There were indeed very few pan-European releases for the Nordic market, including Swedish teletext subtitles: https://www.lddb.com/search.php?adv_search=*&adv_reference=&video=2&format=ld&infos=swedishJulien This was kind of what I thought might be the case; there was no official domestic distribution for movies, but there was enough people importing titles for both personal use and resale that domestic sales of the players for consumers must've been seen as economically feasible. Unlike in Finland where to my knowledge they were sold only for business use, hence all the karaoke machines floating about.

Another quick-win: Chosen - jQueryThis turns select/combo box inputs into something more user friendly when the number of choices goes beyond 15. Attachment:

Make a quick-win (in regards to amount of coding) to add Criterion collection links and covers. => Linking Criterion.com website releases?I don't have the full IMDb <-> Criterion database but I will update as I go. It will show like this: Silence of the Lambs, The: Special Edition #192 (1991) [CC1344L]Attachment:
criterion1.png [ 13.29 KiB | Viewed 2360 times ]
Attachment:
criterion2.jpg [ 23.72 KiB | Viewed 2360 times ]
It doesn't hurt if there's also an Intrada release advertised: RoboCop #311 (1987) (Uncut) [CC1463L]Attachment:
criterion3.jpg [ 39.77 KiB | Viewed 2360 times ]
Added bonus: it will be easy to compile a list of Criterion LDs not available on DVD/BD or the list of movies that didn't get a Criterion LD but for a DVD/BD release. Julien

Maybe a silly question, but wouldn't it be nice to add an option in the LD section to select the type of dead side on a disc?
Like "Turtle", "Mirror", "Spray", "Program Material..." and others. That is not a bad idea at all  .

Quote: it will be easy to compile a list of Criterion LDs not available on DVD/BD You can extract this list pretty easily from Wikipedia's "List of Criterion Collection releases".

What I wanna know is, what does "mirror" mean? I never knew that about Disco. I think Mirrored is about the same as unplayable with a mirror type finish.
