But we noticed something very wrong: there's a lot of differences between the DVD episodes and the episodes from Kazaa. Here's what (and don't forget that we are talking about the 4 DVDs bundle of the First Stage): -In the episodes on Kazaa, when the opening credits rolls, you can hear the sounds of engines, screaming tires, shifting, "metallic" sound effect when the "Initial D" appears in the screen, etc... In the DVDs, none of the above... Only the music and the video... No sounds effects... -In the episodes on Kazaa (again) the subtitles are very clean and very well done... In the DVDs sometimes the characters speak and there's no subtitles for a couple of seconds... And sometimes they're all messed up (like 2 subtitles lines appearing at the same time one over the other and making them unreadable). They don't make sense either sometimes (like bad translation or something)... -Finallly, in the episodes on Kazaa, the audio of every episodes are clean and clear... But the DVDs episodes audio sounds very weird (not enough bass and low-quality sound) with a lot of echo... Not very good quality compared to what we saw on Kazaa... So basically she is very disapointed and would like to know WHERE on the net she can go to buy the DVDs with the same quality of the episodes we saw on the net? And by the way she didn't buy the DVDs from jackadeal... Thanks a lot for your help! BTW: Anybody have or had the problems described above or know what I'm talking about? |

I'll try to sent perry to this thread because he has another source that we sent people to but I don't remember the link. |

(Hi this is not Urobulus writing, I'm her friend Natascha) Can you check that on your dvds for me please? And for the others, can anybody confirmed that too? I really want to know if there's a place where I can buy them so they will be the same version I saw on Kazaa... Thanks a lot for the help guys!

IDW Jr. Member Group: Members Posts: 57 Member No.: 244 Joined: Feb 16th 2003 Location: Update Profile | You mean with the sounds in the opening sequence as describe in the episodes we saw on Kazaa? The same thing? Is it possible to have a REAL confirmation from someone? This post has been edited by Urobulus on Jan 11 2004, 07:10 AM |

IDW Jr. Member Group: Members Posts: 57 Member No.: 244 Joined: Feb 16th 2003 Location: Update Profile | Okay so just to be sure: if my friend (Natascha) order the DVDs from Jackadeal she is sure to receive the exact version as seen on Kazaa? (With sounds in the opening credits, good audio and video, no subs missing or wrong traduction, etc...)? Right? |
