myrarefilms.co.uk

I was wanting to ask are the discs from myrarefilms.co.uk real discs and have the copies that own the old these old films and tv shows given this website permission to release them on DVD. myrarefilms.co.uk is a website that releases old movies and tv shows that have not yet been released on DVD.

The home page of the site of which you have given the address has an "About Us" link at the bottom. This takes one to the following text:

My Rare Films is a collectors resource providing films and programmes that have never been released officially, or are out of copyright and therefore considered to be in the public domain.

If an item is known to be owned or otherwise, please contact MRF and the item will be removed from the site immediately.

What you will receive when you place an order:

A white top printable dvd-r disc containing the film or programme you have ordered. There is no artwork, no box just a disc in lined paper sleeve with the title and the year of release written on it.

Please do not expect them to be of high digital quality as many films are transferred from vhs tape recordings or off-air tv broadcasts. Each item on the site has an approximate quality grading to help you.

Roughly as follows:

6-7.5/10 are of vhs tape recorder condition, 6/10 being the roughest ‘collectors only’ grade, just about watchable. 7/10+ are decent but show their source limitations and are all that is known to be available.

Above 8/10 are the highest quality copies you can find, although probably not comparable to an officially released and restored item. Please check availability from the usual sellers.

Does this answer your questions? If not, the second link at the foot of the home page is "Contact us", where you could ask for further clarification. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.8.123.129 (talk) 16:41, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
