What's the issue with Second Hand Video?
According to Polish buyers, there are three or four problems:
- they used an inferior x264 encoder instead of the superior h264; about 20% of the space on the single-layer disc was left unused;
- some logos and the barcode were used as JPG images in lower resolution;
- a price change (increase then reduction) of the collector's edition during the subscription period.

Filmokaz has a
website, but there's nothing on it yet but a link to their Facebook page
Filmokaz's website will probably be operational in September, because it doesn't make sense to me to start sales during the summer. I hope their first release won't suffer from the usual teething problems that such releases tend to have (see, for example, the Polish label Second Hand Video). However, I think the long-term problem will be securing the rights to release subsequent films.
I just want to make sure I get an order in as soon as it's possible. Wasn't certain what the timeline for this release is.
