One time when I was doing some voluntary work, a nice lady who used to work at a charity shop reported two pirate DVDs being stocked and identified the differences between a real DVD and a counterfeit one. I thanked her dearly for her concern.

@woolcroft The problem is they were being marketed as "genuine" releases on ebay and the prices were similar to a typical sale price from a legitimate retailer. Another problem that I didn't mention is the average life expectancy of blank dvds is significantly lower than pre-recorded discs. In fact, I have some as recent as four years old where the layers are starting to separate. Most people who are willing to pay lower prices are not aware of this fact.

First counterfeit products and now counterfeit DVDs? What the hell is this world coming to?! Like counterfeit products, counterfeit DVDs should be outlawed.

- R is more popular with DVD rippers? Hmmn.. I don't use that..When making DVDs I have only ever used DVD+R because +R is higher grade than - R. Another thing, Has no company what so ever produced plain silver and gold back DVDs for recording on or do laws prohibit this and force only colored backs to be sold as blank to record on? If someone got blanks that was gold or silver back then they'd fool people better, I have bought some legit DVDs in the stores before from generic companies that have cloudy print on the disc but are legit and not made from colored back burn discs, On one though (Mitchell) what was sad was they made it from a OLD VHS and didn't bother to restore it and also it cuts out in the middle and has tracking issues, I looked and found a perfect version online on a movie site and downloaded that to replace my "legit" but shitty DVD version. Also the actual DVD version came with NO Bonus features, Just the standard menus to select scenes.

I just got a packaged that I purchased from eBay. It is a lot of close to 100 DVDs of the same title. It has been a long while since I have purchased DVDs as I normally just stream videos on amazon and youtube. Anyway, the DVD to me feels cheap and fake. The case is some flimsy plastic that doesn't seem like it does a good job of protecting the DVD. It did not have a security tag on wrapping and doesn't have the proof of purchase attached to the barcode. The face is not colored like the fake ones on this video. It is like the real ones. The disk has no graphic not what I would expect from warner brothers. I am currently trying to find a copy of this that I can compare too.

I'm sorry , but anyone who buys a dvd off ebay is a mug , simple as that......buy from HMV or another high st retailer, ebay is for people selling a starter motor for a 1956 Morris Minor or a silver plated art deco cigarette case....buy dvds from ebay and you are just asking to be had.

If you didn't have the original you would never be able to tell the counterfeit. The counterfeits have the so called "security strip" as well as the inserts and shrink wrap, and I've even seen the silver backs on the disc as well as the proper stamping. I was told by an executive at PBS that 90% of the PBS products sold by Amazon marketplace sellers are counterfeit. Amazon won't close these accounts because they make millions a day.
