pa ng quality ng DVDs inside and out! :)

and napansin ko rin na nakakahilo nga kapag pirated tapos naka-trumotion sa LED.. pero pag orig, swabe!  sa ganda ng PQ, pwede ko pa i-delay ang pagbili ko ng BDs.  ;D

go legit! :)

Our next door neighbor does that. When I showed my original VCD/DVD collection, he thinks pareho lang ang quality...but for me and other videophiles disagree.

maganda po talaga quality nung pirated blu-ray disc from quiapo na 60 pesos each.

sa iba 70 pesos yun pero sa suki ko 60 lang lol.

sa mcs naman,(makati cinema square) 65 pesos bigay sakin ng suki ko.

 :)

naintriga tuloy ako dito..blue din ba ang casing nito like the origs? di na kasi ako nagagawi ng quiapo..but doesnt mean na bibili ako nito..im already legit  ;D

100% agree ako dyan. Yong fake walang set standard. Sa original legit at walang daya ang in terms of bitrate and audio output. although may BD na ngayon. once you use your orig DVD for upconversion dvd player mas maganda pa din ang original in terms of  picture and sound. DI pa di obsolete ang DVD kaya uso na ang triple play movie package BD+DVD+Digital copy. Tsaka maganda pa din ang DVD picture quality sa regular TV at small screen gaya ng portable DVD screen at pang kotse.

Nag last day sale na kahapon ng dibidi sa Poquia. Tigil na daw (muna?), utos daw ni yorme sabi ng vendor. 'Di lang natin alam kung maibabalik pa. Kung dati pagkatapos na pagkatapos ng Raid, magbubukas din agad ang mga tindahan dun, kahapon talagang nag kusa na silang mag limas ng mga paninda nila. Parang 'yung narinig ko dati sa radyo, ang sabi, dati daw sa Japan at Hong Kong me parang Quiapo din, kung saan me bentahan din ng mga "knock offs" at "pirated", pero nalinis din daw 'yung mga lugar na 'yun. Ngayon daw meron pa din bentahan, pero patago na sa mga nabanggit na bansa. Marami din siguro dito ang makaka "miss" sa pag "score" sa Poquia na ilan taong din namayagpag sa pag benta ng "dibidi ma'am, dibidi sir, dibidi, dibidi, dibidi x.

they're turning to loading mkv's for a fee. a resident pirate at metrowalk offered my friend 1080p files @ 50 or 60 pesos. can't really remember but it's priced the same as a bd dvd9 bootleg.

i really doubt they'll be loading uncompressed 1080p's.

before he'd gotten the text of that 'load' offer, me and my friends were joking around that if we were to set up a pirate's den in quiapo, all we would need is a laptop w/ powerful wifi and a NAS somewhere near our stores location. we'll be selling mkv loads. para pag nag raid, takbo with only the laptop. wala pang ebidensya kase wala naman illegal files sa loob ng laptop. just a random recollection...sorry ;D

prices have increased, from Php15.00 up to Php25/30 na per piece. TV Series Php70-100. You can haggle though...but then the question is why bother hunting for them if there are other legit and not-so-legit sources...

if jack sparrows fail to meet demand they'd just have to resort to other means to meet that demand and going legit is not an option

I think the last line is wrong. Pirated materials hit everyone not  just the US. Even the local productions don't stand a chance due to piracy.

Here's the blow by blow (job ;D) between original DVDs and Pirated DVDs

Let's start with Pirated:

What's hot- Cheap!
What's not- low resolution, amateur menus, no special features, wrong subtitles, wrong information.

Now on Original:

What's hot- good/great resolution, interactive menus, special features, accurate (sometimes) subtitles, right information.
What's not- expensive.

sa office namin may nagbebenta ng dibidi.
25 peso per disk ang benta nya, at 35 pag concert.
natigil sya sandali at namroblema dahil sa quiapo incident at marami ang gusto magpapalit dahil defective yung ibang nabenta.  last i heard, nakausap nya yung source at nag eb nalang daw sila somewhere to buy stuff.  ::)

meron pa pala nagbebenta samin, yung metal case dibidi naman 65 pesos per disk naman, OK sana yung PQ at DD audio pa, pero talon naman ng talon nung may binili akong copy, pinatos ko yung movie dahil wala kasing makunan nung title kaya no choice ako   :-\
obviously di ko pwede rip sa pc kasi malamang error lang din  :D
