Hi,
I purchased a DVD from Europe under the Platinum X Europe label. I know that Platinum X Europe is the European version of Platinum X Pictures (i.e. in the U.S.)

I know the DVD artwork cover can be different from the images depicted below, but my question is, Is the artwork label on the DVD itself the same as it is on the U.S. DVD version?

As the images show, it has the Italian flag over the European copy. Again would the artwork label on the DVD itself be the same as it is on the U.S. DVD version?

I don't know if all of the DVDs from Platinum X were produced in the U.S. and then when it came time to distribute and ship them, did they use a different DVD artwork cover (i.e. U.S. DVD artwork cover or a European DVD artwork cover) to indicate which DVDs were going to be shipped internationally or locally to be sold?

Appreciate any info on this!!!

While I cannot say anything about that DVD in particular, I'm always weary of the Platinum X "Italian" DVDs.

There are "Platinum X Europe", which have a red "Europe" below the "Platinum" text.

These DVDs often (almost every time) have double-sided cover, a "hard" and a "soft" variant (as can be seen above), but the DVD itself looks identical to their US counterparts.

They are in NTSC (not PAL), and have all the extras.


But the "Italian" ones often have
- different covers
- slightly edited to feature the Italian title (very crudely edited into the movie)
- most times Italian dubbing, and sometimes missing the original English audio track
- sometimes cut for length (if they are shrunk on a DVD5 instead of DVD9)
- other times, instead of standard DVD resolution 72 hex 480 (NTSC), they use the (also allowed by the standard) half resolution of 36 hex 480, which then gets stretched to full size.

With "Platinum X Europe", I never had any issue (with regards to content, if someone likes the french text ("Avec" instead of "with" in the image above)
But I'd stay clear of "Platinum X Italia"

Are the European versions of Hustler movies the same video resolution as the North American? Or is it 72 hex 576?
