was able to watch Hanggang Ngayon.. on dvd .. and sadly, there were no subtitles again.

with this the case, there is not much difference anymore between the vcd and dvd in terms of watching it . I know there are still chapters in the dvd and you dont need to change discs, but since there is no subtitles, some people may SERIOUSLY consider buying the 150 peso vcd than the 450 peso DVD.

Viva!!!!!! Put back the subtitles, will ya!

Upon aquiring "TATARIN' yesterday, to my dismay, Yes they indeed remove the subtitles features.

But the goodies (if you know what I mean) within the film is still intact

barrid · « **Reply #127 on:** May 03, 2002 at 09:17 AM »

Removing subtitle feature maybe one way to make the DVD more affordable. For me, putting lot of useless subtitles cost more. Why not put outtakes or bloopers if they want to fill the DVD so it won't look like a barebone.

I'm interested! Please post your review/feedback on the said DVD. Thanks!

barrid · « **Reply #131 on:** May 11, 2002 at 06:54 AM »

I should have post my comments sooner, but my package from Regalfilms came a lot later.

Anyway, Yamacrapa, Bahay ni Lola and Hubog are as bare bone as you can get. It has an English subtitle. Animated chapter index [divided on six chapters]. Full screen. And that was it.
Though I was not able to watch all of them. I had a peek on Bahay ni Lola. As a test drive, I jumped into one chapter to see how it look like. I can't believe it. It is obviously copied from tape. It is grainy and there was a tape wrinkle from the source. They should/could have used a decent tape source to make it a little presentable.
Will post comment soon after I peeked into Assunta's Hubog and Yamacrapa.

Sad to know the poor transfer on Regal

How about the letterbox via special effects I mentioned previously on this thread?

Barrid and Bentley I highly appreciate your shared thoughts concerning this, especially acquiring the the DVD version.

barrid · « **Reply #133 on:** May 12, 2002 at 10:41 AM »

Please pardon my earlier comment about the "Bahay ni Lola" dvd. Like I said, I just peeked in on a certain chapter. In which the resolution suffers a because the scene was shot in the dark. Today, I was able to watch the whole movie. And, I was wrong! The transfer is clear. With the exeption of the part I first jumped in. It is comparable to every Pinoy DVD I got. I'm sorry for misleading you.

I could have modify my earlier post, but I believe, some members had already read my post. So, I will just leave it that way.
About the " Yamacrapa" DVD. I just finished watching it. The transfer is also clear. And I must say, I got my moneys worth. The Letterboxing thing happening during the special effects are negligible. It lessen the full screen very little. If I was not informed before hand. I might not noticed them. I don't know how the transfer was on VHS. But On DVD, it fairs fine.

I also took advantage of this promo from regalfims:
I got:

Yamacrapa
Bahay ni Lola
Ekis
Kailangan Koy Ikaw

I only had the oppurtunity to watched Yamacrapa, though,it was not perfectly clear, but there was a great deal of improvements compare to the first films released...

Announced for release this month from Viva:

Hari Ng Selda

Hi Barrid,

Any news about the quality of Assunta's Hubog?
I got the vcd copy (before i knew that Regal was releasing it on dvd) and the vcd picture quality is bad. I hope it's better on dvd.

Would really appreciate your feedback on the picture quality. Won't mind getting the dvd if it's better than the vcd.

Hubog won various awards and citations, including the Urian, for 2001. It caters to a particular taste in filmviewing. And I'm not just talking of Assunta's assets here.

barrid · « **Reply #137 on:** Jun 09, 2002 at 09:42 AM »

Hi Jaycat! Welcome to PinoyDVD!

Well. I haven't seen the original VCD version of the film. So I can not compare it with the DVD. Anyway, if you own or has seen some Pilipino DVD before. It has the same video quality just like those other releases.

Keep on posting!

jaycat · « **Reply #138 on:** Jun 10, 2002 at 12:31 PM »

The only other locally produced pinoy dvd i've seen is 'burlesk queen ngayon' - which totally sucked! Aside from the dvd containing the edited version (as noted in an earlier posting in this thread), the picture quality was not different from the vhs version, which is not saying much, considering the price difference & dvd technology potentials.

