Rana,
Great thread with definitive list of song dvd’s to own. I also request Ali to pin this thread so, all can post the information regarding any good or bad song dvd’s they know.
I have some information to share in this thread.
I have these EROS/B4u songs
1) EROS BLOCKBUSTER HITS VOL 1
2) EROS DANCE DHAMAKA

These are not in film mode but quality is ok, if any body wants to buy these songs and not able to buy EROS/DEI copy, I recommend these 2 dvd’s.

Dvd’s to avoid

1) Century khans’s Hits: Shit quality dvd
2) Naye Nagme Vol 6: same as above
3) Songs of Taal, Gang etc: Sound is Ok but the
picture is the worst.

It would be nice to have some kind of rating next to each dvd. I know it is again depends upon the display.

One more to add to the list of FILM SOURCE SONG DVDs is SOVEN's ONE TWO KA FOUR Song collection. It has about 40 odd songs from 1 2 KA 4, FARZ, etc. in 1.85:1 cropped. Quality is decent for a song DVD. Needless to say out of the dozen or so PIRATED SONG dvds I have not a single one is film source. :happy:
