How can you tell if an R3 title is DVD5 or DVD9?
Moks007:
I just have a question, the discs of viva are those imported? or locally produced..Also the Magna 895 are they imported, and the 575 and 299 are local? Thanks
techdude:
Moks007, refer to my post above.
In addition, Viva discs at 120-199 and new releases at 375 are local DVD5 with locally authored content (ie Viva logo, Videogram warning , and often without subtitles).
Magnavision's 575 seems to be a new breed, according to the Casino Royale thread is locally manufactured DVD9, with additional local ad inserted. So far, few new Magna releases are released at this price point...don't know if the others are also local DVD9, maybe owners of one disc MI:III and Fast and Furious:Tokyo Drift can reply. But I feel Casino Royale might be the first local DVD9 from Magnavision. Whether future 575 releases will be local DVD9s is unknown (yet)...
All this is as of now, as distributor can switch DVD manufacturers at their option...

Casino Royale is not the first local DVD9 from Magnavision.. Those budget DVD9 titles given for free when you purchase the 2-Disc Casino Royale DVD are locally manufactured DVD9s.. These are 1-disc versions of the usual 2-disc releases.. Titles include Broken Trail, Memoirs of a Geisha and The Da Vinci Code..

I almost always buys the 2-disc version of releases with one and two discs versions, so I am not sure - after all, I qualified my statement with 'might'... :)
If I may ask, are the budget DVD of those releases (ie Broken Trail) DVD9s?

I highlighted that part of your reply, sir techdude, because that was the focus of my reply.. My intention was not to correct you or imply that you were mistaken.. And I did take into consideration the uncertainty you implied in your statement when I made my reply.. ;)
As for your query, yes, the budget releases of Broken Trail, Memoirs of a Geisha and The Da Vinci Code are DVD9s.. The copies I had were DVD9s, only, they were locally manufactured..
