Yesterday I received a shipment of several Red Light dvds I ordered online and all of them were in these cheesy looking transparent keepcases. Question are these from the factory or DVD-R copies? I ask because I have never seen a "clear" keepcase before and I have 100+ dvds.

Note: The artwork seemed fine. Somewhat pasted on sloppy, yet fine.

A few companies are using these cases. Aside from RLD, DVSX and Digital Sin immediately come to mind.

I know that RLD it taking advantage of the clear case by printing double sided inserts that can be seen when the case is opened.

I don't know if you got copies or not. But the fact that you got clear cases is definitely not an indication that they are. DVD-R's are easy to identify by looking at the data side of the disc. Burned discs have a purple tint to them, instead of the silver or gold tint that regular DVD's have.

Just look at the disc to see if it's a DVD-/+R.

I certainly wouldn't mind getting XXX discs in transparent cases because then I could take those cases and put the discs and leaflets in boring old black cases that I have dozens of. It's difficult to find transparent DVD boxes en masse in stores :D. The boring old black/dark brown ones are everywhere, but transparent ones are rare, unfortunately...
