- problem with Xjuggler 2/15/2025 8:40:11 AM You can still buy from xJuggler… just choose the bank transfer option on checkout. You will get an email with the banking details. Then create a wise.com account to send the funds. You can use your credit card to fund the wise.com transaction. I’ve done this multiple times since the change without problems. It works very well.

- Haley Paige full scene from Butt Cream Pie 2 2/15/2025 8:29:56 AM Juice30 wrote: a9nostic wrote: I can sympathize with anyone looking for a Hailey Paige scene. What about this: <link> Well I know all her other creampie scenes and I was looking specifically for this one since a Jon Dough creampie is a different creampie than a usual one. Also they were shot pretty naturally what makes em so hot. FYI I have Butt Cream Pie 2 on DVD as well as the “Butt Cream Pie” 5 pack. The standalone DVD also has the scene cut (and it look compressed which is odd). And the 5 pack is NOT 5 Butt Cream Pie DVDs but rather Stuff My Ass Full Of Cum 5-9. So I’m guessing the full scene is lost to time.
- Where do you store your downloaded porn ? 2/4/2025 7:16:49 AM Sodomite wrote: Factor in the price of hard discs which may vary by location, it is a small price to pay for peace of mind knowing that your media/data is backed up locally. ie not on some dodgy remote server ("cloud" never understood the deliberate misuse of that word in relation to computing) that you don't have access to, especially when your internet connection fails. The problem with local-only backups is disaster recovery. If you get broken into and your stuff is all stolen or god forbid a natural disaster or fire consumes everything you’re out of luck. Backblaze is very affordable for backing up external connected drives and is anything but dodgy. Ive been using them for over a decade not just for my “stash” but for all of my person...
- Where do you store your downloaded porn ? 2/2/2025 3:53:58 PM I've toyed with the idea of a NAS but I won't store anything on hard drives without offline backups (no matter what kind of data) and off site (i.e. online) backup solutions for NAS can be very expensive. For this reason I use a 24TB external hard drive connected to my Mac and backed up with BackBlaze. The basic BackBlaze plan has no storage limit but it only works with drives connected to a computer (i.e. not a NAS system). In case of a disaster they will break your data up into 8TB zipped chunks and mail it to you on however many hard drives it takes. You have to pay for the recovery drives but you can return them for a refund. Edited by - Takeo on 2/2/2025 3:54:30 PM
- Upscaling Vintage Porn. Software recommendations? 2/2/2025 3:48:58 PM I'm guessing the only way to "fix" the tracking lines would be to crop the frame a little smaller. In any case I think the go-to software for easy DIY upscaling is Topaz Video AI. Some people cobble together a complex workflow using various command line tools but Topaz AI is easy peasy and gives really good results. As you say though, garbage in / garbage out. If the source material isn't great you can't expect miracles. But for well lit / well shot / well authored DVD from the early 2000's I've seen pretty stunning results. That material as the advantage that a lot of it was damn good quality to start with for SD video.
- Problems with RLD & Platinum X titles 2/2/2025 3:36:20 PM I gotta say it kinda sucks being a DVD collector 2 decades later and getting a rare Platinum X DVDs with this horrible chromatic fringing. Anything from 2004/5 I tend to avoid because I'm worried it will look like shit. All the actresses have 4 eyebrows… their actual eyebrows and then a blue/green pair off to the right. LOL. Oh well. Fascinating to read this old thread though. What a time capsule. RIP Brandon. Edited by - Takeo on 2/2/2025 3:38:03 PM
- AdultDVD.com Anybody try them? 12/21/2024 2:40:38 AM HeartBBWanal wrote: Go to adultsvdmarketplace com if you wanna straight up order DVDs. As noted, this company sells on ADM. I’m wary of any listing on that site that says it’s “new” but has no artwork. Adult Deals isn’t the only seller on there selling bootlegs. Sometimes a DVDr is from the studio but some stuff I’ve bought on ADM was obviously a bootleg.
- Recent DVDs I've bought are poor quality 9/29/2024 9:01:47 AM Bella wrote: One of the big problems with American DVD's isn't the original native resolution film directly from the camera, but in transfer to DVD disk, they did a poor job in DVD production Very interesting post. I collect American porn in the 2000-2005 era and one thing that is very disappointing is that there was a whole era around 2004 where RLD and Platinum X released DVDs with this absolutely horrible chromatic aberration. All the edges of the performers have this horrible blue or green ghosting. I found a thread on here about it where this was pointed out and late Brandon Iron got very defensive about it claiming they made the best quality product in the industry. I’m thinking TVs at the time just didn’t reveal these poor quality t...
- Recent DVDs I've bought are poor quality 8/2/2024 9:53:55 AM Bear in mind this movie is from 2002. The in-camera image quality wouldn’t have been as good as with today’s equipment. VLC wouldn’t be an issue.
- Profiting Off Deceased Performers? 6/18/2024 5:53:09 AM I agree with ISD88. My feeling is that the question presumes there is something shameful about how these performers lived and died. Even if there was (which is a personal judgement that will vary from person to person) is that a reason to delete their body of work or stop offering it for sale posthumously? Why were you ok with it when they were alive but not after they passed? I’m sure we can think of a lot of mainstream examples of artists and performers that lived or died in ways that some people would deem shameful… but as long as the work is legal content that was legally produced most people would not say it should be deleted because, and only because, the person has passed away. I understand that context matters and empathy is importa...

