i had the chance of buying dvds on 2 separate times only. the first time was in 2006, the copies then were actually very good, but the last one i bought last 2007, it wasn't as good anymore because they are also selling in dvd format advance copies of movies.

I don't know where you guys live but where I come from, pirated vcd/dvd's are everywhere! We used to buy a few years back since it was really a lot cheaper to see a new movie on one of them pirated cd's than to go to the cinemas. But we eventually got too tired of the terrible quality of the videos. Either you'll see people walking in front of the screen, or you'll get annoyed to hell hearing somebody coughing terminally on the background.

yeah, that's true. DVDs are sold everywhere where i'm at. I 'm not enticed to buy one though because there are lots of bad copies, like the ones you just mentioned.It's quite hilarious, actually, but also quite annoying at times.
Thanks for the response.

We always buy pirated DVDs because original DVDs are not available in Pakistan. I checked all kind of DVDs. I watched chinese DVDs' Pakistani DVDs' Malaysian DVDs and Original american DVDs.
I did not find any difference in quality. I think best DVDs is China made dvd but their menu is in chinese. So best DVD is Pakistani made.
I like 2 in 1 DVDs specially for English movies. I can get 2 or 3 movies in the price of 1.
Thanks

I never bought a VCD tape ever but my family loves to watch movies too so we used to borrow VCD tapes from a vidoe store and they're all original.
Buying pirated DVD's, I'm guilty to that. Hehehe.. I bought one before I guess and sometimes borrow DVD copies from my friends and mostly pirated.
We all know the differences of DVD pirated copies. Sometimes it's not clear, sometimes the audio is bad, sometimes, the life span of the tape is nothing compared to a real copy. I have experienced this all.

Well i did buy a lot of pirated copies of movies a couple of years back. Since the quality of the DVD wasnt that good i was able to watch those movies for some 6 or 7 times. Later the quality of the movie diminished and i had to switch back to original dvd's. Now i am downloading original dvd prints on the internet and i dont mind doing this. Its absolutely free now and can watch it or download it any time.

yes, i've bought a couple. they have really nice and clear copies already. some are even dvd copies already. although, right now, i've stopped buying pirated copies as these pirated discs can actually make dvd players defective.
