Actually, and easier way to identify bootlegged DVD/VCD is that they are the cheap ones that the shop has many stocks.
For quality, go for fansubs

Nah, i mean for sub quality against these bootlegs.
There are some issues with some Ori DVDs. the first issue of Inital D by Tokyocrappop did not have the original Japanese Audio. Also the original release of Robotech by Harmony Gold. Thank goodness that Macross was rereleased by ADV, but even then, there are some issues with subs not accurate.

+1
and as I said in the thread before, a licensed distributor (IE: ones that has the license to sell the so called series outside of Japan) must have a real license from the original studio. Thus unless you can provide us with that, you're just talking through your hat

IIIITTTTSSSSS ALLLLLIIIIIVVVEEEE!!!~~~ MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Real Men watch Real Porn
Oh wait...

Anyways, original does not mean it has to be expensive. Just that it's hard to find those among the bootlegs from HK these days
