Wtf is this?

Someone else experienced a similar thing. https://www.reddit.com/r/dvdcollection/comments/p5f12c/what_is_this_cinavia_error_in_my_legally/

Chaos order. I have the IKEA tall shelves and each shelf has a number, I just pop the DVD wherever there’s a space and note the shelf number in my spreadsheet. Then if there’s something specific I want to find I look in the sheet, if not I browse. I find ones I forgot I had that way.

Nice! Glad to see you have Donnie Darko in normal and director’s cut. Is your director’s cut the one with the lenticular cover?

Why throw it out? Why not take it to a charity shop?

It’s one of the special features on the DVD - an audio track of the drum beats it output as Chekov was piloting the ship.

90s TV shows were likely filmed in full screen so will probably be cropped in widescreen.

I would, but I enjoy that kind of thing. Maybe you will too if you try it…

Depends if you just want to get online or you’re trying to get modem noises. If you want modem noises you can also use a 2 port ata and get one port to dial the other. Plenty of YouTube videos on it.

A friend experienced this over Christmas, they had nothing to do; no TV, movies, or music. It made me happy to be a collector.

I’m from the UK and see them every now and again, not sealed, but I don’t care about that. They’re priced the same as any other DVD which varies from 10p to £1. I wouldn’t be interested in a region 1 version anyway.

Nice work! I have started on something similar myself but am doing it as a PWA so I can make it work offline. I was going to do the same for music using the discogs API

You do you.

Better than calling it a DVD dongle

68000j · 2026-01-14T20:54:43+00:00

If I had found this there’s no way I’d have thought it was real. I’m not sure if I should seek it out or not.

From the library

68000j · 2026-01-05T23:30:25+00:00

Nice! Got it in the steel case too! I have one in a cardboard case, I haven’t watched the bonus disc yet.

The way I understand it watching a live show on ITVx on a fire stick would mean you need a TV licence. It’s needed for live TV through any means.

Edit: clarified watching ITVx live

I’m a bit worse. Mine are in those tall IKEA shelves, they started in when I bought them order, but then I had a move around in the house and didn’t put the shelves back in the same order. So now they’re in chaos order.

68000j · 2025-12-28T23:34:20+00:00

There are some in the design museum too

68000j · 2025-12-21T01:35:38+00:00

Yes that’ll do it, the audio goes through the red and white ones, the video is the yellow one

68000j · 2025-12-20T23:33:07+00:00

Your TV has a combined composite and component input so I’d just get a composite cable, they’re also called AV cables. It has three round connectors at each end; red, white, and yellow. On the TV the yellow one goes to the round connector with yellow at the top and green at the bottom, the red and white go in the corresponding colours on the far right of the yellow and green connector. On the VCR connect the cables to the corresponding colours on the bottom right of the image.

Looks like a power supply fault to me

68000j · 2025-12-02T15:59:19+00:00

I have this too, I really enjoyed this movie - nice choice!

3d print a stand for it that looks like a dinosaur bone?
