Where To Download Rai Due Dub, Anyone know? Options

[Hirondelle]

I realllllly hope someone can help me out with this. Does anyone know where quality downloads of the Rai dub are available? I'm trying to get as much of the series as possible; the 4kids version just doesn't cut it for me anymore since they change and remove soooo much. (Also, the rai due episodes usually appear to be much brighter than the 4kids for some reason) I know they're available on places like youtube, but I'm trying to find these for keeps. ;D

[humbu111]

there is a site that allows you to download youtube videos but i cant remember what its called. If ur interested, i could find out and tell u.

[Hirondelle]

Thanks! I think I might know about the site you're talking about, I just can't remember the name either. <<;

[humbu111]

ok i just asked my cousin through phone, its www.vixy.net

[Zhanneel]

Oo, I've also wondered where to find Season 2 and 3 (Season 1 Rai version is hosted on torrents at the moment). Youtube is a good start, but would anyone know anywhere else I can download them? My beefs with youtube are 1) bad quality (sometimes audio too) and 2) they usually split episodes into more than one part. Thanks for any help =).

Whoa, that wasn't the site I was thinking about, but looking at it, that's amazing! I didn't know they had a site like this. :0 Thanks so much!

Yeahh Youtube is horrible with that compression. I was watching the episode Junior League yesterday on youtube and that didn't look too bad, but I'm just trying to find the best quality (and preferably without the channel icons at the lower right) I tried looking for the Season 1 like you said there is, but every site I go to it's for one you have to pay and/or sign up. :< But what else is new? I had to search for a looong time to get season 2 of the 4kids dub, I'll just have to do it again~

[Zentron]

OK, it seems I can help sooner than I thought. You can view every episode of series 1 and some of series 2.... I haven't finished encoding them yet! Download them by signing up to the site. It's the only way, soz!!

That's great Zentron =). I do have a question: what type of files are they? (avi, flv, mpeg, etc) I may still download them anyway, but I'm always on the look out for the avi quality stuff. Thanks either way!

And I think this is the same torrent I used to get the Rai 1st season:

They are AVI, encoded using the X264/H.264 codec!! The vids look their best downloaded, in comparison to the online playback version... which has the quality reduced for easier, quicker play!!

[Zhanneel]

Fabulous! Thanks, sounds like great quality =). Do you think you might be able to get the complete 2nd or 3rd season up in the future?

[Zentron]

Second series yes, third series, no! Mostly due to the fact that Mondo Home Entertainment haven't released the third series on DVD yet, some other mongs have released a really really reeaaaalllyyyyy lousy DVD of the third series, Italian only and in MONO sound of all things! I haven't even seen the third series yet, Rai or 4Kids..... though I really do not want to watch the 4Smegs version!

The next episode of S2 is in the pipe as I type this!!

[Zhanneel]

Right on! Thanks for taking the time to put them up =). I've been trying to watch them all again in Rai so that I can listen to dialogue that is closer to the true Italian version and hopefully get a better understanding of what 4kids dubs out. Too bad no one is releasing the 3rd season in Rai yet =(.

And if you're okay with decent avi quality, there is a torrent for the 3rd season up...but that depends if you like the 4kids version =P.

Yeah, major pity!

As for 4Kids.... I despise them, but thanks for informing me!

[Zhanneel]

Lol, 4kids is pretty much on everyone's last nerve. I definitely understand.

[Zentron]

Lol, 4kids is pretty much on everyone's last nerve. I definitely understand.

Oh, they were on my last nerve after watching the first 10 minutes of Pokemon episode 1.... and completely burned it out by the 11th minute.

Any programme they have not done themselves entirely, I try to find the original, before my head explodes. The same with Winx Club!

[Hirondelle]

Oh wow all of this sounds great!! Thanks Zhanneel and Zentron! *is sooo glad she asked*
I'm downloading that torrent now, I was afraid it'd be the one I had downloaded before, but that one only came with two episodes. I can't wait for this to download *w* &now I signed up for Veoh xD

[Zhanneel]

No problem because I was just downloading the last 5 episodes on that torrent a few days ago =P. Fresh in my head. But the dual language may require some codecs (not entirely sure) to run with your media player. Just give a holler to someone on the forums if you have any problems getting the English part to work.

[Riiana]

Well thanks for all the sites guys, really helped since I've never seen any of the RAI versions.

[Zentron]

Well I've encoded episodes 7-9, now it's just a case of getting my upload connection issues sorted so I can get them up on my channel!!

