| M.B. Senior Member 1679 Posts 2/01 | Just saw Digital Sin's Super Naturals and have to say I'm extremely disappointed. Tons of pixelation and artifact. Erotica XXX and the Anal Trainer series had great quality discs, all of DS's stuff looked great up until now. Did they switch authorors? I also noticed that their past few releases have had some questionable editing as well, but that can be overlooked. However, the pixelation on Super Naturals is brutal. If a girl is riding a guys cock and her tits are flopping around you see a lot squares and bluriness Any quick movement will result in bluriness and pixelation. What happened to this once great company? [Link] |
| Wodgers Member 414 Posts 7/04 | "Pixelation" occuring on "quick movement" (especially when big natural tits are flopping around!!!) can be caused by a cheap bootleg copy, burnt from the original dvd-9 disc to a dvd-5 disc : the bigger the original dvd-9 disc is, the more pixelated the dvd-5 copy gets, due to file compression. It happened to me with a few Evil Angel discs that I rented at my local store. I complained and got my money back. |

| Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | I'm not saying that this particular disc is a bootleg (given the fact that it's just been released, it's extremely likely that it's not). Digital Sin is asking people who receive one of these pirated discs to contact them. The article has some info on how to identify them (pixelization, caused by overcompression is one of those ways). |

| M.B. Senior Member 1679 Posts 2/01 | I've been renting porn for 15 years and know a bootleg when I see one. I was at the store when the owner was cracking the discs open and putting them out of the shelf. They were all shrink wrapped as they usually are. And the disc looks exactly as a Digital Sin disc should look. A lot of people think that the stores here in Canada only stock Canadian versions, nothing is farther from the truth. The reality is that no one here wants to rent of buy the edited Canadian versions, so the stores mostly stock US titles they get through 2 or 3 big distributors that bring in only US stuff. They have much bigger operations than the Canadian companies that edit because their titles are in much higher demand. Also, Canadian versions are easy to spot because they all have their own logo on the box and they also redesign the box covers, change the pictures a bit to try and make it look different. 90% of the DVD's on the shelves here in Toronto are US versions. The Canadian versions don't do well here because people know they are edited, of bad quality, and they are usually released 2 months after the US versions are already on the shelves and available. The stores only keep a little bit of the edited versions in stock to keep the Canadian companies happy and off their backs. Edited by - M.B. on 8/2/2004 12:06:50 AM |

| M.B. Senior Member 1679 Posts 2/01 | But I noticed on their previous 6 or so releases that there was no time marked for the chapters. There was a running time from the start of the movie, but if you wanted to know how much time had elapsed in the movie or a chapter, you would get "NO TEXT/TIME" on your display. |

| porn editor New Member LA 5 Posts 8/04 | I have also noticed that NS is not releaseing as many title's a month as they used too... it seams like last year at this time NS was release 4 titles a week and the DVD quaity was top notch... now NS is realeaseing 2 a week and the DVD quaity is down.. I think that DS movies rock. I have not seen any change in their product.. M.B. does your DVD player Have progresive scan that could be your problem. |

| porn editor New Member LA 5 Posts 8/04 | I will tell you what is wrong with Digital Sin DVD's. Have you looked at the dates of production as of late, more specifically their latest release Ass Angels #3. Most of the scenes in this title are from the year 2000!!! Yes, I said the year 2000. Look on the boxcover and see for yourself. I have noticed that on some of their other newer releases, they mix in and old scene or two, and they always have horrible picture quality. The problem is not with dubbed copies or DVD players, its that Digital Sin no longer cares to make a quality video for the consumer. Digital Sin came on strong for the past 6 months or so, and now they have digressed to the bottom of the pile so to speak. Not only that, but their boxcovers are the worst in the industry at misleading the consumer as to what scenes to expect to see. I would say on average you can expect to not see around 40% of the particular positions shown on their boxcovers. I used to love Digital Sin, specifically Johnny Darko and JYLC. Ever since J.D. left, Digital Sin has been on a downward spiral, and I wont even rent their stuff anymore, unless its JYLC.

