Eureka Movies - Has anyone tried them?

[digital-mann]

I am curious about the quality of the Eureka Movies. Is the video and audio quality good? (Better then home made VCDs?) Is it a reliable vendor?

Thanks.

A late reply for you digital-mann but better than none at all...

I've ordered three times from Eureka in the past few months, and they've all arrived safely within a week (I'm in the UK). So I'm happy to recommend them on that count.

The quality seems fine to me (apart from a possible prob with Planet of the Apes, about which I've posted a separate question). They are much better than home made VCDs of similar bitrates, but that's just my opinion.

If you sit right close to the telly and search for blocks you will find them, but you shouldn't notice them from the comfort of your sofa. To be honest, I was surprised how good they really are...

They are less than half the price of the DVD version (in UK anyway). A bit more expensive than renting the DVD and ripping it to VCD, but none of the hassle and you stay legal.

If you're still interested, I'd definitely say give them a try...