Oh okay, thanks! I realized that these files are in .ogm format, I've never heard of those but I do have this program I think will work to convert. Have you heard of or use AllToAVI? I used it for two videos before, and it was cool cause they were Dual audio, if I saved the episode one way it'd give me the 4kids version with the 4kids audio and the other is the RAI version with the RAI audio. I just hope I remember how to use the darn program haha

Ooooh okay, Zentron, thanks again xD

[Zentron]

Ooooh okay, Zentron, thanks again xD

85% of episode 7 is uploaded... I just hope my connection doesn't time out on me again, episode 8 is 7% uploaded!

I still can't get my VeohTV to connect to the Veoh publisher network, very annoying!!

*EDIT*
Well, episode 7 is up, episode 8 I hope will be up soon!!

I haven't heard of it, but if you know it works go for it! (If for some reason it doesn't, my back up is to use Media Player Classic and then outfit it with the k-lite codec pack. It pretty much supports all types of audio and video files, which is what I currently use to watch all my videos and dvds =). And you will be able to switch between Italian and English audio whenever you want.)

[Zentron]

Awesome Zentron ^^, I'm uber excited to be getting the second season in Rai, yay!

Well, things have gone well on two fronts today!! Episode 08 of Winx Club S2, "The Spoilsport", is now in my channel, plus, I finally got my upload connection sorted out, so I am now uploading episode 09, which will be online in about 3 or so hours!

I'll get on with the encoding of the next 3 episodes a little later.... I've been on a computer chair for 13 hours and 27 mins now, I's tired!!

*EDIT*
Heh, I knew I was forgetting to do something!! Next video is now up, episode 09: The Secret of Professor Avalon, available in my channel.

Darn it, lol, you put episode 9 up pretty much right before I went to bed, and I had just got done downloading the others--which by the way, I am in flipping awe over how pristine they are! Either Veoh whoops the butt of Youtube when it comes to quality, or you have mad video skills, or a combination of both. I'm so happy to have high quality episodes for my collection. It took me a while to figure out the downloading scheme, but it was easy afterward. I just wish I didn't have to install the Veoh player, but that's what the family junk computer is for ^^. Bravo and thanks again!

[Hirondelle]

Haha, sameee I was on my laptop before I went to bed when I saw episode 9 but the player and everything is on my actual computer! But I'm literally ecstatic about these episodes! I never thought I'd be able to get perfect quality, thanks Zentron! I'm seriously debating throwing out my 4kids episodes, (they're not to mention bad, but insanely dingy in color. and I have the good quality ones of those too!) but if I want to do differences between 4kids and RAI on my site, then I'd have to keep them for screen caps. I'm still debating that though...that'd take FOREVER.

wait, where can you download the second season rai english version? I don't feel like reading through the thread on this computer since it would take forever. I'm so confused...

A combination of both, I know how to do good videos and Veoh whoops the butt out of YouTube! Digital video editing is nothing new to me, I did it in University or 4 years

Glad you like them enough to consider a debate!

Also, I can help you out a little bit with you on your website woes!

Here's a few version comparison images and a couple of scene playouts as they should have been or were cut out of the 4Kids versions, plus, if you download the word file, you can get a write-up I have done of episodes 1 & 2 of S1, which I have noted where and what 4Kids have messed around with, also some digs at 4Kids too:





Scurry Scene - Barrier Scene

*EDIT*
Also, I just had to let you know, I'm already started on episode 10-12!

Hmm, strange. Wonder why? Anywayz, I've removed it from that post and I'll post it here in this one, see if it works then!!

Attached File(s)

 Winx_Club_Vs_4Kids_Winx_Club_V2.doc ( 54K ) Number of downloads: 111

 

[humbu111]

is it possible to copy and paste the document here? or email it to me?

[Zentron]

Heh, I doubt it would be very much appreciated by the mods or admins, considering how long it is with just the TWO episodes written about... but, last but not least of my tries, here is a link to the file at my online Virtual Hard Drive:

Winx Club Vs 4Kids Winx Club

Oh and more good news, episode 10 is on the upload and should be ready for you, say, an hour or so... I hope. Ah, and I am currently encoding episode 11, which will be finished in 25 minutes, so that will be available later tomorrow (or tonight, whatever your timezone you're in), mostly as it is almost half past 5 in the morning here and I need my ugly sleep!

So see you when I see you, and remember to check out my Veoh channel, which if you don't know, the link to is in my 'Aug 4 2008, 11:13 PM' post!!

