Dan, The DVD I have has all English covers (there are two covers, one for the keepcase and then a cardboard one which the keepcase slips into), but unfortunately I don't have it with me to check if it is a Canadian or American release. If it's any use to you I ordered it for £12.99 from...

Well I did find the time to watch Beauty and the Beast last night, so now I can post some more comments. :) James and Neil, I guess I really proved that I don't know anything about DVD authoring, but in my defence I don't own any of the DVDs you mentioned as I have them on laserdisc. However...

I got a very nice surprise in the post today, my Region 1 copy of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. :) I didn't have very long to look at the DVDs before I had to leave for work, but all the features Disney promised appeared to be there, including the three versions of the film. Now I don't know...

I have to agree with Iain regarding the 18 certificate. I've always found it laughable that in the UK a 16 year old can have sex but can't watch people having sex in a film. I hadn't heard about the potential change to the 12 certifiacte, has this been brought about because of what happened...

Eric, I order all my Region 4 DVDs from ezydvd.com.au. They are cheap and are well set up to cope with international orders. In fact they often do special 'International Prices' on their most popular discs which include shipping. Russell

Matty, I don't quite agree with you. People go to see a film with big stars in it because they have a good idea of the kind of film it will be with these actors in it. However, people also go to Disney films for the same reason. Therefore there is no reason not to expect future CGI film studios...

I assume the Ab Fab shows they are refering to are the new episodes which just aired on BBC1 in the UK, so yes this is the British show and they are new episodes. Having said that, they have been quite heavily critised in the UK press (although I personally never saw them) and even Jennifer...

Yes I'd say it's reasonable, not a great deal, but certainly reasonable. $650 dollars converts to about £450, and given that you would struggle to buy an RF demodulator for less than £75 and the laserdisc player (the best PAL/NTSC player ever) for less than £200, this means that you are paying...

Hi Huw, I live in London and I agree with you about feeling a little 'left out', but I suppose there is not too much in the way of 'studios' for us to visit over here. Pinewood and Shepperton are spaces the American studios rent tomake films in. Ah well, at least we don't have to worry so much...

Mark, I've got a REL Stadium, which is just a larger version of the Strata and I can confirm that REL subs are indeed very good for both music and movies. My friend has got a Strata II, and having listened to this I can say that it's very similar to my sub except that it doesn't go quite as...

Mark, I think the Malata player that was refered to converts PAL to NTSC so that you could watch the Buffy DVDs on any normal American TV. Regarding the boxset packaging I bought the R4 versions as they come in keepcases enclosed in a cardboard sleeve. This takes up a lot of room, but at least...

John, I got this email and I went back to the site and filled the form in again with no problems (although given that I live in the UK I still may not get my DVD), so I think it is on the level. Regards Russell ------------------

Thanks for the reply guys! You basically confirmed what I had hoped, that the long cable would diminish the picture but not enough for me to worry about. I just wanted some assurance of this before I went and made up the cable. Bob, you're right about the evening, we will probably drunk too...

Dear All, I am hoping to have a little film show in my garden soon (to make good use of some of the few warm dry evenings we get in Engalnd) using a projector borrowed from work. I already have speakers in the garden so sound is not a problem, but I don't want to have to move my laserdisc...
