This message was posted to the SaveCrusade list at Yahoo, by someone who has the VCD's. I,ve seen screencaps from these VCD's and the quality looks very good indeed:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR> I own both the British tapes and the VCDs, and got the latter from eBay. The packaging and content is exactly the same for both, from what I could determine, also the ep order which isn't quite the same as the airing order. Didn't compare the copyright notices on the actual tapes and VCDs, but if the VCDs are really the same release as the VHS tapes, just on a different medium it would make sense that they're the same. They wouldn't want to spend a lot of money just to change one word in the copyright notice I guess.
When I got them, the VCDs were shrink-wrapped and the cover was closed with one of these stickers which you almost can't get away, with the WB logo. There's also a note on the back of the VCDs saying, Distributed exclusively for Warner Home Video through Alliance Entertainment Singapore Pte Ltd." They also give their website
www.all-entertainment.com.sg. Oh and there's a sticker on the covers from the Board of Film Censors, Singapore.
I don't have any experience with pirated material, but I must say with all this, plus considering the slightly better quality of the VCDs compared to the VHS tapes, it seems very unlikely to me they're pirated. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