[Zhanneel]

Zentron you are the bestest-est =P

And Abby, here's the link to Zentrons Veoh channel:

http://www.veoh.com/channels/magicwinx

You can either watch them, or as I like to do, download them too (but you have to make an account to download them).

[Zentron]

Thanks, I do what I can.

Also, mustn't forget to mention, the downloaded version is much better than the streaming version.

Also, also, episode 11, Race Against Time, will be available in about 5 minutes or so. Plus, episode 12, United Victory, will be up later tonight, I currently have it on the upload, but I'm going out soon so I won't be able to add it to my channel until I get back... or I find the time to do so whilst I'm out!

*EDIT*
I didn't get time whilst I was out, but I've just done it now, episode 12, United Victory, is now available or your viewing pleasure!!

[Zentron]

They're in AVI format, but make sure you have the X264/H.264 codec installed on your computer!!

[humbu111]

thanx, is it possible to email it to me at [email protected]? it'll be much appreciated ^_^

[Zentron]

I can do certainly! I can also advise it not to be a good idea to leave your emails for everyone to see!!

[humbu111]

I dont mind, there is a thread where everyone posts their e-mail adresses anyways, and I posted these two already there. But thanx for the concern. So which one are u gonna e-mail it to?

[Edit: nevermind, I got it, thanx a bunch!]

Veoh has blocked Croatia

So there's no hope for me

[Zhanneel]

aww, why is Croatia blocked? They won't even let you just watch them?

[Zentron]

Veoh has blocked Croatia

So there's no hope for me

Well let me ask you this. Can you go this url: http://www.megavideo.com/

If yes, then I will upload everything again there!! If no............. yah sorry, you're stuck!!

This post has been edited by Zentron: Aug 7 2008, 3:22 PM

[humbu111]

i think its Croatia blocked veoh, i've heard in the news and stuff that certain countries have blocked certain sites like that because there was offensive material on it to them

[Hirondelle]

Yeah, I remember hearing about that. That suuuuuuucks D:
Ughh I tried downloading the link and AGAIN, it won't download, so I'm trying the one on the site. If not, I'll try the other again. xD It might actually just take a while and I'm just being impatient.

[Zhanneel]

That's bogus to block stuff like that, especially when the site has filters. Not all censorship is necessary. If they are worried, let's say about the kids, the best thing is to teach your children what to watch and what not to watch. Banning sites will not stop them, but talking to them might.

Perhaps though they were getting into legal fights with the "download" option. *shrug*

[Zentron]

Yeah, it sucks alright. Though if you know of a Croatian video host, please let me know and I will see if I can upload there, if the one above doesn't work for you!

OK then, more news, I will be getting started on the next 3 videos in a few minutes. They just take about 2 and a bit hours to encode, then another 2 or so to upload on to the Veoh server... with a few minutes of processing time!

[Zhanneel]

*puts on some elevator music while waiting*

On second thought, I don't want to fall asleep...

[Zentron]

Heh, yeh, falling asleep would be baid. (no, that was a deliberate misspelling )

When the first video is finished and uploading, I shall get on with the one after that, then that'll be ready for the morning.... unless I decide to stay up past 6am again

And BTW, with this next video, 'The Lady Of The Dance', we hit the halfway point of series 2!!

*EDIT*
Heh, would ya have guessed it, I fell asleep!!

Anyhoo, the next two videos are in my channel, the third one today will be up in about 2 hours and a bit, so keep watchin!!

Oh I can't wait for the next episode! Musa's concert! Probably my favorite episode =). Thanks again!

I was looking up the release dates for Season 3 DVDs, and it shows the date for Sept. 2...but do you know if that is just for the 4kids version or is that also for the English Rai version? The internet is really confusing sometimes.

Well you don't have to wait, episodes 13-15 are up and active!!

As for your inquiry for the third series of Winx Club coming on DVD, this is all I have come up with: http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Re...7/msg00479.html

Series 3 has been out on DVD in Italy for a short time now, but as I have mentioned before, treat them as if they were contaminated by the Black Plague and avoid them as such!! They are no way near in the same league as the Mondo Home Entertainment DVDs that I have of the first and second series!!!

[Zhanneel]

Yay! Musa's concert! Many thanks ^^

Hmm, the link says the DVDs will be published by Funimation, and maybe that's the same for the previous English Rai releases? Well, either way I guess I'll find out in September.

Hallowinx is up next, 'tis one of my fave episodes!

