   So it's possible that they are an authorized edition of the VCD release.   
      
   "All DVDs are presented in full screen, commercial free and unedited.   
   Exactly the same as it was shown in American television."  If they were   
   a screen dub they would have the commercials editted out.  To the extent   
   their claims are true this sounds like a probably un-authorized copy of   
   the VCD release.