- Red Light District Stickers and Red Discs 2/2/2024 8:28:47 AM Here's a funny thing, most of the DVDs that RLD produced and released in red had playing issues like pixalating, and freezing, but the the legal normal DVD that are produced today, don't have any those issues as I have both the red and normal (ex. silver) to compare. Yup. I ended up accumulating THREE copies of the same RLD title from various American sellers trying to find a copy that would play smoothly (all red disks). No luck. Finally got a copy off Jeedoo produced on a normal silver disk by Platinum X Europe and it plays perfectly! I also finally just found a disk I’ve been searching for for years… and it’s on a red disk. It hasn’t arrived yet but I’m worried it will have issues. I hope not as it’s a “holy grail” find for me. Every ti...
- DO NOT use adultdvd.com (its a scam) 12/18/2023 7:08:32 AM Seijuro wrote: I can vouch for all the Evil Angel titles I've bought from them, even the old titles. I don't think they have the rights to reprint from Stagliano so they must only sell originals from Evil. Aside from that you can't trust any thing you are getting as an original copy. That said, if you know your DVD was an older title originally on DVD5, you can at least guarantee full quality even if it is a reprint. I have gotten studio originals from them before as well from various studios. I don’t think anyone is saying they exclusively sell cheap reproductions. But I’ve gotten burned by them too many times to the point not that I will never buy from them again unless it’s something I absolutely can’t find anywhere else and I buy with ...
- DO NOT use adultdvd.com (its a scam) 10/16/2023 9:19:13 AM Truly the worst company. I accidentally bought something from them on ADM (didn't realize they were the seller and didn't notice the DVD was a sleeved reproduction and almost certainly a bootleg) so I emailed within minutes of my order asking for a refund and… total silence. Crickets. No communication at all. Edited by - Takeo on 10/16/2023 9:19:30 AM Edited by - Takeo on 10/16/2023 9:22:29 AM

If a movie was originally on a DVD9 disc they will take the cheap option and compress the data so it fits on a DVD5. This drops the image quality significantly… Oh I did not know that! I’ve been trying for years to find an original copy of a Platinum X DVD (Cum Guzzlers 3) and the only copies I’ve ever been able to find are “sleeved” copies from AdultDVD or CD Universe and the image quality is horrendous. Extremely blocky. It’s clearly been highly compressed. It must be this DVD9 to DVD5 issue. I wouldn’t mind a “sleeved” copy or bootleg if it was an untouched copy / clone of the original but the sleeved versions of this title are almost unwatchable. So bad. I thought I found a copy ...

So the red DVDs are the first batch, and the normal colored disc are the later/today batch. Oh that’s interesting! I collect old DVDs and although I’m often happy to get a red copy because I know it’s an original first run, I have had issues making ISO backups of the red disks more than once! Although they will play in a physical drive. It’s frustrating though because I want to view them via my media app because it’s 2023 now, not 2005.
- Mike John returns 7/17/2023 8:34:26 AM Lexifan99 wrote: i had to dig a little on jules jordans site but i found current scenes with the terms "spermaholic and no cum dodging allowed" but from what i saw they all contain no more than 3 male performers and some only have 2 in them. i think gone are the days where we see 10 mopes wander in and get sucked off and splooge after the traditional fucking scenes in these series. all of his new scenes seem to take place in "the jules jordan mansion" and just look stylistically like modern scenes directed by jules. that is not a bad thing but it seems his trademark gonzo style is long gone despite his return to the industry. Just searching on "Mike John" seems to work. But I feel the same way. It's amazing to see Mike back behind the came...
