Why did Vivid BUTCHER such a great movie when they put it on DVD? They took out whole scenes from the movie.

Does anyone know if Vivid plans to release the "whole VHS version" of Ancient Secrets of the Kama Sutra movie on DVD?

Vivid has got to be one of the stupidedst companies out there to do such a thing. Their only hope of redemption is to re-release the DVD in its complete version.

Check out any listing of recent releases and you'll quickly realize that Vivid's bread and butter is the compilation. In other words, hacking up movies is what they do for a living.

I couldn't agree more. There's a great Mark Davis/Kobe Tai scence in Lethal Affairs that ain't on the DVD. A disgrace.

I complained to them about it and this is their response:

Vivid DVD's are not always exactly the same as the Video from which they are duplicated. For various reasons, licensing, release restrictions etc. some scenes may be replaced or removed in the DVD version. Regardless, you can always count on 4 hours of the highest quality adult material available on each and every Vivid DVD.

I think their DVDs on the whole are a rip-off. The extras are the same title for title and are only 20 second clips.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience, liam. Vivid has disappointmented me, as well. My average review rating on Vivid titles is 2.5 stars, with nothing above 3.5 stars. It's a shame, because the first adult movie I ever saw was Ashlyn Rising. I did like that one, and I still think I might buy the DVD just for nostalgia purposes.

It'll be interesting to see whether I still feel the same way about Ashlyn Rising now that I'm much more experienced. I'm probably lucky I saw the hotel version rather than the VHS version; less chance for further disillusionment that way.

"4 hours of the highest quality adult material available" my ass.

I'm never buying another Vivid release again. Butcher your DVDs and you can forget about me buying your releases.

Do you have Ancient Secrets on VHS? A store near me has it for sale for $19.95 plus tax.

My understanding is that most of the older Vivid titles were mastered from the VCDs they put out when that seemed like the big porn frontier on computers. So every movie had to be cut to 74 minutes or less, and the picture quality is quite poor.

Nostalgia is the only reason to buy one of these pieces of crap. Newer titles are real DVDs, with real extras. But the early DVD market was so flooded with this shit that they've never been able to live it down. Their own fault, of course.