| MLyons Senior Member 1617 Posts 8/02 | I'm afraid I'm not up on their VERY latest discs though, so I can't comment on any artifacting on the Super Naturals disc that M.B. cites. |

| QuinnRoberts LFP/Hustler Video California 6 Posts 8/04 | Erotica XXX and the Anal Trainer series had great quality discs, all of DS's stuff looked great up until now. Did they switch authorors?" M.B., this might just be an anomaly. I used to be in charge of post production over at DS and as far as I know the pipeline is the same. Products like Anal Trainer and EroticaXXX were very high quality, I would imagine recent releases would be comparable. I know they are committed to high production values. A long run time on a show could lead to increased compression artifacts. Myself, one editor and the DVD designer/authorer are now working for LFP/Hustler Video. We left NS/DS around March. It might not be your cup of tea content wise, but if you get a chance, check out Hustler Taboo, released earlier this week. The menu design, sound and overall video quality will give you an idea of the direction our products are heading. Quinn Roberts |

| MLyons Senior Member 1617 Posts 8/02 | "DS Director" does post here occasionally, but my understanding is that he doesn't check the forum that often. And even if he did, with attitudes like that I wouldn't blame him for not wanting to respond. With a little research, there are ways to contact DS directly with concerns, but to expect them to follow every thread on every internet forum where people feel like complaining about their product is just silly. You're welcome to criticize, but let's be realistic about expecting a response... Edited by - MLyons on 8/5/2004 2:55:36 PM |

| Tyrone Shuz New Sensations / Digital Sin 29 Posts 8/04 | We are not slipping in quality. All of out DVDs are 9's regardless of run time so we can put them at the highest possible compression rate for the best image quality. We have full BTS segments and bonus scenes on every release. I still shoot as much as I ever have. My great friend Jonni Darkko may not be with us but Axel Braun is doing a GREAT job himself. Have you read his reviews of Double Teamed here? Check them out. Also our contract director/performer Joachim Kessif just received Editor's Choice for Black In The Ass 3. Director/performer Dillon just released Ass Crackin with Dasha in an amazing non-condom anal, squirting scene. DDF product is under New Sensations. It is licensed as scenes, edited and released. They have never been released before and it is not recycled. We have slowed down on releasing this product in favor of Jean Yves LeCastel, Joachim Kessif and Dillon shooting the newest, hottest girls. But if you don't have a collection with some of those DDF models, you should. There are some amazing girls. Super Naturals defect?. MB let me know where this happens. We pulled a copy to check it out and don't see this pixelization. If you can tell me what girl and where in the scenes it happens we will look at it again immediately. Just so you are aware, the pirating we are experiencing is rampant. It is produced at a factory and not in someone's back yard. If anyone has a problem with one of our discs and thinks it is possible it might be pirated then just write me and I will ask specific information to determine it. The more info I get the more I can rip the balls of this asshole. Yes it comes from Canada but can also read MADE IN ITALY on the inner ring. We are releasing less titles per week because we stopped distributing Misty Rain, Real Sex Magazine, Northstar, Zaye Entertainment and Boardwalk. We also slowed down on feature productions. This is all in favor of releasing a more focused line of products. So that when you get DS or NS products you know what to expect. HARDCORE ALL SEX PRODUCT. The occasional feature is still high end from James Avalon or Kovi. Axel Braun also has plans to do a big budget feature in the future. This would be along the lines of Compulsion which took all the AFW awards. To say that quality was better with more releases than it is now....well I disagree. As far as 3 people leaving. Only one of them did DVD authoring. He was replaced and we use the same equipment and it goes through the same approval process. There should be no noticeable change in anything we do. We have recently spent a lot of time on Groupie Love which is hosted by mega rapper 50cent, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck. 17 girls, Plaything style POV sex, 3 full sex scenes, etc etc etc. We got the project because of the quality of what we release. It shows in this product as well as our others. Enough doom and gloom guys. That possible pixelization on one title can generate this much attention means we must be doing real well with our fans with the majority of releases. I am here always to address comments and concerns - WRITE ME. The company is nothing without your support no matter how much I like our product. I count on you guys to praise and bitch accordingly. If you think we are slipping WRITE ME or tell me to check out the posts. I don't hang out on the boards although I will try to more often but I have to run this place. LOL. |

