r/dvd

When one of the DVD results of the movie you are looking for in question displays "Located in the United States" despite being an NTSC ALL (Region 0) disc (like the one in the link above for example), does this mean that it is still an NTSC DVD movie created and made in the US/Japan all the same capable of working and playing anywhere else around the world?

My good friend decided that we need a webpage dedicated to requesting titles that were never released on Blu-Ray/4K or in a specific region. He plans on using this data to submit to distributors to see if he can get traction on them. Let's help him out:

I live in the Eu, specifically in Greece, I am interested on staring a DVD collection because I am frustrated when a piece of media that I love is pulled off a platform. Any advice where to start collecting DVDs or DVDs in Greek, the store's that I knew that sold DVDs have shut down

I decided to stop using streaming when I graduated high school a couple of weeks ago,they kept taking off my favorite movies for seemingly no reason to do so (ahem tubi taking off ALL the carries plus charlie bartlett) so I decided instead of streaming ill buy dvds and watch them,if im gonna pay for a movie I wanna be sure I actually own it,granted I still do use things such as youtube for videos or tiktok when im bored,I wont pretend ive completely closed up internet.ive only used streaming for one day and it was an hour or two to watch south park due to the fact that I dont have any south park dvds or such,south park was hated in my house and I wasnt allowed to watch it growing up haha.i personally think dvds are a gift from the man made earth although some of them can get expensive.

I found a rare dvd mickey mouse box at a flea market

It had a black stain and the dvd was scratched. I bought it for 20 bucks. And the seller gave me a free notebook. But when I opened the dvd it had a paper with a text and a drawing of a melty man with a one next to it the dvd also wasn't the actual dvd. It was just a burned dvd with a weird extra chapter with a lot of random audio peases and 1 video of a distorted mickey mouse chained up and a someone speaking a weird speech

update:the seller just called and want me to get his things for free should I accept the offer

It seems like 2005 was the most widespread time of utilizing HF-filtering and edge enhancement to reduce compression artifacts from being visible on DVDs coming out during a time that A. HDTVs were flying off shelves and B. there was no HD disc format yet. The biggest drawbacks to this were muted colors due to the HF-filtering and less-detailed details due to the edge enhancement, combined with a haloing effect to some degree. Overall a softer looking image to make clean compression easier to achieve. Without overscan, it is quite easy to see edge enhancement at the corners of an image even if you can’t see it in the details. Children’s titles are played constantly at my households, so Wandaba Style, The Cat Returns, The Incredibles, Swing Girls, Robots, and Madagascar were the noticable offenders in this study. Seeing movie footage in The Incredibles’ bonus features or watching the newer DVD of Cat Returns from GKIDS yields noticeably brighter colors and more detail, even without side-by-side. I know this might be pointless from a critical standpoint as all the animated films I listed can be replaced with clean unfiltered Blu-ray versions that are worth it no matter the DVD image, but I was wondering if anyone had any info or confirmation to pitch into this personal study. I could talk about how Swing Girls’ DTS DVD sounds way better than the near-field mixes on the Blu-ray releases, but that’s for another story.

Liebe Grüße an alle Retter der Privataufnahmen da draußen,

ich möchte für jemanden eine alte Videoaufnahme die in den 80ern aufgenommen und damals schon digitalisiert worden war erneut als abspielbare DVD erstellen.
Ich stoße nur mit meinen Mitteln immer wieder an meine Grenzen und bin langsam gefrustet. Ich besitze die Filmdatei in den 3 Formaten VRO, VBO und mp4. Entscheidend sind eigentlich die mp4-Formate da die ursprüngliche Aufnahme aus 2 verschiedenen Videos besteht die separat als DVD erstellt werden sollen. Diese wollte ich via CD Bruner XP zu einer DVD erstellen, musste aber feststellen, dass besagte Software nichts mit mp4 anfangen kann sondern nur mit VOB, ifu und bup-Dateien. Beim Versuch zu schauen ob ich mit dem Konverter Super diese Datei in eines der gewünschten Formate umwandeln kann musste ich feststellen, dass Super einfach nicht mehr startet um in Ladeprozess feststeckt.

Da dies nur eine einmalige Sache ist will ich daher eine simple und frei verfügbare Software nutzen ohne jetzt Geld für eine einmalige Aktion lassen zu müssen. Von Daher bin ich über jede sinnvolle Empfehlung dankbar. Entweder kann jemand von euch mir eine Alternative zu CD Bruner XP empfehlen die auch mit mp4 arbeiten kann oder einen alternativen Konverter?

Eine Variante möchte ich gleich ausschließen, Freemake kommt für mich nicht in Frage da diese in der kostenlosen Version ihr Wasserzeichen drauf legen was nicht schlimm wäre, wenn es einfach mal nicht den ganzen Bildschirm ausfüllen würde.

Vielen lieben Dank für eure Hilfe.

I own a UB820 and recently, I saw an old TV series that I wanted to re-watch but only in DVD. Has anyone experienced if there would be any possible improvements in watching DVD on panasonic bluray players? I am not expecting popping colors but will there be any "upscaling" happening if ever? To add context, I will be watching in a non-OLED 55" TV
