    Do not buy the uni/ku dvd!!!!!

    Got my DVD in the mail today that I bought off unipanthers.com for $30!!

    First of all there is no UNI artwork or whatever you would call it on the cover just a generic NCAA image. The DVD is actually just a burned DVD-R with a sticker label printed on an inkjet printer.

    Second of all there is no extra material. No video from the post game interviews, or comments from coaches or players. It is seriously just the video of the game with the commercials taken out. No Gary Rima Call of the game either.

    And most importantly the Video quality SUCKS I know it's not Blu-ray so I didn't expect hi-def but I really doubt it is even DVD quality.

    Anyone have a hi-def copy recorded that I could get a copy of?

    So it was exactly what it was advertised to be?

      Re: Do not buy the uni/ku dvd!!!!!

      Let's try to have some perspective here.

      I just read a 25 page study commissioned by UNI to justify the continued existence of their football program.

      The Regents are pressuring UNI's administration to come up with a way to reduce or eliminate $5 million in funding from the general fund.

      And right here on UNI's own fan message board, someone is encouraging UNI fans to not buy a DVD of the greatest hoops win in UNI history because it is not HD quality?

      Perhaps there is a bigger picture here. Perhaps it is more important to financially support UNI athletics right now than complain that you are not satisfied with the pixel count on your DVD.

        I think he has a right to complain. It sounds like something that was poorly thrown together and then slapped with a $30 pricetag. I'm not even sure UNI is involved with it.

            Is this the product?

            If so, you can't really complain about the first two. It looks pretty much as advertised. I can't comment on the video quality because I haven't seen it, but I would expect a decent SD video if I bought the product.

              Hey, if someone wants to articulate a complaint, they certainly have the right.

              The title of the thread is "Do not but the UNI/KU dvd".

              That is taking it a little far in my opinion.

                UNI had absolutely nothing to do with it. It is an NCAA/CBS joint venture.

                It shows up on the UNI Athletics site because the site is run by cbssports.com.

                  I doubt that UNI makes much money off those DVD sales.

                  If you can find someone who can make you a higher quality copy of the game, you could always get it from them, and then throw an extra $20-$30 donation to the PSC or the athletic department.

                  It would be a win-win situation.

                      I would imagine the only DVD that actually is associated with UNI is the end of the year highlight DVD. That has been put together by Eric Braley and his staff. I got last year's edition and it was fantastic. Can't wait until this year's comes out.
                      The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                        +1. They did an awesome job on it last year.

                          Well I looked again and I don't see where they advertised that the Video would be crappy quality and come on a burned DVD with a label stuck on it. I guess I shouldn't have assumed that a $30 DVD from a $710 million organization would be of some what professional quality.

                            Duh. They don't really care about quality,it is about maximizing profits. Why spend the money on a "professional" finish, when you can pump out what they do for probably a couple bucks, at most, and make a massive profit on it.

                              You looked at that ad, with the cheapest DVD cover I've ever seen depicted, and thought you were getting a Hollywood quality piece of film?
