The Neverending Story III Spain Imported Blu-ray BOOTLEG

Postby Paul_Rudoff » 16 Jul 2023 22:23

* Title: The Neverending Story III: Escape from Fantasia (1994) - http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/f ... ?fid=35919
* Country: Spain
* Region: A/B/C
* Releasing Studio: Resen
* Case Type: Keep Case
* Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
* Codec: AVC MPEG-4
* Picture: 1080i/50fps
* Soundtracks: Spanish Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo, English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Stereo.
* Subtitles: Spanish, English, and Portuguese.
* Cuts/Runtime: 1:31:10 (presumably comes from a PAL source, as the NTSC Echo Bridge DVD runs 1:35:22)
* Extras: None.
* Notes: The opening titles and credits of the movie are in the original German, the end credits are in English. The Blu-ray menu in in Spanish, but it's really easy to figure out as there only three options: Play Movie, Languages, and Scene Selections. IMPORTANT: Some copies are actual factyory-pressed discs and some are recorded BD-Rs. The case artwork of each version are nearly identical, but the BD-R will say "BD-R" in small print under the Blu-ray logo on the front cover, and in the bottom right corner of the back cover (to the left of the UPC barcode, which is the same on both: 8436558195301). It will also say "BD-R" on the disc face.
* Easter Eggs: None
* Amazon ASIN: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N65UXGV/
* Source: Disc I own.

I can personally confirm that Amazon Marketplace seller "Sharehouse Goods" sold me a used factory-pressed disc (I think I bought their only one) and that DaaVeeDee via Amazon-fulfilled sells BD-Rs. The only other Marketplace seller who told me that they are selling factory-pressed discs is "ArcoCeleste DVD". Everyone else on Amazon and eBay either didn't know or confirmed BD-Rs.

The picture quality of the movie is fantastic, and there are lots of details on the artwork that tell me this is legit and not a bootleg. Just make sure to get a factory-pressed disc and not a BD-R.

I took a lot of photos that may be of use to you:

Since it's a bootleg, we won't be adding it here but keeping the info for reference. Thank you!
