i heard black markets in china use to sell of movies in VCD format just in theaters with relatively good clarity,someone would just walk in,sell it and go on.

known fact in the early 2000's,Canada use to be a leader in Clearly recorded bootleg movies because they would use a Tripod inside the movie theater.

enough so Hollywood threatened to release movies months later if it doesn't stop happening,There wasn't any Laws for bringing in video recording equipment inside at the time.

Asia was ahead of the curve on VCD players,later brands like Sony started supporting VCD & No One Had a damn clue what it was till later here in north america....DVD's were selling huge here ..i remember everyone purchasing day 1 releases cause it was so much better picture & sound than vcr tapes.....optical 5.1 and dts 5.1 was godsend
