Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jason" data-source="post: 173878">I actually purchased The Colbys Complete Series on dvd a year ago or so and when I received it, I noticed that the episodes looked like they were kind of low-quality AND the discs skipped all the time. I put one of the discs in my dvd drive on my computer and discovered that it was a DVD-5 and not a dual-layered disc which seemed odd to me. I found this to be quite shocking because Shout Factory usually puts out great quality dvd sets. I contacted Shout Factory directly about it and they replied the same day and said that what I purchased must have been an unauthorized copy because they would never compress four episodes onto a single-layer DVD. I promptly notified Amazon and I was sent another set. I could tell this new one must have been the "official" one as just by looking at the slipcover it seemed to be a heavier card stock and the printing quality was far superior on the slipcover and the artwork in the cases. Even the artwork on the discs themselves were clearer and brighter when compared to the counterfeit copy. The episodes on this set were exactly how I expected them to look. Obviously standard definition but not super compressed like the other version I was sent. I also didn't experience any skipping. When I popped the disc in my computer it did show up as a DVD-9 dual layer disc. Its possible that you received a counterfeit version of this set as I did.</blockquote>