So i guess for now, i'l just avoid the viva & regal dvd releases....

I've seen some tagalog dvds produced in the US. Picture quality is at par with hollywood dvd releases. Dvd ang dating, hindi vhs-looking with matching tape creases at the bottom or top edge pa kung minsan (as in the viva releases)... Except for "curse of the vampires", which I had to get since it was directed by the late great filipino master gerry de leon - the overall quality was WAY BELOW the film's grade-B genre!

barrid · « **Reply #139 on:** Jun 10, 2002 at 01:13 PM »

Everyone here has agreed that all the Pilipino DVDs was copied from VHS. The only thing I like about the DVD version is that you can access your favorite scene/chapter in a couple of second.
Also, May I encourage you to post some of your comments about the future of Pilipino DVDs in another thread. Let's keep it busy. Maybe some insiders from different film co. are reading this, and maybe they will consider our comments and make a better DVDs in the future.

the 3 regal dvds already on sale at astrovision for 450 each.

Hi there!

im actually looking for a dvd about pinoy concert tulad nn kay martin nievera concert or gary v or ibang pinoy or pinay like lani misalucha,zhazh, jaya etc.

meron ba kayoma rerecommend sa akin? thanks ha!

barrid · « **Reply #142 on:** Jun 25, 2002 at 06:53 AM »

I saw one at the Filipino Fiesta a couple weeks ago and it's a Martin Nievera's Concert. I did not took a good look since Rex Navarrete was performing at the stage that time. And also, the price tag is almost $20. Siguro,kung concert pa ng Parokya ni Edgar o Grin Dept yun, tataluhin ko na.

I haven't seen this one in any local store. Do you remember any other detail regarding this release, barrid?

As disscussed in the "DVD wannabes?" thread, there is one Martin Nievera album which has been packaged in a DVD keepcase but is actually a CD (w/ free VCD). Here's how it looks:

click image for details

It has video clips from his concert alright but its no DVD.

barrid · « **Reply #144 on:** Jun 26, 2002 at 06:45 AM »

You maybe right, Bartmaniac! Maybe the one I saw was a DVD wannabe.But I'm not sure either. Obviously, I'm not a fan of Martin that's why I only had a quick glance at it. I can't even recall the cover how it looks like. But it was bunch with other Pinoy DVDs, that's why I concluded it is a DVD. Now, I have no way to check it again because it is exclusively distributed by ABS-CBN Rolling Store. But if someone here can find its website. He might confirm if the DVD wannabe made a fool out of me

Or maybe it is a real DVD after all. :)Wait and see.

ßartmaniac · « **Reply #145 on:** Jul 03, 2002 at 12:59 AM »

Don't get too excited now...

Finally a Judy Ann Santos DVD!

Saw "Akala Mo..." in AstroVision at their SM and Robinson branches both in San Fernando, Pampanga.

SUPER B Saves the Day

will be available in DVD this July. That was quick considering the movie has just been shown a couple of weeks ago. I also saw the almost life-sized promotional standee of this sexy superheroine at AstroVision.

ßartmaniac · « **Reply #147 on:** Jul 07, 2002 at 12:48 AM »

Here's another one I found on the web:

click image for details

side comment: cheesy cover, isn't it? Looks like a low-budget porno to me.

But this is Carlos Siguion-Reyna film released locally as "Tatlo... magkasalo". Stars Rita Avila, Tonton Gutierrez and Ara Mina.

If I remember right, Ara and Rita Avila has a kissing scene here.

barrid · « **Reply #148 on:** Jul 07, 2002 at 06:09 AM »

Ah Yes. I've seen this movie before. The video is not so good. I wonder if they did some magic to make the video better.
Nice job, Bart, You're so resourceful.

Please don't forget to post when Super B comes out.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #149 on:** Jul 17, 2002 at 02:31 PM »

I saw

1. Super B

2. Magkapatid

at Astrovision today.
