  • 2:00 The DVD movies that I think does the wide/fullscreen right is the Evil Dead 1,2, and 3. You just go to the menu, go to options, and pick if you want the movie widescreen or fullscreen. THAT's the easiest way, in my opinion, instead of making the DVD flipside. I do agree with the run-time part. If's it a TV show DVD collection, like the Alfred Hitchcock series WHY THE HELL would you add up run-time's of ALL the episodes, like the Nerd says,that's bullshit. And the VHS tapes, I agree 100%.

  • 6:18 What?

  • 5:59 hate when dvd movies do that

  • ...Widescreens shouldnt exist you dumbass. FULLSCREEN means it fits your fucking screen. Thats bullshit

  • whats wrong with full screen?

  • lol kill bill

  • We in germany love or Cut Editions :P u flame about some plastic clips, we dont get uncut movies or games xD alots of them get banned.. like gears of war 1 and 2 but 3 was released uncut WTF

  • those are my movies

  • Well, seems to me like the Batman Animated series DVDs kick the shit out of all this other crap. And also, that has a point for the little outer cover thing: Box art

  • And what's even worse is most of the time with dvd/blurays you can't even fast forward through the ads if it won't allow you to skip straight to the menu.....THAT'S COWA MUTHER FUCKIN BULLSHIT

  • I don't know whether it's the system I have, or the tape, but I have never heard a dialling sound when I watch a tape. And for those who just leave their dvd's on the floor, on the table, or anywhere other than the case, consider this. I have several DVD's at my house, and since we got our first set of dvd's and our first dvd player, we have only had to replace 4 DVD's, and it was because of problems with the disc when we bought it. Once we replaced those discs, they were just fine.

  • Hey cool SOAD!

  • also the unskippable fbi warnings.. honestly last dvd i watched had warnings in 3 diff languages and an dumb fuckin anti piracy ad (you wouldnt steal a car, so dont steal a dvd!) well i purchased this and now i get punished compared to just pirating

  • @tajweird And the pirate who downloaded his movie for free doesn't get that warning screen.

  • @jcrowley1985 yeah, isn't that hilarious? :D

  • VHS is The Shit

  • I miss the vhs and vcr

  • FUCK YEAH VHS!

    

  • YOU KNOW WHATS BULLSHIT!!! that boob video in the recamenatans

  • also on some dvds ive bought it has the tendencey to stop at the end of a chapter. i start on chapter 3 and stop at 4. thats bull****!!!

  • I 100% agree >:(

  • every dvd player can be change to multi- region player with a code that your trigger with the remote as easy as shit

  • This is why people like to pirate movies

  • And that, my son, is why we invented online piracy. True story.

  • You know whats BUUUUULLLLLSHHHIIIIIITTTT!!!!!­!!????? Everyone keeps talking about that damn sopa and pipa. Go talk about it in videos about it not videos like this one. Stop bitching about them in random videos not related to it.

  • we dont have those snap things over here

  • Yo dawg I heard you like boxes so we put your DVD boxes in boxes in boxes that go in boxes that go in boxes so you have to look for the boxes in boxes in boxes within boxes inside boxes to find the boxes in the boxes in the boxes in the boxes in the boxes.

  • you whats buuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshit *nintendo nerd voice* the government trying to censored the internet

  • You knows what's bullshit, SOPA nad PIPA.

  • U HAVE MANY EXCELLENT POINTS ....THEY ARE ALL TRUE! ........THE BULL SHIT IS EVERYWHERE AROUND US TODAY.....

  • @dannys2222

    You know whats bullshit?

    People that type with their caps lock on.

  • @OhNoNotMyPenis GET OVER BITCH AND STOP BEING SO JEALOUS OF EVERYONE ELSE! U ARE BULL SHIT AND A CRACKER AND COCK SUCKER TOO!!! SO FUCK U BITCH!

  • @dannys2222

    Watch out we got a badass over here.

  • Not all runtimes on dvds are in minutes. On the back of The Rundown it says 1hr 45 mins. Even though its the only time ive ever seen it like that it could mean there are others like that. Not all dvds are bulshit.

  • @shanesboard when i got the same dvd u have. it was bad. and i said: WTF????

    what is going on. the TV malfuctioned. (because the tv's video is sliding left and right

    if u didn't get that, it was like this thing below

    when i opened: (____)

    20 mins later: (______) or (____)

  • Comment removed

  • I never knew about the telephone dial at the beginning of a tape but the ending white screen with the tone used to scare the shit out of me.

