Probably not adding anything to the discussion, but I recently got this Chinese Spongebob movie DVD bootleg in a cardboard sleeve.
this is exactly what I wanna see. those Chinese bootlegs were often printed months before the movies official release
There is a shop in my town with a whole bunch of chinese bootleg DVDs. I don't tend to collect DVDs personally, but I do collect bootlegs (VHS, all kinds of music and games, bootleg toys etc) and I decided to get this one because I remembered a recent lostwave thing about bootleg DVD menu music. I have wanted to test it to see A. The menu and B. If the contents are any bit different, but haven't done so yet. I should probably go and buy some more of those bootlegs. I also have a Russian bootleg DVD of Pink Floyd's The Wall, which I also never tested, but don't think it'd have anything interesting. I did get a boxset of Firefly, which were all DVDs in a very fancy case, but stored in one of those cheap plastic CD case things inside, I wonder if that would have anything interesting. My sister actually works in that shop now, so I should ask her to keep them.
For years I had found bootleg DVDs in those silly plastic bags with the squashed up movie poster and Thai translated title, covered in sparkly star hollowfoil, and ignored them, now I am wondering what kinds of lost media I passed up on.

i used to go to Chinese grocers and all through the store hidden in the groceries were the cardboard box Chinese movies. there was one store I went to that has a walk in freezer, and at the back of the freezer was this official DVD release of an 80s cartoon. I still have it.
I have bootleg dvds but they all if not most of them contain this menu like in this video: youtu.be/Cuj8YarDOu4&t=18
I used to have about 10 or so bootleg DVDs of movies from the early 2010s with a menu like this as well (Frozen, The Lego Movie, The Lorax, etc.). The recordings were in very low quality, being recorded straight from a movie theater. I also remember at least one of the discs having a link to a website on it that was displayed as the movie would play, but I can't remember what it was. The company was likely one that encourages the production of these bootlegs.
