ABOUT WARNER DVDS: Warner
have put a lot of effort into the whole DVD phenomenon and as a result took it upon
themselves to design their own cases, which everyone calls snapper cases (some actually
call it the crapper case :)
Until recently, these cases were used by Warner the world around. However, The
Australian Arm of Warner went it alone in the cases department and now only release their
DVDs in the Clear Amaray Case (For once Australia is the envy of the world with DVD :)
As many Australian DVDer's still had tonnes of Warner DVDs with said snapper case, Warner
VERY gratiously decided to offer Australian Consumers, REPLACEMENT DVD Slicks for their
Warner DVDs, for placement inside an Amaray Case!! DVD Plaza was instrumental in
this free offer, and so DVD Plaza along with DVDown Under were contacted by Warner to
distribute the replacement Cases and slicks.
Warner DVDs carry a RRP of $34.95 (in
effect october 1999). They have also been the leaders in massive price reductions on
dozens of back catalogue titles. These Prices Range from $24.95 to $29.95.
Kudos to them...
Recently The screen ratio of
ALL DVDs has been included on the Slicks (and whether they are 16:9 Enhanced or not),
prior to this, only movies presented in the 2.351 aspect ratio were listed as such....
Since mid 2001, for some strange reason,
Warner have been releasing region 4 NTSC format DVDs to Australian. it's quite
disappointing to see this happening, especially when the studio is as big as Warner.
However, Warner have stated that ALL these DVDs will be replaced with PAL Format
versions down the track
* All the Warner DVDs to make it to Australia do not include the MPEG audio format, but
prefer to use Dolby Digital. |
