    How much do you usually pay for blurays at customs?

    In Sweden anything costing over $25 (including postage) is liable to be taxed with 25% Value Added Tax plus a handling fee of $15, when imported from outside of the EU. Many shipments slip through, thankfully.

    International A quick look at THIS ISLAND EARTH (16x9) from the U.K.

    That's simply not true. Lots of European DVDs are region free. They will be in PAL, though, so that may be an obstacle for many US users.

    Would anyone recommend AxelMusic (DVD shopping website)?

    I get almost all my R1 titles from Axel. They may not be the cheapest, but their customer service is the best. Heartily recommended!

    Angels and Demons Bluray region locked ?

    The UK release that I bought said B and was B (I had to switch my multi-region BD player to region B to play it).

    Where are all the Jerry Lewis movies on dvd?

    The German "Visit to a Small Planet" is being sold on Amazon.de, so I doubt that it is a bootleg.

    l'Homme de Rio (That man from Rio) on DVD?

    This and Le Magnifique are my two favorite Belmondo movies. I don't think Le Magnifique has had an R1 release either. I own the French R2 release that has an English (and French, of course) soundtrack.

    Your first real "Wow" moment with BD

    For me it would be Planet Earth, hands down. Absolutely breathtaking. Anyone who likes nature documentaries owe it to themselves to get this!

    Top 5 shows you want on dvd, part whatever...

    More of Fame (at least seasons 2 - 4) More of Alfred Hithcock Presents and (does anyone else even remember this...) No Soap, Radio (1982) I believe it only lasted five episodes @ 30 mins, so it should be easy to get the whole series on one disc... ;-)

    Invisible Man (2000 Sci Fi Series) Finally Comes to DVD

    Mark, If it makes you feel any better, I know several UK shows that were released in R1 long before they were released i R2. So it goes both ways...

    Invisible Man (2000 Sci Fi Series) Finally Comes to DVD

    Sorry Mark, Didn't mean to mock you. It was partially a small stab at the "US-centricity" often displayed here ("If it hasn't been released here, it doesn't exist"). But more than that it was a reminder how useful it is to have a region free player. Need I mention "The Invaders"...?

    Invisible Man (2000 Sci Fi Series) Finally Comes to DVD

    Special Announcement regarding the third Tom & Jerry Spotlight Collection

    I'm confused. I know I've seen "Mouse Cleaning" quite recently, and I don't think it was on TV. Is it possible that it was included as an extra feature on some WB DVD? If it was, then this makes their decision even more strange...

    DVD Profiler 3.0 is out

    In case anyone is interested in reading a 28 page (and growing rapidly) thread about this, you can find it at Intervocative's forum, under Technical Support. At least Intervocative isn't stifling the discussion...

    DVD Profiler 3.0 is out

    Kan Cole has taken DVD Profiler to his new company, Invelos Software, and 3.0 has just been released. Doesn't seem to be quite stable yet, but it's certainly worth a look. http://www.invelos.com/ Version 2.4 (and 2.5 Beta) is still supported at Intervocative.

    Anyone else afraid studios will abandon regular DVD in favor of HD?

    1) Regarding the LD to DVD switch As I remember it, the major concern was that even though DVD might be technically better, how would the studios market it? Would they go for merely barebones releases to satisfy the VHS crowd, or would they include the extras that the LD owners had grown to...

    Super Fuzz DVD?

    You may be confusingthis with some other film. Hill/Spencer did several cop films. You may be thinking of Miami Supercops or possibly I due superpiedi quasi piatti which sometimes has been called Two supercops. Confusing, innit...? :wink:

    What about "Fame"

    Haven't seen anyone asking about one of my favorite eighties TV shows, "Fame". Is it too much to hope for a DVD release? Too complicated music rights, perhaps?

    IN SEARCH OF THE CASTAWAYS, THAT DARN CAT, etc. coming in PAN AND SCAN ONLY!

    Any chance that it's open matte? No that that would make it all right, but I'd rather have too much image than too little.

    DVD Pacific: customer credit-card information hacked

    I had an unauthurized charge on my credit card, but fortunately my cc company is very good at refunding such charges. I'm keeping a close watch on any new charges now, but so far I haven't seen anything more suspicious. I'm still shopping at DVD Pacific occasionally, and I would think that...

    Don't know, but after reading this comment on Amazon UK I wouldn't buy it even if it was OAR.
