International version of the movies in the dvds.

Post by ThiagoPE »

Hi Guys.

Im creating this topic to ask about something I perceived in our (brazilian) dvds, and i also know if the same happens in your country (please specify your country if you don´t have made it in your profile) and what is your opinio about that:

Here, the frist dvds from disney doesn´t allow audio and angle change, but, the movies in it international version has the title, the texts, and the local credits inside the movies (it was an angle option, because that you can´t change both audio and angle).
Now, the dvds alow audio change, but doesno´t have the title, the text and the local credits in the movie any more! the title in our language apper before the movie begins and inside the movie just the english title apper, all the texts in the movie are in english (they put a subtitle showing it in the local language) and the local credits apeers after the end of the original credits of the movie.

So, i think that our dvds are losing it "nationaty" in the national versions.

Yesterday i saw the broher bear in the cinema and the titles and the credits was in portguese, but im sure that the dvd will not have it. :-(

I know that my explanation are a bit confuse, i will try to take some photos to show you what im trying to explain.

OK

Yes. I know what you mean. Disney US still does it now. It was/is done using Angles. They just prohibit the control.

I was surprised that my few French DVD's didn't do this - especially when R1 DVDs still do this. I don't know if European DVDs ever did this.

Hmm, actually, I think all the American DVDs released since "Beauty and the Beast" don't show the international title cards. The same here in Brazil, and I believe it happens in all the countries. Before, we had the international title cards, but we couldn't change the audio while watching the film. Now, we can change the audio, but we lost the traslated cards. :(

I haven't tried on the new DVD's to be honest. Beauty and the Beast couldn't really do it because they were using the angles for the WIP version.

I know the recent Studio Ghibli releases did (although Spirited Away was 'bugged' on most - or all - players.)
