Author Topic: DVD 'Property of the BBC' Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 03-01-2004 07:14 AM                     Just seen the following on uk.media.dvd: quote: > I bought a DVD on eBay and every 15 minutes or so the words "PROPERTY OF THE > BBC" appear in the top right corner. > > Would this be an illegally sold DVD? Should I send back? Which DVD? Sounds like a test or BBC in-house production or review disc. Ask the seller to explin why he never pointed that out. Is the cover legit? I suppose somebody is going to tell us that this was camcordered of a cinema screen.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-01-2004 05:04 PM                     Its a screener disc. Thats the samething that happens on most of the major studio screening discs. The newer ones from this last season of academy screeners may have different markings. But that is what most dub houses burn into the screening copies for the studios. Some will also be numbered copies, as to tell who was assigned to that number if copies start showing up else where.  |  IP: Logged
