Topic: Is this DVD fake because......

[jas]

Whoa! 'di ko alam na ganyan pala gawa ng Viva.  Mabuti na lang 'di ako bumibili ng gawa nila. 
Thanks for the tip, Bro. 

Take note though that not all Viva releases are poor quality budget DVDs. Their Fox & Disney releases are of good quality.

Most of the Fox and Disney releases of Viva has the sticker IMPORTED posted on them,
but still too pricey, I guess we do get what we pay for...

Cheers..!

The thread on How to tell if a disc is DVD9 should be a must read for DVD collectors.  That thread contains everything you-need-to-know about local DVDs but-didn't ask-before-buying...

The one thing I hate about Magnavision releases, is that the paper used for the label is so thin that often may bakat iyung hub ng DVD.

OT na tayo...

tinipid kasi kaya mukang pirated sya
para abot kaya at kontra pirata na din

mag ingat po tayo pag may sticker na viva
kasi meron ako nabili sa kanila na ang labo at vcd quality

For Viva releases, just stick to its Fox and Disney Titles.

and for their locally pressed releases, it is a "purchase at your own risk".

Check the real name of the store again. If its really from "ODDESSY" and not in "Odyssey" store... Then there's a big possibility that those are fake. 

nice one bro! hehehehe

Those are not fakes my friend, but I know that they do look CHEAP...
Most of the budget R3 releases in our country really SUCKS, in terms of
Picture and audio quality. Packaging too...

Been shying away from buying R3s lately, bought 3 or 4 titles that I really regret buying,
ended up giving some to Surg,...

Just to name a few are Rambo (picture is so BAD, no Dolby digital track as well), Next, Forbidden Kingdom,
they are very GRAINY and the colors are pretty saturated, the audio is horrendous as well...


Cheers...!

Man isn't that so true...kaya nga sa PDVD ko binbili ang Galactica DVDs ko kasi yung nilalabas dito are not even recognised sa official website niya mismo (only R1 R2 and R4). Other rare finds hahanapin ko dito. I even got a term for such stuff: "legit P-word" As for other DVDs I bought here...well, the menu of the Wedding Singer I bought sa Music 1 was such a poor piece of work. So was The Philadelphia Experiment. Basta ever since I discovered this site, I've kept my distance from stores here (though I bought SEX IN PHILIPPINE CINEMA V1 and V2 from Video City for a bargain).

Basta, R1 rocks.

Well not all R3 DVD's have sucky quality.

Warner, Fox, Disney & Paramount R3 release usually almost mirror the R1 release

Does this cover everything, even the packaging, print quality of covers? Parang nakikita ko kasi washed out usually yung mga nasa stores.

No, if packaging is what your after then we're out of luck(except Warner)
But in terms of Picture Quality & Audio Quality they're at par since the R3 & R1 releases come from the same master copy naman eh.

I bought Wedding Singer last year, I was so disappointed and upset.
They just transferred VCD to DVD format. Pangit talaga!  I did not continue watching it.
Nasira yung gabi. 

It's a form of Cheating...   Viva talaga!

kaya pala.. At first i thought there was something wrong with the settings of my htpc or maybe the media player. nung pinanood ko kasi yung viva dvd na Taken nagtataka ako bakit stereo sound lang ang lumalabas pro nung iplay ko naman yung iba kong dvd ok naman ang surround sound. "viva pala talaga." Sabagay to give them credit di nila nilagyan ng dolby symbol yung dvd.

but still when you buy dvd you expect that the minimum would be the default dolby sound. wala tuloy pagkaiba sa nabibili sa kalye..

anyway ive learned my lesson too.
