FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

Nice one Mr.Hankey! I finally had a good laugh today.

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.

HAHAHAHA!!! so true..... Finished the popcorn and drank the refreshment even before the start of the movie.

But the trailers are sometimes the best part of watching a movie!

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.

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!

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?

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.

pchin · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 20, 2011 at 08:27 AM »

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

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

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...

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...

Oh, don't get me wrong bro. Nothing personal. It's a humorous post as I was just teasing you.

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...