  • You Know What's Bullshit: Unrated and Rated DVDs, for the love of god just release one or the other

  • I got the Chucky killer doll dvd collection for Christmas,and there were 4 movies on it,childs play 2 and 3,bride of chucky, and seed of chucky,and only 2 discs in the case,so I have to flip the dvd over to watch childs play 2,then flip it back over to view childs play 3,and I can't tell how to watch the spacific movie I want to watch before I insert the disc.And now matter how nice I put the dvd back into the case.I have to never touch the dvd,only the sides In order to ceep all the movies ni

  • no i-i-i-i am-am-am yo-yo-you're-re-re fa-a-a-a-a-a-ather

  • You know what's bullshit? How pirated DVDs are more user friendly with better menus than official DVDs.

  • thats why you get ur moies from the pirate bay

  • 6:00 the DVD just can't hadle the truth

  • @microwave199 Best comment ever

  • @microwave199 true hahahahahahhaha

  • sorry wanted it to start at 5:33 instead

  • at 5:38 unless someone else decided to watch before you got back to it

  • damn that menu button most of my dvds just do that cancel icon or dont do anything

  • What I always thought would've been a great idea is to list the genre of the movie in the little box on the back of the case where it usually has the run time, aspect ratio etc. Therefore if the store is having a DVD sale & I find something that looks interesting, I can look on the back & read for example: "Genre: Action" so then I know that it's something I'll like instead of me buying, putting it in the DVD player & finding out it's a romance comedy.

  • Things about dvds that should not exist

    .Full Screen (One im most againts of)

    .many different versions

    .box sets

    .snaps on the cases.

    .dual sided Discs.

  • @JamesNintendoNerd I'll buy the DVD for your movie, once its released, if it removes 90% of the shit as outlined in this video. Otherwise, I'll throw it in the trash.

  • blu ray is what i like to call DVD done right: they only skip when you gouge them, they have a "resume playback" feature to start the movie exactly where you left off, the menus can be accessed while you watch the movie, and its in HD; a format that is 40 years old and should have been used when laserdisc was out but i digress.

  • no 'play all' option sucks my dick also.

  • VHS all the way.

  • You know what's bullshit? All of the DVD ripoffs that you find at dollar stores. Theyre all stupid bootlegs and they all rip off some super popular movie.

  • I was getting really pissed off when i had some friends over and was trying to open a DVD getting tape all over my hands and then we couldnt skip the ads after finally opening the DVD when i again couldnt because of those 2 extra locks that i didnt see so i said to my friends "HE SAYS IT BETTER THAN I CAN, JUST WATCH THIS". Thx so much for getting the word out, it makes me feel a lot better to watch this

  • Rental DVDs now a days are the worst!!! It pretty much sums up everything James talks about on 3:36 except the disc menus Don't Have Scene Selections!!!!

  • I agree, whats the point of the layers of DVD boxes? I mean, if your ganna order a set then why cant they just use one box with all the DVDs inside and in order rather then have box sections? Its just so un-necessary and a big whaste.

    And yeh, DVD's fuck up far more quicker then video tapes, but i guess thats a price to pay for better quality and sound.

  • One answer Netflix.

  • And thats why streaming will destroy discs

  • Wow, he sounds just like me just listening to the stuff he's saying. Sayinng stuff that I would normally say.

  • What he did w/ the bond dvd's is genius! and there is still room for the 2 new ones in the box!

  • You know whats bullshit, overly used youtube comments that get top comment like (blah blah then i took an arrow to the knee) also promoted videos that are plastered EVERYWHERE!!!!!

  • @truesteban090 Hey man, thats fuckin youtube

  • @truesteban090

    What a horrible night to have a top comment.

  • Now for my number one complaint about Box Sets I especallly hate it when they say "The Complete Series", "Complete Season" or "the Franchise Collection" when there's a movie or episodes missing because of rights issues or they're owned by different companies,

  • 01:47 SOAD awwwwww yeah

  • Finally, someone who dislikes fullscreen movies as much as I do.

  • Stop

    Stop

    Play

    And it wil work :)

  • You defenitly spoke most of the greatest pet peeves about DVDs. Another thing that's bullshit about DVDs are when they have easter eggs that you have to look for. It's best just to simply watch the special features than to have to look for them, and sometimes, you don't even know if you've found them all unless you look it up online.

  • 295 like the boxes

  • MAN I HATE FULLSCREENS!!! who would wanna watch movies with the left and right side of the picture cutted off. Its also really funny that on the 70th aniverssary dvd of dumbo is only released on fullscreen. but the 60th anniversary dvd is on widescreen. sounds like people are getting dumber.