Also, bad news I'm afraid!! The DVDs in September are the ones by..... 4KIDS, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooOOOOOooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

I just checked the back of the 4Kids Winx Club DVDs I've kept until I do my comparison document, and the publisher of the DVDs is by FUNimation! Y'see, FUNimation do the 4Kids release, and Mondo Home Entertainment do the Italian DVD releases, 'cept say the 3rd series as of yet! Pity

What is this "Take a break"? I know not this phrase

Yeah, major pity, so you'll have to settle for the episodes I bring you

[Zhanneel]

Here, I'll define it for you xD:

(phrase) "take a break" means: to not upload/download/encode/decode/uncode(?)/recode(??) or any other terms you can think of that regard Winx episodes

Used in a sentence: I think it's about time that you take a break. xP

Lol, but hey, if you've got the will and you're not falling half a sleep, upload as much as you want. I won't complain ^^.

And I guess I'll have to go to icky youtube for the Rai English Season 3. If their quality was just....better.

Oh you mean I should rest a while? Should have just said

It only takes 4 and a bit hours per episode, nothing big!! Once it took 3 days for a video to encode... now that was a long time to wait, and have my computer on for!!

I've just decrypted my disc and will encode the next episode, just after I have done another job!

[Zhanneel]

=P okay, just don't forget to eat

[Zentron]

=P okay, just don't forget to eat

Egg fried Rice and a portion of chips! Just finished eating that a few minutes ago!

I enjoy encoding, sure it takes time, but it gives me an excuse to leave my computer desk and watch some DVDs. I say excuse, I mean an excuse to myself, otherwise I'd be sitting down at it all day!

[Riiana]

Lol if I was on the computer all the time...well lets just say I wouldnt because my dad wont let me.
If I had my own Laptop, now thats an entirely different matter

Btw what programmes do you use to encode..?

[Zentron]

Lol if I was on the computer all the time...well lets just say I wouldnt because my dad wont let me.
If I had my own Laptop, now thats an entirely different matter

Btw what programmes do you use to encode..?

I use VirtualDubMod to encode, seeing as it is a VOB file I'm working with, using the X.264 codec, with a deinterlace filter, set with the fields to blend together, which stops those unsightly scanlines that you normally see! Though as the file is dual audio, you must choose the correct audio stream, which if the English audio is its second selection, the second option is usually the right one! After that, save to AVI!

Here's an example of a video going through my encode process:



Note the screen preview on the left is the original file with the scanlines, on the right, is the same file, but with the deinterlace filter applied!! And notice on the first tab at the bottom of the screen, the Magix Club forum is clearly open!

[Zhanneel]

Lol, we feel so honored here at MC to see the MC forum in your task bar xD.

That's a nice program--it fixes those funky lines very nicely =). I used to play around with ripping DVDs and trying to find good VOB to AVI programs...but the programs were either too expensive, too much hassle to download, or just too frustrating half the time. So now I stick to torrents, lol. Glad you've got a nice handle on this though.

[Hirondelle]

I'm thankful you're doing this too, Zentron! xD

Wooooow I'm sorely upset that the dvds for September are 4kids. We need to send them an email saying we don't want them to make DVDs to avoid any future upset like this. xD I'm really eager to see the Season 3 RAI dub, I hope they're working on it nowwww~

I know what you mean! I downloaded a free software called 'SUPER', but each time I wanted to convert from VOB to AVI, I would have to input a whole load of options and the file size came out like wayyy too large, so I went back to VDM.

I'm thankful you're doing this too, Zentron! xD

Well, if you want to see a good release of series 3 on DVD, you can ask/tell them here: [email protected]
They're the guys who did the GOOD releases that I am using... though of course, don't tell them what I'm doing Wouldn't want to have to deny you anymore vids!

[Zhanneel]

I'll definitely take a moment to email them. And maybe if they have the time they can respond and let me know when they plan to release the Season 3 DVDs.

[Riiana]

LOL Zentron thanks so much for explaing all that

Well I havnt seen any of the RAI versions so I can't really chose between the 4KiDS and the original...

[Zentron]

No probs, and at least now, you get a chance to watch the Rai version. Ignore the little faults of the first series, they iron out in the second series..... which brings me to the next lot of news!

I will have the next 3 episodes out by late tonight, mostly as I am suffering from Labyrinthitis and won't be checking to see if the encode has finished as much as I usually do, to ensure a speedy encode-upload time!

[Riiana]

Thanks so much though!

Urm..you wouldnt mind sending me the link to the videos...would ya ^^

[Zentron]

Thanks so much though!

