How do I know if a VCD is dubbed/subtitled?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

Hello,

I'm new to the area of VCDs. I'm looking for movie files (legally) that I can copy onto my computer, re-encode and then play on my Pocket PC using Divx, WMP, or PocketTV. I've found some sites that sell VCDs, but I don't want to buy a movie that's dubbed into a language other than English, or has subtitles. If a place is selling a Hollywood movie, can I safely assume it's in English unless it states otherwise? How about cartoons, such as the Simpsons or Futurama? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The reputable VCD houses always tell what language a VCD is in and what subtitles, if any, it has. I can recommend the following: www.getvcds.com www.allvcds.com www.vcdgallery.com VCDgallery ships by surface mail, which is slow. They others use FedEx and you can get your discs in 2-3 days after ordering. I own all the commercial Simpsons and Futurama VCDs and they are in English with no subtitles.
