if the pirate one transfered the entire ori region 2 or region 1 DVD to a real 8.5GB DVD9 blank, I don't think there will be any difference between video or audio quality...
unless you think those DVD9 logo on the cover sold by pirates (which are 4.3GB ones) are actually real 8.5GB DVD9s..
Mostly true, but I have some discs where - really - it sucks - it says DTS but can tell the sound quality is off.
I think not many do 1:1 transfer. Some will cut corners, reduce bit-rate, whatever.
RM60 can buy blu-ray - 'almost' lah.
That's true. But if you see, blu-ray and normal DVD is almost the same price in US as well. So cannot say lah. Just that we get some crazy 150 bucks lah. Nonsense.
But coming, back, new movie - RM60 DVD, original, well I can't complain lah. and many are even cheaper.
do I prefer cheaper - who doesn't want!!! - but I think the current pricing is reasonable.
dont simply support piracy lah - unless specific reasons - DVD features, sountrack, region1 copy better, whatever.
