What do the video source quality ratings on DVD-R titles mean?

DVD-R titles listed on this site are from a collection of the best and most difficult to find cinematic rarities we hope you will enjoy as much as we do. All titles are transferred from extremely rare sources (i.e. old TV broadcasts, film to video transfers, foreign imports) that have never been released to the American (and/or International) public, or they are out of print. No rights are given or implied for all titles we reproduce. Please be aware that we are the only source for many titles, and for extremely hard to obtain works (ex. old tv broadcasts) the quality may not be absolutely perfect. For this reason, we give every title we sell a quality rating.


Quality Ratings Breakdown:
[A] Excellent -- Taken directly from a master source with very sharp picture and audio.
[B] Very Good/Good -- Generally has strong picture and audio, with slight loss.
Mainly 1st or 2nd generation copies and PAL/Secam transfers.
[C] Good/Fair --More often than not, these are 3rd generation copies.
Picture quality could be soft or have some glitches, but is overall watchable.


All DVD-Rs purchased at 5minutestolive.com will come in a black snap case, with custom full color cover art. The title of the film will be printed on the face of the disc.

What does the region code NTSC region 0 mean?  

This means that there is no region code (any country can play these region free discs), regardless if it's an NTSC machine or a *PAL machine.
*Almost all DVD players sold in PAL countries play both kinds of discs (NTSC & PAL). These multi-standard players partially convert NTSC to a 60-Hz PAL (4.43 NTSC) signal. The player uses the PAL 4.43-MHz color subcarrier encoding format but keeps the 525/60 NTSC scanning rate. Most modern PAL TVs can handle this "pseudo-PAL" signal.

What is the difference between DVD and DVD-R?  
DVD stands for Digital Versatile/Video Disc, DVDR stands for DVD Recordable. If you're familiar with regular audio/music CDs or regular DVD-Video discs, then you will know what a recordable DVDR looks like. A recordable DVDR stores up to 2 hours of very good quality DVD-Video, including subtitles, chapter breaks, and extra features that can be played by many standalone DVD Players and most computer DVD-ROMs. We ask that you check the compatibility of your player before buying.
