|
|
I was out shopping yesterday (Wal-Mart) and I noticed that they're selling movies and their respective sequels on what appears to be 1 single disc. I saw a few I'd like to own, and, while this prevents having to buy each movie indivdually at a price of maybe $10-$15 per disc, I can't help but wonder what the picture quality is like when you have 2,3, or even 4 movies consolidated onto 1 disc.
Any insight here? Has anyone bought any movies packaged like this in the past and can fill me/us in on how the picture quality is?
Thx! |

| those movies don't have any special features, which cuts the space down abit....but......they do compress it to make it fit on a dvd...say if you were gonna do this...not saying that i do....copy a movie to a single layer dvd ( 4.7 G )....even without the previews, special features, etc...it would be almost if not the whole ( 4.7 G )....so I would say 2-3 movies on a dual layer ( 8.5G ) would be most likely compressed a bit..... |

| I've bought a movie and the sequel on one disc, but each movie was on a separate side of the DVD. |

I bought a Rodney Dangerfield double bill at Wal-Mart a little while ago and they were on two discs. No artwork on the discs and I think just basic menus. Still worth the seven bucks I think. Easy Money is one of my favorites.

| Some of those are all on different discs, just in one package. I picked up the lethal weapon four movie package that way. LW 1-3 were the director's cut & 4 was the theatrical version. Each movie was on a different side of 2 discs... |
