Hi All: Anyone know the story with these disks? They say they are legit, produced with license, is this true? Is the A/V quality good?
Thanks, KDM

Seems rather unlikely. Maybe licensed for sale in Korea or region 3, but certainly not elsewhere. And the quality is likely lower than region 1 releases.

Dan: I bought one (Five Fingers w/ James Mason). I seems fine as far as picture and sound goes. It plays on my region 1 player. No liner notes but I don't know if they come with other versions of this movie. I would not buy it if I knew for certain it was unlicensed or otherwise not ligit but they are sold out in the open on EBay so would that not be possible if they were bogus?

Dude, DVD;s for different countries have different region codes. That way a DVD intended for sale in Europe can't be played in a DVD player in the USA. Studios do that because they have different release dates in different countries.

It more likely has to do with the fact a disk costs $2.50 to produce, the studio sells in it different countries based on what the market is willing to pay in that country.  The same disc could sell in Europe for $69, North America for $49, Asia for $29 and South America for $9.  It's easy for me to send $50 to a friend in Bolivia who buys 4 different titles and then mails the discs to me, in North America giving me $196 worth of movies for $50 and reducing the studios profit by $146 and we couldn't have that.