Urm..you wouldn't mind sending me the link to the videos...would ya ^^

Well this is the place where the videos are: Magic Winx though if you want to download the high-res video files, you will need to join the site.... and make sure you have the H.264/X.264 codec installed on your computer!

*EDIT*
Just wanted to announce, episodes 16-18 are now available for viewing/download!!!

Sweeeet! Thanks Zentron! I know I'm busy too, so no watching episodes for me. It's just go to work and watch Olympics XD.

[Zentron]

Soz for the bad news, but I really want to get this thing that I'm doing out of the way, so I have the time to do all the episodes in one go. I can't keep myself distracted, it'll just take longer... 'tis been more than a year, it can't take forever!

[Zhanneel]

Well good luck with whatever you need to get done =).

[Zentron]

Well good luck with whatever you need to get done =).

Well to make up for today and tomorrow, Monday, I will have 4 episodes, for you to watch!!

[Zhanneel]

Awww thanks, and if you still don't get to it by then don't worry. We are pretty good at waiting...just look at the wait for the movie xD.

[Hirondelle]

Oh it's all good Zentron! XD It'd be best if I get something productive done than watch the show anyway. xDD I really don't mind the wait, it just makes the next episodes you upload even better!

&seriously, about the movie. Haha After I saw the screencaps I really can't wait to watch the whole thing and FINALLY know what's going on, but it's all good. I'm not about to go crazy or anything, I'd rather have it done right than have errors in it~

I'm editing this because I don't want to double post xD
Wow, I'm INCREDIBLY upset.
I looked on Michael's Favorites, and I saw that the season 3 dvds were to be released in October from some site...I'm so glad before jumping to conclusions I looked at recent posts because I remember the mention of a dvd being released unfortunately by 4kids. I thought Funimation was pretty good so maybe they're the right company. I'm wrong. The descriptions were the same, just a different site.

But hey, I'm glad I looked that up first to compare before I got mine, and everybody else's hopes up. For a second I felt like I found Eden or something D:

The next episode will be done in about an hour and twenty-five minutes, it will take about two hours and fifteen minutes to upload.

Zhanneel brought the same thing up earlier in this thread. Y'know, we should email FUNimation to release the Rai versions, instead of the yucky 4Smegs ones!!

[Hirondelle]

Great!

That'd be a really good idea! I thought that Funimation was a respectable company too...considering they do Shin-Chan, you know they aren't crazy about moderation for children...

[Zentron]

Is the FUNimation version of 'Crayon Shin-chan' the uncut one? If yeh, then they could have released Winx Club uncut and unedited.

BTB, the upload is taking longer for some reason, I'd say another hour for the first episode, grrr!

*EDIT*
OK, maybe more than an hour!!

*EDIT EDIT*
Huzzah, 'The Spy In The Shadow' has been added to my Veoh channel.... finally!!!

Whooo! Thanks x the-opposite-of-zero =P

[Zentron]

Whooo! Thanks x the-opposite-of-zero =P

Well if you search for the titles, 'The Power Of Charmix' and 'Wildland - The Great Trap' sometime tonight, you'll find them!

Oh, and the episode 'The Village Of Pixies' is now added to my channel!!

[Zhanneel]

Great! I'll look for them while watching the Olympics ^^

[Zentron]

Well, you should now find those episodes in my channel, I'll have the final episodes of Winx Club series 2 either today or tomorrow!!

[Zhanneel]

Downloading now ^^ I had a late start this morning =P

[Zentron]

Downloading now ^^ I had a late start this morning =P

And you'll be downloading again tonight too!! The next encode will finish in about an hour, then in two and a bit hours later, it should be up in my channel, shortly followed by another episode!!

Also, I should remind, there is only 4 episodes left in total, so these will be the last ones I upload... until Mondo Home Entertainment release the third series on DVD of course!!

[Zhanneel]

Awww, thanks so much. I had an frustrating day at work so this will help.

[Hirondelle]

Haha, yep they're the ones who did that. I just went to their site, they do a lot of animes and real shows too...which were unexpected. I could almost forgive them for releasing 4kids dvds of Winx Club. Maybeee it'd be interesting what they'd say about the idea of releasing RAI english Winx Club dvds.

Anyways, I just got caught up with the episodes! xD thanks for uploading them! I'm amazed there's only a few episodes left in the season...I'm going to have to find something to divert my attention while there's no season 3 episodes out in good quality. D:

If they get wind that we don't want the 4Kids TV versions anymore but the Rai instead, I'm sure a few heads will start rolling!

