I didn't expected to be a Bakra in my Toronto shopping spree for cheap/ dupe DVDs. But it turned out that way.

1) All DVDs were on Silver Media.

2) Out of over 20 cheap DVDs, 5 - 6 were repeat purchases and knew what to expect. They were OK. Either genuine originals or exact replicas. (some are even progressive)

3) 3 - 4 DVDs had inserts in them and perhaps are genuine originals out of manufacturers clearance lot.These are OK.

4) 2 - 4 DVDs are already rotted and refuse to play after a few minutes.

5) 7 - 8, mostly YRF, are crap/ cheater DVDs. Most, out of this category, are Single Layer even if official release is Dual Layer. In one case, cover is marked as YRF and the content is Samrat/ Media Digital. A friend of mine says, these are re-compressed. PQ is terrible. I have sent Kaala Patthar and Naya Daur to Arsh. Hope, Arsh gives his input on these two discs, once he gets them. These two discs are typical of what's in other YRF dupes.

6) In 2 - 3 cases Anamorphic was not anamorphic. It was either stretched LB or just LB. (I didn't buy these as I found it in the shop).


7) In one DVD (there may be more), sub-titles stay on. They can't be switched off.

8) Even out of dupes, 2 - 3 were anamorphic OK.

My opinion, these cheap DVDs are not worth it unless you know the quality. Obviously there are a few Gems in this crap.
