    A DVD Screener is the same thing as a VHS Screener but VHS is outdated now so they moved on hince better Q in a DVD Screener...same thing most the time as a retail DVD but will have "Property of BLAH BLAH MONKEY ASS" or "If you have bought this copy please call 1-800-im-a-retard-for-calling-this-number" DVD Scr are sent to like Stores or Magazines or Finezines and stuff for Reviews but sometimes (more than often) get leaked onto the internet. gotta love it

    Yes, it's a rip from a screener copy. Quote from the Glossary...

    Screener -
    A video usually recorded form a promotional video tape or DVD which is sent to censors and film critics etc. The quality is usually as good as a commercial video or DVD. Sometimes a copyright message appears on the screen.

    That's a newb question, have you really been a member since Sept. 2001?
