       General Information

    Before ordering, please be aware that the DVDs we sell are NOT commercially-
    produced recordings. These Television Programs are not currently available
    commercially on DVD in the United States or Canada. The DVDs that are listed
    here have been thoroughly researched and to our knowledge have been found
    to be in the Public Domain. We do not sell factory items that are currently avail-
    able in the US and Canada. These television programs are from our personal
    collection and have never been purchased from a commercial source. Our master
    prints originate from various sources and have been built over the years through
    trades and purchases from other Classic TV fans' private collections. If anyone
    comes across a DVD being sold here that they own the rights to, please Notify Us
    with a cease and desist notification immediately along with credentials, proof of
    ownership, and information necessary to contact you to our e-mail address and
    we will promptly remove the collection. The entire purpose of this website is to
    provide otherwise unavailable television shows to the serious collector.

       These Shows have not been commercially released,
      How is it possible that you sell them?

    All of the titles in our collections are NOT available COMMERCIALLY on DVD
    the U.S. or Canada and are believed to be in Public Domain. There is a section
    of the American copyright law known as "The Berne Act" that clearly states: films
    unreleased in the United States, including original versions of films altered and/or
    edited for release in the United States, are NOT protected by American copyright;
    thus, they are considered PUBLIC DOMAIN. There was a Supreme Court ruling
    on this when the Church re-edited films (removing sexual content etc.) and sold
    them to their congregations and this was deemed legal.

    Berne Copyright Convention still holds for most countries, the United States in
    year 2000 saw the adoption of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA),
    this law was so broad that interpreted literally even using your TiVo is a crime.
    The DMCA had basically a response to the growing ease of duplicating and
    transmitting digitally recorded media. It was written to stop the pirating by any
    means existing and attempted to protect against any technology that might be
    invented. Yet again, it is legal for the Church to do it.

    For the most part we see all these steps as positive. The studios have the right and
    obligation to take steps to protect its products and future. As we are old TV
    program fans we also want to make sure that they are able to continue to produce
    fine TV shows (and the ones we love as well.) Our only problem is that they made
    no distinction between the guy trying to make an almost forgotten, or long begged
    for, television programs available and the criminal mass producing newly released
    movies while they are still in the theatres.

    We sellers help shape entire genres by bringing them to the people, building an
    audience and showing that a true commercial venture is viable. It has always been
    our contention that we act as what the business world calls "Point of Presence."
    We keep the item in people's minds and remind them that they liked it. And you
    can bet that almost anyone that pays for a TV-to-VHS-to-DVD conversion of their
    favorite old TV show WILL pay for the real thing just as soon as someone decides
    there is a market for it.

       The Gray Area
       *Copies of DVDs released in the US or Canada over ten years ago and we can't
        find for sale anywhere. Meaning they are now Out-of-Print (OOP)
       *Copies of DVDs released and immediately recalled.

       What is the Compatibility of these Collections?

    These collections are created on high quality DVD-R discs and are Region Free
    (NTSC, Region 0). This means that they are playable on most standalone DVD
    players worldwide, PlayStation 2, X-Box, and all computers that have DVD
    playback software installed with a DVD-ROM drive.

             Compatibility Troubleshooting:

         Why is there no sound or the sound is garbled or hissing noises are present?
       Some early production DVDs may have very low or even no sound. This is not
       considered a manufacturing default.

       If you are having sound problems, garbled, hissing etc. you can go to the settings
       on your player and enable the MPEG audio, usually PCM & MPEG rather than
       just PCM. If this does not work then the best course of action is to contact us
       and we will sort it out for you. If it is indeed a manufactured faulty disc, we will
       arrange a return for exchange.

        Why the movie pauses for a while when played?
       When the disc reader tries to access a different sector on the disc, it may trigger
       a slight pause which usually last less than 1 second. This is not a defect and it is
       common to many DVDs.

        The DVD that I just received won't play. What's wrong?
       The cause of this can be due to the DVD or DVD player. Quite often the cause
       of this can be due to discs that have been handled incorrectly (i.e. fingerprints
       or scratches on the read surface, discs forcibly removed from their casing causing
       cracks). It is most unusual for a disc to be faulty in any way when manufactured.
       There are rare instances of faulty batches which usually result in product recalls.
       It is therefore imperative that you check for any of these problems before
       contacting us.

    Occasionally discs have been found to not be compatible with certain DVD
    players especially older players and very expensive models, which is why we
    encourage our customers to first check any problem discs on another brand of
    player or their computers to ensure that it is indeed a problem with the disc itself.

       How are the Episodes organized for these Collections?

    The Episode List on a Collection's Details Page will list all of the episodes in the
    order in which they appear on the actual DVD collection. Most collections have
    been compiled in chronological order.

___________________________________________________________________________

      What is your Source for your Collections?

    A Collection's source may vary even episode to episode. The various sources
    include, but are not limited to, VHS transfers and Digital Files. A VHS transfer
    is when a show or episode is taken from a VHS tape recording and converted
    to a digital or DVD file. Digital files include DivX, XviD, MOV, RM, RMVB,
    MPEG, WMV, AVI, VOB, and MPEG-4 formatted videos.

       What does the Quality Rating for a Collection mean?

    The quality of a Collection is based on an average of both the video and audio
    quality of the episodes from a given collection. Episodes of a single show may
    come from various sources which may affect the quality rating. As these Collections
    are NOT DIGITALLY RE-MASTERED, they may include station logos and banners
    from the original source. We do try to get the best quality available for each of
    our Collections. Our Quality Rating is based upon the Originally Aired Program
    not just in comparison to what is available from collectors.

                 Excellent - Between 9.6 to 10.0 out of 10.0