  • i have a really fucked up copy of inception where there are two titles ones in English the others in french. it works on my DVD player. but just wtf

  • YESSSSS! Hit the nail square on the head! Grreat vid!!! I have come to hate each movie company's opening logo jingle after having to hear it multiple times before you even get to the damn movie!

  • You know what's BUUUUULLSHIT?!

    Regional naming differences. Yeah, regional names are bullshit! I'm sure you all know that when some games come out, they have a working title. But then after that, when they settle on names, sometimes it's different depending on where you live! What could they not decide on a title for the game so they went with different ones?! What could they hope to accomplish from that?! That just makes things all the more confusing, especially when looking these games up!

  • 1:47 I love how he tries to snap shut the book like it's a dvd case xD

  • actually, i think the snap things on the dvds are useful, like when you accidently step on the case and it wont shut afterwards, at least you can still close it with the tabs.

  • ...one of many reasons why I love the internet. People makes it convenitent for you FOR FREE! You can look up the runtime on almost any dvd film. Also why SOPA sucks because with SOPA we would have to put up with this bullshit.

  • Wanna know what real Bullshit looks, smells, And feels like? Google this name, "Jammie Rasset Thomas" to find out what S.O.P.A. is really about. Have a Great Day, And Fuck You "cbs/viacom".

  • You have earned even more respect from me! AVGN. You like System of a Down!

  • This happened to me when I buyed the Batman movie box ( Th Burton and Sculmacer ) And they mixed it up ! In the Batman case it was the Batman and Robin movie ! In Batman returns it was Batman Forever , in Batman Forever it was Batman Returns and in Batman and Robin was Batman ! THATS BULLSHIT !!!!!!

  • This is why I don't feel bad about piracy

  • You Know What's Bullshit?

    1. Double Sided DVDs and DVDs you have to Flip to see the Rest of the Movie

    2. Box Sets with one single and one double sided DVD

    3. Box Sets with Missing Movies

    4. Franchises owned by Different Companies

    5. Slip Case DVD Collections

    6. Buying Defective or Damaged DVDs

    7. DVDs with no Special Features

    8. Dollar DVDs

  • @snakes3425 9. Cheap DVDs that come free with newspapers, since it's one whole chapter and no extras.

  • @SPeacock

    10. Box Sets that result in you owning duplicates of movies you already have (especally sets that have Public Domain Movies on them)

  • @snakes3425 I think the lesson learned here is to avoid Box Sets unless you're ABSOLUTELY sure that it's what you're after.

  • @SPeacock

    Correct, what's even worse is when there's a crossover film, example Freddy vs Jason, great film but which series do you file it under, Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street. I prefer Box Sets because it's the easiest way to get all or most of the movies in a franchise, but for the love of god get every studio that has made or owns a movie for that franchise on board before releasing a box set

  • @SPeacock

    Add another complaint, you know those Triple Feature and 4 Film Pack Box Sets you find at wal-mart, yeah they're even worse, the worst I've seen are the Starship Troopers and Nightmare on Elm Street packs, they just stacked the DVDs on top of each other, talk about cheap

  • @snakes3425 I think DVDs are more of a technical showcase - to see if video can be stored on a digital format... I think Blu-ray is DVD improved and perfected.

  • @SPeacock

    Maybe but Blu-Rays have their own problems. Like DVDs I despise when a Blu-Ray Box Set has movies missing or worse they release a Box Set that has the Rated Verson of a movie but not the unrated verson. To me the best box sets: Have all the movies, uncut, on indvidual disks, in seperate trays or cases, not theatrical cut, on double sided disks and definatally not stacked on top of each other

  • YOU KNOW WHAT'S BULLSHIT?! today's musics...

  • system of a down,fuck yeah

  • YOU KNOW WHATS BULLSHIT ?? TAKING AN ARROW TO THE KNEE

  • tv screens in elevators... DONT GIVE THEM IDEAS

  • What movie is that at 1:58?

  • @FREDMEISTERBHG

    Land of the Dead

  • its liek when we wanto watch a video on youtube, NOPE HEINZ AD

    AND IM A MORMON

    WHO GIVES A DAMN

  • has anyone ever noticed his voice gets a little louder when he says "YOU KNOW WHATS BULLSHIT"

  • u know whats awesome? THIS BULLSHIT!!!

