I've seen those multiple movies-per-DVD discs before.
About half of them contained different movies than what the packaging
indicated. Many of the movies weren't even in English - they were dubbed
in French, German, or other languages, with fixed subtitles you couldn't
turn off (sometimes, the subtitles weren't in English either.) Some titles
were obviously filmed on a handicam in a theater. Mmmm...nothing says
"quality" like hearing the camera operator snoring into the mic. Speaking
of quality, DVD these ain't. They're essentially highly compressed and
re-encoded VCDs, making VHS tape look pristine by comparison.
I can almost understand buying garbage like this when you were back in
Afghanistan, but in the US? There's no reason to pirate, unless you're just
a scum bag. As I mentioned previously, many libraries will rent DVD - even
new releases - for free and unlike these crummy 6-movies-crammed-on-a-disc,
they look tons better AND are legal!