Yep, now just two left! Two left, until the start of series 3... which I don't have I'm just wondering if they are stalling with the 3rd series DVDs, until series 4 gets its first TV airing, which'll be fine if that is the case, but I just can't stand waiting at times!!

OK, I will have the last two up tonight, then I can mourn being less of series 3!

[Hirondelle]

yeah, that's true. If they knew that people, especially in America, would love to get their hands on the RAI dub, I think they'd have the smarts to switch haha I wonder how much money they're possibly getting off the dvds for 4kids too...I mean, it's not a real widespread thing, at least in my area; I don't even see the dolls anymore. (Which I sorely regret and kick myself for not buying that darn Flora doll I saw....)

Great! They probably are stalling... D: I can't imagine why though, how long has it been out now? I think they're overdue for the DVD honestly. If they're waiting for season 4...I don't know what I'd do, since that's planned for 2009, isn't it?

The DVD's stopped after just the two, here in the UK, obviously wasn't selling much here.... I wonder why?!

I hope so, but as I said, I hate waiting.... heh, now there's a word you can't utter in the 4Kids forum, 'hate'! I'd get banned for using that word

As for how long the series 1 + 2 DVDs have been out for, I don't know

[Zhanneel]

*starts to mourn* :'(

hmm...that wasn't nearly dramatic enough =P

[Zentron]

*starts to mourn* :'(

hmm...that wasn't nearly dramatic enough =P

Yeah, I agree.....

Right, well the final video encode will be finished in about..... oooo, 0 seconds!! OK, it'll take about two hours for the first vid to upload, then the next, in about three hours...give-or-take! So in about 4 hours, search for the titles, 'Face To Face With The Enemy' and 'The Ashes Of The Phoenix', as usual, they should be marked as being released by me... well, SamOtaku!

Wow, after two weeks? Pitiful! XD I don't know how long the dvds have lasted here at all...my best bet though is that they debated for several days and decided on "no" cause I never see them <<;

Haha, you can't say hate on the 4kids forum? Oh man...I've heard that place is such a mess. I've considered signing up there just for the entertainment of fights, but hey, that's not mature. >D

Lastly, I'm keeping my eye on the videos tonight! I can't wait to begin downloading~

[Zhanneel]

I just might be awake to download them since I can't stop watching the Olympics =P.

[Zentron]

Well that's it everyone, the last two episodes are up and available for viewing/download in my channel, Magic Winx. They mark the end of my run of uploads... for a long time to come, as I don't have series 3 on DVD.

Hope you've enjoyed seeing the show as it was meant to be!

Peace out!!

[Zhanneel]

Lol, thanks so much for the millionth time! I will now perform the funeral ceremony in memory of Rai Winx episodes. Eww...now I have to go to youtube =X.

[Zentron]

If somebody would record the show off the TV and put it up on Veoh, that'd be great, but so far... nothing!

I just wish YouTube would up its quality or allow decent video downloads, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon!

If everyone would email [email protected] and tell them how much they loved their 1st and 2nd series Winx Club DVDs (of course not mentioning my uploads) and that you would love to have the 3 series from them, that'd be great. They'd know how much interest people have and may convince them to release the DVDs... of course, I'd like you all to buy them for yourselves, but I'll be getting them anywayz, and upload them if you can't afford or actually purchase them!

[Zhanneel]

I *could* afford them...but then I'm not a DVD collecting person =P. But I will email them from all of my email addresses ^^.

[Hirondelle]

Le sigh, now here's the wait for season 3 to be released and then ripped. D: what I love about these DVD quality episodes is that they are perfectly flawless and bright to where they make great graphics. And the enchantix just haaaas to be season 3! I'm trying to get all of their fairy dust pictures (that is if they even all have them, I don't remember Bloom even using hers in the 4kids version...actually I just remember Stella's and Flora's) and I can't do that without the RAI.

Anyway, I never email companies, but I'll definitely do so for this instance! I just feel strange I'm writing in english and the site's italian; that doesn't matter, right? xD; I'd like to buy them too, support what I love AND have the actual DVDS (I have 0 winx merchandise...not even something as insignificant as a sticker.) I just don't know about ordering overseas though...I've never ordered something from so far away.

Ugh, and I had the misfortune to find these DVDS, I don't know if anybody has mentioned them before, and I don't think they're the bad DVDs with Mono sound, but they're still just Italian. Unless Dolby is another word for english. Which I doubt. :<