  • You know what's Bullshit. Emulators. These need to die and never come back. Not only are people using them to avoid paying for games, but they use savestates all the way through the game to make it easier. That is bullshit, because a lot of the skill in playing older games comes from dealing with the lack of save points. Seriously, I have seen people save in the middle of a boss battle. And that... is BULLSHIT.

  • @MadroxMonoxide777 If their were no emulators, a lot of old games would be completely unplayable unless you happened to have the old console, and the old video game prices would be through the roof because the demand would be so high because it would be the only way to play the old games! And why do you care so much if people cheat? Isn't that their own decision?

  • @krawnian Yea, God forbid people would actually have to buy the games they want to play. Cheating sucks because it takes the point out of the game. And I was only bitching because that's the point of James's videos. I really doubt he cares that much about dvd boxes.

  • @MadroxMonoxide777 hm, so what sounds more sane, paying 1,999 € for Megaman 5 when it's on Ebay, which is basically around 200 kb of a game and a bunch of plastic, or just getting it like any old, say, DOS game?

    don't get me wrong, I like collecting, but sometimes people take it way too far. no video game or DVD is worth more than, say, 50 € to me. and I'm german, so unless I was rich, I wouldn't have a chance to get some original games on say, NES if emulators didnt exist.

  • @Tubyubber Well, there are certainly games that I would love to play, such as Earthbound. However, I can't afford it. What is my solutionton to this, you might ask? I don't play it. I would never steal something just because I think I deserve it, and you shouldn't either. Going off of your "logic," if I really want a PS3, but I only want to pay $100 for it even though they cost $250, it would be totally reasonble for me to steal one. Get real. Emulators are illegal and they are bullshit,

  • You know what's Bullshit: Double Sided DVDs. Yes they make DVDs and Box Sets cheaper, but when you have a Box Set that has Double Sided DVDs (The Univeral Legacy Sets for example) if one side of those Double sided DVDs get scratched your entire set is ruined. The worst I've seen is my copy of Green Berets, they couldn't fit the entire movie and the bonus features on one side??? They had to give us a DVD that you have to fli half way through???

  • The thing I hate is all the "you wouldn't steal a car"crap that was on some movies or any anti-pirating shit. Seriously. If I pirate I don't get annoyed by someone telling me not to copy but if I buy it I do.

  • Or watch an ad before you watch a youtube vi... oh wait

  • I also loved the little "Tracking" thing in my VHS tapes.

  • I ACTUALLY tell people that I'll see them in 168 hours. Glad we're not neighbors, James.

  • James, your prediction was right, they now make us watch an ad before we wacth a Youtube video. FUCKING ASSHOLES!

  • We don't have half of these problems in the UK. Only plastic wrap to peel off, and you can skip the adverts at the beginning.

    Life is goooood.

  • Can someone tell me what's so bad about fullscreen formats? Isnt it better.

  • @oBADKIDRANDYo

    Widescreen has the black bars on the top and bottom, that's the way movies are supposed to be. Anamorphic.

  • SOAD \m/

  • LOL at th end he sed look! im your fu******

  • Or you could just use Netflix...

  • YOU KNOW WHATS BULLSHIT!? THE TWILIGHT SAGA

  • i still have vhs tapes,hell i still use vhs tapes and i use them more then my dvds.

  • I learned 2 things today, 1. Dvds are bullshit, and 2. There are 168 hours in a week

  • YOU KNOW WHATS BULLSHIT!? ADEVERTISEMENTS ON WEBSITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Get a playstation 3 or xbox 360.

    They let you skip the ads and logos about 95% of time.

  • @aarnes6 at 3:00 you can see an x-box 360 and if you look really close, you can see a PS3 maybe

  • You know what's Bullshit?! Blu-Ray DVDs. To me, it's just something that makes you pay more for a movie on a disc. Why do we need that kind of crap? What's wrong with just plain DVDs. Some maybe be a little pricely if it's a season dvd but it doesn't cost more like the Blu-Ray does. Blu-Rays makes you pay more for a movie on a disc and that's what's bullshit.

  • @BlueTheArcticFox lol, not if you have a 42" Plasma...

  • @BlueTheArcticFox true in fact blu-ray may be one of the most expensive forms of media on the planet.

  • i used to work in company that puts all these dvds in boxes, boxes into boxes, that plastic on that . FOR 8 HOURS A DAY

  • Bruce Lee UP IN DIS BEEOCH

  • What VHS is the telephone bit from?

  • SYSTEM OF A DOWN!

  • R.I.P VHS(Revival in progress)

  • I got Twin Peaks 1st season. But not the pilot.

