ThaiNetCity has a huge range of Chinese movie titles, on DVD and VCDs,
ranging from Shaw Brothers classics from the 60's all the way to the
latest hi-tech sci-fi blockbusters. Also available are dozens of titles
of Chinese TV series.
CHINESE
MOVIES ON DVDs





ThaiNetCity sells
only genuine copyrighted DVDs. Our extensive catalogue of Chinese movie
DVDs is second to none. Most available titles have Thai sound and original
Chinese sound. Many have English subtitles. The vast majority are PAL
and zone-free. Many are NTSC and zone-free, which means no compatibility
problem for customers in the USA & Canada.
Please read the important notes below before ordering.
IMPORTANT NOTE: TELEVISION STANDARD
Thai DVDs are mostly recorded in PAL television standard which is used
in many parts of the world but NOT in the USA where the standard is
called NTSC. Customers in the USA and Canada must have a PAL-compatible
television, or a DVD player that can change PAL output to NTSC output
in order to view PAL DVDs. Watching DVDs on computer DVD-ROM players
can avoid this problem.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: ZONE RESTRICTION
Zone coding is fixed on most DVD players and DVD discs. This is an attempt
by makers of DVDs to control where in the world the DVD can be played.
Chinese movie DVDs are mostly zone-free. Zone-free discs can be played
anywhere in the world (with proviso that TV standard is compatible).
Zone 3 DVDs can only be played in SE Asia. Customers wishing to order
these DVDs must either have zone-3 DVD player, or have a DVD player
that has had zone-detection disabled.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: DVD EXCHANGE/REFUND POLICY
We try our best to only send you DVD that you will be able to view.
This is why we request and require that you state the compatibility
of your DVD player on check out if you have potentially problematic
DVDs in your basket. We cannot however accept responsibility for incompatible
DVDs so please, ensure that your TV and DVD players are compatible before
you order. We regret that DVDs cannot be returned
for exchange or refund in the event of incompatibility. Many
websites have more information about DVD compatibility issues, including
this
one.
CHINESE MOVIES ON VCDs





VCD is a format
that is highly popular in Asia because of its low cost. It has become
the format of choice in Asian countries and has largely replaced VHS
videos. A VCD basically, is a CD-ROM with video data on it. Because
of this a VCD only has about one hour of video per disc, and the quality,
although good, is never as good as DVDs. The vast majority of DVD players
will play movie VCDs, as well as most computers and Sony PlayStation
consoles. There is usually not the same problem of PAL compatibility
for VCDs as for DVDs. Unless otherwise stated,
Chinese movies on VCDs have Thai sound only and no subtitle.
CHINESE
TV SERIES





Large numbers of
Chinese (Hong Kong, Taiwan) TV series have been released on VCDs boxed
sets, a few have been released on DVDs. Most series are period kung
fu action, but there are also many romance dramas and thrillers set
in modern times.
Chinese TV series are packaged either in 2-disc jewel cases or in paper
sleeves or cardboard albums. When jewel cases are used, one boxed set
can weigh a lot and so can be expensive to ship. If you wish to minimize
shipping cost please request that the jewel cases are removed. As the
outer cardboard box can also be heavy, we normally remove them too when
you specify no jewel case. If you want the outer box please indicate
this when you order. If you decide at a later date that you want the
outer box, we normally keep these for a while and can ship them with
your next order.
Please note that
unless otherwise stated, Chinese TV series on VCDs are Thai dubbed only,
no subtitle. Many titles have dual-language soundtrack, Chinese and
Thai. Please adjust the balance control of your amplifier to select
the soundtrack language to hear.
