DWW - About DVD-R

DVD from DWW

Fight over how to treat a DVD

All DWW video titles available on DVD cost US$ 32.00 each.

All DVDs from DWW are available in either the PAL (Europe) or NTSC (North America, Japan, etc.) system. Please let us know which system you use, when ordering. All DVDs are recorded with country code 0 (zero), so that they will play anywhere in the world, so long as the correct system (NTSC or PAL) operates in that country.

DVDs from DWW are available in DVD-R format only. DVD-R format plays in 99% of available consumer DVD players, and in 100% of DVD players made since early 2002. However, if you use an old DVD player from the first generation, you should check first that it can play DVD-R format. Please check with the manual or retailer.

Of course all DVDs, whether PAL or NTSC system, will also play on all computers with a DVD drive which can play DVD-R format. Most, if not all, computer DVD drives can play DVD-R format, but please check your manual first to avoid disappointment.

DWW will not accept returned DVDs or refund your money if you have ordered them for the wrong format or system.

Various online magazines publish up-to-date lists of DVD compatibility. You may look at these links to see if a DVD player is compatible with the DVD-R format used by DWW.

Legal Note
In the USA, ownership of a video tape is covered by the "doctrine of first use", which allows legal resale of an original video tape. This is not the case with DVD. The signal on a DVD is software, and is subject to additional laws, including the Digital Millenium Copyright Act 1998. Of course, just as with a video, unauthorised copying, distribution, public performance, broadcast, in whole or in part, are strictly prohibited. In addition, unauthorised hire, resale, lending and exchange are also strictly prohibited. So, besides other restrictions, you may not legally resell, lend (even to a friend), exchange (even with a friend), hire or rent a DWW DVD without the express written permission of DWW, which reserves all its rights worldwide. The software, images and sounds on a DWW DVD remain the sole property of DWW Handelsges.m.b.H. and such software is licensed for domestic use only by a single user. Persons offering DWW DVDs for resale or hire without permission are subject to both criminal prosecution and civil lawsuit. Infringement is a Federal offense in the USA and also a criminal offence in most countries.
