I wrote this review after getting 2 copies of the DVD through Amazon (The 2nd one being a replacement for what I believed was a defective copy) but both had the same problem. I had also ordered their Hahaha DVD and it matched the Prime image, so this isn't a problem with all of their DVDs. Asian Crush finally responded to me on their Facebook page with this: " - these DVDs are authored by Amazon using the same video file we provide them for streaming, so there shouldn't be a discrepancy like the one you noticed. My guess is that an error occurred during the DVD authoring process, and I am afraid we have no control over Amazon's quality assurance process. If you are not happy with the product, I suggest you to request an exchange or refund via Amazon. We will also contact Amazon as content partners to make sure the issue is fixed in the future." I tried it out on various players and its definitely a problem with the authoring, it looked horrid on a widescreen TV. Here are screencaps of the Prime image and the DVD image.The Fanciful Norwegian wrote:This customer review of Oki's Movie doesn't sound too promising:
"The DVD image is different from what I watched on Amazon Prime. It's been zoomed in and stretched and generally looks awful. I'm not sure why the image is so different but Asian Crush won't respond to any emails. The movie is good and deserves to be seen as intended. The Prime version is fine but avoid this DVD."
Maybe the disc isn't correctly flagged for 16:9 (an easy fix) and s/he was watching on a 4:3 set, in which case it would be stretched--but that wouldn't account for zooming.