| astroknight Questionable Moderator Tastes so good... 4187 Posts 11/99 | And although I haven't watched the title in question, I do have to agree that DS's all sex movies have been looking better lately than they ever have! I'm actually looking forward to what DS is putting out now more than I ever have.

| Coyote Member Daylight Savings Time, is it really Necessary? 972 Posts 3/04 | I have seen many of your films and I have reviewed some of them as well. I have just recieved a few new titles and I would like to just say that I Wish you guy's would include a cast list . It would make things a lot easier for both reviews and for just everyday consumers. Also perhaps a filmography of the cast. Thanks! |

| Tyrone Shuz New Sensations / Digital Sin 29 Posts 8/04 | Kessif will soon release a title "Toxic Anal" which has BTS. I will pass along this suggestion for his Black In The Ass series. |

| astroknight Questionable Moderator Tastes so good... 4187 Posts 11/99 | Scene 1: Performers A & B Scene 2: Performers C, D, & E etc. Another alternative to this which I really like is to have the chapter menu list the performers in each scene. I like how DS is giving you a choice between the tease and the start of the action in most of their movies, and think this could be tweaked a little into two screens per scene, one of which shows who's in the scene. I don't think I'm alone in picking up certain movies because of specific stars, and when I do that I sometimes like to go directly to the scene with that star. Without some kind of cast listing by scene, either as a separate screen or integrated into the chapter menu, it's a pain!

| M.B. Senior Member 1679 Posts 2/01 | The picture is crisp and clear with no visible artfact or pixelation. The time is marked for all the chapters like it used to be before. Great looking disc and a really good movie. |

| Gaped Crusader Member Orlando 58 Posts 2/04 | they must be doing some thing right.. 8/12/2004 Two of the ten Editor's Choice picks in the August 2004 issue of the industry's most prestigous trade publication, AVN Magazine, belong to New Sensations/Digital Sin, making them the company with the most movies on this month's list as a testament to how the company's popularity continues to ascend. "Girl Crazy 2," reviewed by MIKE RAMONE, gets a content rating of four and a half A's out of five. "The opening credits alone are enough to give one a stiffie," writes RAMONE. "All five scenes in this all-pussy party rock like a motherfucker as pairs of extremely hot porn whores do each other with fingers,ongues and hardware, tossing in generous amounts of such hard-edge accouterments as cavernous gape, spitting, choking, hardware d.p.s, V-8 action, etc., etc." RAMONE goes on to say that the movie should be a heavy contender for AVN Award nominations in the categories of Best All-Girl Feature, Best Director (Non-Feature), and three of the movie's romps for Best All-Girl Sex Scene -- FLICK SHAGWELL and LILY THAI, SABRINE MAUI and BROOKE MILANO, and BECCA BRAT with NIKKI NITE. "Black in the Ass 3," reviewed by MARC STAR, receives four out of five A's. STAR pre-noms the movie for Best Anal-Themed Feature and Best Anal-Themed Series. "Let the gaping anal fanatics know that the girls in this video get plunged and stretched until their gaping assholes can be used for target practice," pens STAR. "These foreign babes endure d.p.s, perform A2Ms and are basically treated like mindless fuck dolls. The asses in this hot interracial video simply get destroyed." "Girl Crazy 2" and "Black in the Ass 3" are now available on VHS and DVD at www.NewSensations.com and www.DigitalSinDVD.com. |
