It appears that VCX is using pressed discs again instead of DVD-R's. I just got Come With Me My Love from their most recent releases and it is a pressed disc not a DVD-R like they have been releasing for the last year.

That's good news. They don't have a lot that I want, but once in a while they put out something I'd like to add to the collection.

I'm surprised to hear they would commercially sell DVD-R discs. A lot of people still have trouble playing them.

You'd think it would be a bad business move, but they did for roughly a year. I'm glad they've gone back to pressed discs again.

Quick note to all: Excalibur rents, exchanges and sells a whole bunch of older, "golden age" titles (to which, it appears, they have acquired limited distribution rights) on DVD-Rs. They make no mention of their being DVD-Rs on their website, but, of course, a quick visual inspection of the "business" side of the disc will confirm it. In many cases, these are not genuine digital remasters, but merely transfers of their VHS duplication masters, dropouts, distortion and all!

Yup, Excalibur has a lot of the Wet Shot compilations for sale on dvd that VCA put out in the 80's and 90's.
No other site on the internet is selling the "Best Of" Ginger Lynn, Amber Lynn, Vanessa Del Rio, Erica Boyer etc.
Why would VCA allow Excalibur sell bad DVD-R copies of quality comilations like these boggles my mind. You would think that VCA would want to put these to dvd properly instead of letting someone sell inferior copies.
I really liked these and wish VCA would do them justice on DVD, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
It's a shame.

I've noticed that slowly over time the DVD-R's that Excalibur is selling are actually released by the owner. Several Arrow titles have come out in the last year that Excalibur sold their cheap versions of. Hopefully over time they will all see a real release.

burned<pressed but pressed is not cost effective for small runs. none<burned the real problem is when companies don't make it clear a disc is burned or when consumers don't pay attention. Think about all the disatisfied customers who find out they can't play dvds in their cd player or vcr.

My dvd player sometimes struggles with dvdr's so I was very pleased when my latest VCX purchase, Reflections , turned out to be a factory pressed disk.

With regard to small runs, I actually think a number of the VCX titles would have considerable cross-over appeal if they could locate quality masters and market them effectively.

Edited to add: I watched Reflections last night and the picture quality is excellent. Perhaps not as good as some of the classics released by Nu Tech but excellent nonethelss. Now, I don't know whether that's due to it being a pressed disc, some additional effort on the part of VCX or just the elements happening to be in very good shape. However, I've been quick to criticise in the past and should be equally willing to give credit. The F disk, which was also factory pressed if memory serves, also had a very good picture.