  • What Bruce Lee box set has all of his movie except "Enter the Dragon"? That's like having a Godzilla box set with all the movie except "Gojira" aka "Godzilla King of the Monsters".

  • (continued)2nd i like the luxury of storing a vhs tape on a self after use without putting it into a shitty case were it could fall of and get damaged were in dvd sometimes the dvd dosent stick into the case then falls to the floor and get scratch and you have no choice but to pay up money for a new one,boy did that sucked,as for bluray i never cared for the best picture and sound as long as i can see the picture and hear the audio im fine and the fact blueray is fucking expensive :P

  • Comment removed

  • YOU KNOW WHATS BULLSHIT!? THE NEW YOUTUBE LAYOUT!

  • @Whisper95Productions Quit bitching.

  • @Whisper95Productions Ask for your money back.

  • The ads have now taken over this site by forcing us to watch them before the video starts.  That's bullshit.

  • LASERDISC ALL THE WAY

  • I grew up in the 90's and never got a dvd player til 2006 man vhs player were the shit.

  • Um... Whats wrong with full screen. I fucking hate widescreen

  • Loved VHS.

  • This goes to all DVD owners:

    DVDs from Lions Gate and Paramount are the ones that never skip. It fucking sucks.

  • Just do like I do,don't buy a DVD just download the movie and watch it illegally!:D

  • And that's why I torrent. If I wanna see it on a bigger screen, then I pop out my blu-ray burner and BAM.

  • VHS>DVD

    

  • I take torrents so much for granted.

  • @mrrandomguyrules1 it`s alright, but alot of that is true because one of my friends won`t play the original zelda cause the graphics aren`t good and he says graphics do matter

  • Some DVD players let you play where you left off

  • I hate this too, but here we have runtime and everything but maybe this is why people download?

  • 1:47

    avgn listens to system of a down :-D

  • Oh, okay, so you know where to find it.

  • The run time is on the back of the DVD case...

  • This is why I love VHS more than DVD. Sure,DVDs could make better quality,but nothing stops the awesomeness of VHS.

  • this is my fav of the you know what's bull shit series

  • the dvd just knew that vader s his faather so it froze

  • I think VHS is much better than DVDs

  • @cameron20101000 I AGREE 100 PERCENT

  • @Peterfreakout10 Thanks for asking

    I miss the 90s too.

  • Dvd cases are trophies on the shelf. If you want convenience torrent

  • @Dudewheresmybars $2.99 trophies? useless bullshit

  • @Dudewheresmybars Trophies are for winning, boxes are for cutting. Buying a box makes not a trophy. No one goes 'wow, nice box'.

  • aaaah the videotape era, good times :)

  • your run time it's at 2:41

  • The region coding is fucking bullshit!! Hate those rules!

  • @mothman1997 hey man i say nintendo is better(in my opinion), just don`t start calling xbox360 and ps3 boring, cause people nowadays (mostly my age and up(my age is 12)) only care about gore and gaphics, and they will fuck you up. i really don`t care what people say I FUCKING LOVE NINTENDO

  • @17Ziek Fuck yeah. Nintendo FTW!!! i still love ps3 and xbox 360. I hate people who will not play games because the grapics suck. Megaman 9 and 10 for instace. It's supposed to look 8-bit. They are for nostalgia. Sorry about the long comment and going off track.

  • I hear you when it comes to Region coding. I mean, on my holiday a few years ago, I bought a DVD and it was £20, when I got home, the region was different and wouldn't play. For fuck sake, are they like Stay in one region or fuck it you son of a bitch

  • This happened once to a DVD collection of All Men Are Brothers 2011 series @ 3:36 to 4:30.You have to play it once to skip it and it really sucks!

  • Can't eat my goddamn needles with this fucking canker sore!

    That's bullshit.

  • haha the ads on the elevator would probably make the average weight go down. then again, people are that lazy to stand and watch that shit. i would refuse to go on any elevator or watch any TV like that. you forgot to mention how there are ads in videogames now as well.

  • I have that Alfred Hitchcock boxset!

  • nintendo owns bitch , they the reason the industry continues to evolve sony is not, neither is fucking gay ass microsoft, all these 2 know is toss powerful hardware into a big as case with a bunch of useless metal -opens ps3- - -oh look all that un used space, fuck that, and the slim isnt any better ,

  • I miss vhs

  • the xbox 360 sometimes lets u start from where u left off but im not sure

  • FBI/RIAA/MPAA warnings, Infinifilm, SecuROM, CSS, region coding, embedded unskippable ads.

    Just f&^king download it, it's easier!
