Am looking for details on most 2 in 1 DVDs available at pakwebstore.com. A few questions :

1) Are there any OTHER online stores that offer 2 in 1 DVDs?

2) Which titles have been ripped from the originals? Could anyone provide a list of which versions have been ripped, and if these include subtitles? I am interested in the DDLJ/Pardes Combo but dont know if they have subs and special features.

3) Which ones have so far proven to have the best quality?

4) How long does a pakwebstore order take to ship? I placed an order 10 days ago but aside from the receipt I have received no other confirmation that my order has gone out.

5) I need info about the following titles :
a) Chandni /Lamhe Combo
b) Henna/Sanam Bewafa Combo
c) Hum Aapke Hain Kaun/Hum Sath Saath Hain Combo

THANKS!

I bought the KKHH / DTPH combo while I was in London recently. (from Southhall)

The quality of the picture and sound is brilliant.

But it is not a copy of the original yash raj release since there are no extra features at all.

These can't be exact replications.
For example, KNPH main feature hardly fits on a Single Sided Dual Layer DVD. Same for FIZA. So the 2 in 1 of this combination can't be an exact replication unless they used Double sided Dual Layer disc, which they didn't. Most likely, these are copied with a further MPEG_2 compression.

This compression thing was exactly what I was wondering about. How on earth did they manage to fit both K3G and Mohabbatein on the same one-sided disc? The pixellation must be terrible in that case!

Also, when pakwebstore was first posting on zulm, they also said that their 2 in 1 DVDs came with special features. Is this true? For example, would the 'Taal/HDDCS' or 'HAHK/HSSH' combos have the special features that were on the original DVDs? I am working under the assumption that these are rips of only the films and not the features.

For example, I was thinking about giving in and buying all the old Raj Kapoor 2 in 1s from them. Would these have the documentaries that feature on the original YRF discs?

Last question, would the Chandni/Lamhe combo disc be a rip from the original YRF versions?

Come on guys - how can you guys think that these 2 in 1 DVDs will have the same PQ as original. Take Lagaan and DCH for example. Lagaan did not even fit on a single sided dual layer disc in case of the original. It is on two disks (3hr 45 min total). Now Add DCH to it. Boy are we getting a VCD here or what? I' m sure even though they are ripped from originals, they must be using very low bit rates for encoding (around 1.5 or 2). PQ is going to be horrible.
As usual most of desi people won't mind. They don't mind camera prints on VHS so these DVDs will be considered great !!

:D :p

thing is with these 2 in 1s.. they are actually worth it.. in all honesty, why wud anyone pay £12 for shit movies such as Rishtay and Karz, when u get a 2 in 1 DVD of these movies, with excellent (but not outstanding) pq for £1... ok i agree classics such as Lagaan, DCH and many others shud be invested in, but for everyday bullshit movies, i dont see the point of investing any more especially with the price hikes!!

If they're bullshit movies, why buy them in the first place? Does getting it for cheaper make it a better film? I don't understand this or the mentality of, "Oh, that movie looks dumb, I'll wait to see it on DVD."

I personally am not shedding any tears for Ero$ if their DVDs are pirated, since their originals are of extremely poor quality, but if Ero$ films are pirated, that obviously means that DVDs from good companies like Columbia Tristar and DEI are pirated as well. Like I have said before, if the original is bad, why would you want an even more compressed version of it? And if the original is good, buy the original!

Agreed 100%.
Why u want to buy BS DVDs? and even if I want to buy (or even rent) BS DVDs I want great PQ - at least that should be a plus point.

i watch bullshit movies out of curiosity.... I wanted to watch Karz in particular for the songs and shilpa... but would not be prepared to pay the full whack price for a shit DVD.... Im not saying i have stopped buying full priced original DVDs.. majority of my dvds are originals... but 2 in 1s are a great way to watch crap movies and save ure pennies!!

Little correction Faddy Bhai ... the classics Lagaan and DCH should be bought original but when they are released by sh*t companies like Video Sound where the media stops playing after a couple of watches than 2in1s are the best ways to go. I read here on Zulm itself that someone bought 3 copies of DCH since its release because after each disc was watched a couple of times it fried :O

Lagaan original should be bought because it was made by a angrezi company which gave the film some justice. Movies from ERO$, VS, YashRaj (not all of them), Baba, Apollo etc etc everyone should stay away from and save thei hard earned money. If they want to buy than only buy these 2in1s or a pirate of the originals.
