ELECTRONIC VIDEO LIST
GREETINGS!!!
PLEASE NOTE: All items on my list is for TRADE ONLY! Nothing will be
sold for profit! By opening this list indicates you are solely interested in a
trade from collector to collector and not affiliated with any government or law
enforcement agency. Due to copyright reasons some items are not available for
trade and are listed for documentation purposes only. No rights given or
implied. All items in this list are believe to be unreleased through
traditional commercial channels. I offer these items because most studios are
extremely short sighted and refuse to release many of these "forgotten
gems" on DVD, however with the recent popularity of the format, many are
changing their tune and actually releasing some of this stuff, but I still can
not see them releasing shows with original commercials, full nights of network
programming, shows with original music, etc. (hopefully I'm wrong). These are
unique items and are a fantastic educational tool to get a feel of how
television was originally broadcast and approached. Once an item is released,
it will be removed from this list and I encourage everyone to purchase the
released DVD's.
This list consists of VIDEO DVD's and DATA DVD's. DATA DVD's consist of DIVX or
MPEG data files which are playable on a computer or DIVX certified player.
Please note at this time I can not convert DIVX files to a playable DVD (as in
a DVD that can be played in most standard DVD players) due to the time involved
(most Divx to DVD conversions take 6+ hours) However I STRONGLY suggest buying
a DIVX certified player which can play DIVX files. I bought a Philips DVP642
for only $50 and it plays great! (it even converts PAL to NTSC and (apparently)
can become "regionless" (or, so I hear on the Internet;-)
Also, my VHS list is still on this site (slowly converting to DVD) and can
convert ANYTHING to DVD (PAL or NTSC) for trades.
------TRADES------
All trades conducted on equal disc (if you prefer to do it differently, let me
know up front, I'm pretty easy).
If we never traded before, you send first.
Most of my programs are commercial free (except for programs WITH ORIGINAL
COMMERCIALS) If you edit commercials, PLEASE make sure they are clean and
professionally edited. If not I'd prefer commercials left in. Recently I've
received several discs with sloppy edits or the disc was still recording while
the tape was being fast forwarded through the commercials. The latter is
absolutely unacceptable. Also Please do not use "stand alone" DVD
recorders to copy discs. (please copy via computer or replicator.)
I use Verbatim blank discs, and accept name brand discs (Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden,
TDK) no Office Max, Playo, or other substandard cheap brands. A good guide on
the quality of DVD blank media can be found HERE. Also
Please avoid writing directly on the disc (sticky notes are fine) I have a DVD
printer which I like to use once I get your discs.
Also if you have artwork please include it either on the disc or via e-mail.
I can
accept PAL or NTSC DVDs (I have a multi-standard monitor and like to try to
keep things in their native format) and ultimately prefer VIDEO instead of
DIVX, or DVDs converted from DIVX source.
Also I do have a DUAL LAYER burner. Because of cost considerations 1 DUAL LAYER
disc (DL DVD 9) = 2 single layer discs (DVD 5) I can also shrink any dual layer
discs (DVD9) down to a single layer disc (DVD5) if you want to a one for one
trade.
------NOTHING
TO TRADE?------
Because of time constraints I am unable to do "Blank and Postage"
trades at this time. However, there are plenty of Region 2 and other DVD's I am
looking for (originals please, no copies) I do this because not only does the
artist and producers get paid, but it also sends a message to the studios to
release more of these types of programs.
Also please
be aware that I do this as a hobby and my time is limited, so I can't trade
with everyone. However if you need help or are a "newbie" I can
certainly point you in the right direction to get started.
Also, (I HATE to have to mention this but because of
recent problems I guess I have to) if you are not of sound mind, or lack the
mental capacities to comprehend the basic fundamentals of trading or basic
polite, civil correspondence & interaction please do not contact me. I will
not reply to abusive or incoherent e-mails.
