Hey, just want to know....what's exactly "director's cut" dvd version??? Does this means the episodes were cutted and are smaller to fit the dvds? 
if it's not asking to much, could some of you that bought full house take some pics of the box and some screenshot of the menu and the episode with subs?
| Quote: | | The subs of the Malay version are a disaster!! I got a set of subs for Full House which I intend to edit and release SOME DAY, but it's a big project. |
so you think the " director's cut" version is better?
| Quote: | | Can I just rant for a minute and ask when DVD producers are going to recognize that there is actually an English-speaking audience out there who would appreciate some decent subs? |
YEah!!! I think if they came to d-addicts only once they would notice the big number of people interested in dramas and that would pay to buy a dvd box with english subs. I, for example, if all the dramas i like were subbed and oficially sold, i would definetely buy. But sometimes i hesitate because i'm afraid i'll come across a bad subtitle 
| Quote: | | I just bought Anego because I loved the fansubbed version so much, and they just copied the fansubs onto the dvd, doing a bad job (ie leaving out the thought balloons, etc.) It really pissed me off... |
it's a pity! I also wanted to buy Anego, but many people complained about the malay version being sold...
how could they not add the thought ballons?!!!! That was the best part of Anego!_________________

| The directors cut includes some extra material. The subs are okay, but not as good as they SHOULD be. Please see the first post in this thread.

| hi everyone, I am new to d-addicts but adore asian dramas! I recently watched a fan sub version of full house on youtube and loved it. I wanted to buy it but now I feel pretty bummed reading through these responses. I have no problems with copied fan subbed versions but I don't know where to get them. Is there a way to save them from youtube or how do I go about it. Sorry this is a lame newbie question I am sure. I just recently bought "It started with a kiss" and the english subs were so bad I couldn't even understand it so it was money wasted. Don't want that to happen again...

Series that you buy from KBS America will tend to be good. The subs will not be up to the quality of the better fansubs, but they will not have you going "WTF?!" " WTF?!" endlessly. The video quality of KBS America releases will be superb. The bad news is, KBS America may be on it's way out, since they are licensing YAE to distribute their shows. YAE has a variable reputation, especially because of their 4:3 releases of 16:9 broadcast material.
Read the reviews here carefully, and ask specific questions when you aren't sure, and you stand a fair chance of not wasting a lot of money (as some of us have done).

AFAIK, the only release currently is the Malay one. KBS America pulled theirs since YAE has licensed the distro for NA. It remains to be seen whether YAE will surprise us or what. And yes, YAE = YesAsia.
My personal experience dealing with the staff of KBS America was less than reassuring, but I am not going to elaborate about THAT, as tempting as it might be...

That one says it is published by BitWin, which if I understand correctly, should be identical to the KBS America release, but region 0. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I *think* that the BitWin releases are the best Korean drama releases.

| The dvdonline version is definitely NOT the BitWin set. I realise the "Official" set is expensive, but the video qualty is top notch, as is the sound, and since this is a top-rated show, I'd say it's worth it if you're not going to starve as a result of spending the money. After watching it you will be craving plain rice porridge for a while anyway.

The Malay version is available in various packagings, with various invented company names. The Malay version sucks. If you get it you will have paid good money for something that is totally worthless, and you will regret it. If you see a set of Full House that is not "used" for less than ~$50, do not buy it if you need the subtitles in order to understand it. The folks that sell this crap have no compunction about selling junk, and will not refund your money.

Incidentally, the Full House DVD is no longer available through KBS-America's E-store. Neither is it available in video-on-demand format.
Didn't someone say that they heard YA Entertainment was going to release this show on DVD? If it's true, it might be worth waiting for that release, especially if it comes with subbed extras (hopefully they were smart enough to insist upon the extended 'director's cut' versions instead of the original TV broadcast ones, or there will be much griping, I'm sure).
