Jimmy no one is disputing what you are saying THAT IS GREAT INFORMATION , we were talking about one movie SAVING PRIVATE RYAN if you say it was fake than ok but if you could provide a link of a copy of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN without the dts at the top i would appreciate it . I have combed thru EBAYS COMPLETED LISTINGS and they have been selling for $20 plus While BEST BUY has it for 9.99 this is why i thought maybe it was a rare copy kinda like an error on a baseball card - i contacted ebay seller WERDVDS who has a feedback of 40,942 as he has a copy of it for sale to ask where the symbol is theirs ....When i first joined ebay i got burned about 7 years ago on all region bootleg dvds and had to learn the hard way so now when i buy in bulk i always confirm u.s copy region 1 with security seals(even though i have got dvds from department stores without the security seals as well as colombia house they often do not have as well ...I just hate the fact i may have sold these if they were not legit .thanks for your help .
This is another example of a previos post I made stating that the majority of sellers dont even know that they are selling bootleg copies of these films.
I stopped into Circuit city the other day and looked for the private ryan. I found 3 different version of the film there and not 1 of them had a DTS logo on it. The store In my town has a massive amount of movies. I looked at every title in all 6 rows of dvd movies and did not see a single movie old or new that had a DTS logo on it.
Heres the examples you asked for:

Bootleggers will do anything to convince you that these kind of movies are legit. And they are a special release. The only thing special about them is that they are fake. They will get you to think its some kind of special release and some other bogus crap that seems legitimate. But dont fall for it. The sad thing is some of the biggest internet retailers are spreading this stuff like a wildfire.
Another note for you is that columbia house movies are manufacturerd only for them. They have arrangements with the studios to sell these movies. That is why thier movies have not for resale stickers and logos on them. Some of them say promo disk.
To further strengthen this case.
DTS is an audio format. There is no reason to advertize it in big words on a DVD movie.
Goto this site. They are the legitimate creators of DTS technology.
Goto thier DTS webstore. And you will find absolutely
NO DTS MOVIES.
Only DTS music as I have said before.
