OK, Sold!
But, em, how do you actually buy them?
Or do you just like posting links of pretty pictures of DVDR Labels?
Tell that guy to change the ink on his printer!

What are they, then?

How little you know. They are actual "pressed" DVDs from Hong Kong or
Malaysia.

Sourced from old laserdisc releases, yes?

Probably, but that's the best you're gonna get. I don't have those
actual discs, but my DVD-Rs might be copies of them. If so, I find
nothing wrong with the video quality. I have a set of the original
trilogy (with some of the extras from the Def Ed. LD set) as well as
the Special Edition. Until the official set is released, these are
quite adequate.

Aye, unfortunately it is. My point was just that as long as it's not
professionally mastered for DVD by the owners of the material, I'd not use
the name "DVD" for them but something like "copied to DVD" instead. Just to
avoid confusion since it's not an official DVD release.

Was anyone confused? I wasn't confused.

That's not the point. The *content on them* is not mastered for DVD by the
studio. It's a remastered copy of the laserdisc release. The only
difference is it's been transcoded and put on a DVD instead. If people then
call them "DVD release of Star Wars" that's just wrong cause it's nothing
but a Laserdisc release bootleg in a nice wrapping. Of course, if my
premise that these are illegal copies, not released by the studio, is wrong
then so is my train of thought.
