Do I have to speak Chinese to watch your DVDs?

top

No, all movies have at least English subtitles and/or English audio track.


What is "Chinese subtitles/audio match %"?

top

In some movies (especially western film dubbed in Chinese) subtitles don't always match the voice word for word although the meaning is the same. For instance an actor would say "每天" and the subtible would be "天天"; both mean "everyday" but in this case the "audio/subtitles match %" would be 50%.
We have watched every movies in order to provide this ratio for you.(please note it's an estimation).
If you are still struggling with Chinese characters we advise you to pay attention to this caracteristic. Indeed by choosing a film with 100% you are sure that what you hear is what you read so you don't get confuse.


Are all movies in Mandarin?

top

Yes, because Mandarin is the official language in the People's Republic of China. However some film may have other Chinese language such as Cantonese. Please check DVD for detail.


Are the DVDs menu in English?

Most of DVDs allow you to choose between English and Chinese menu.
A few DVDs' menu are only in Chinese, that's why we provide translations.

What is DVD type?

There are two DVD types depending on the capacity of the disc:DVD-5 and DVD-9

DVD-5 is a single sided single layer DVD that stores up to about 4.7 GB
DVD-9 is a single sided dual layer DVD that stores up to about 8.5 GB

We are mainly selling DVD-5 because they are better value to learn Chinese (e.g. no fancy packaging, no other disc in English...) and movies look the same on small to medium screen (less than 50"). However some movies are available in both types. If your are interested please contact us and we will happily look for its availability. Please note price will be at least 4$ higher.
