About Us / F.A.Q.

Modcinema.com functions as a conversion service for collectors of hard-to-find movies. We do not sell factory sealed DVDs. Our DVD-R's are reproductions/conversions from public domain sources.

All DVD's come in a standard case with full color artwork and the title of the film laser printed on the surface of the disc.

What is Modcinema.com?

Modcinema.com is a video service specializing in rare, unreleased, and hard to find 60's/70's/80's films, documentaries, tv shows, commercials, and trailers for the serious video collector. We offer movies unavailable and not officially released on DVD domestically or worldwide.

How good are the quality of your DVD's?

The quality varies wildly. While most of our prints are excellent and transferred from a digital source, some (because of their rarity, coupled with unavoidable PAL or SeCAM transfer distortions, video transfers from foreign television broadcasts, etc.) are less than perfect. However, do provide "screen captures" of every single film we have available, so that you can view the picture quality yourself before you buy, that way you know exactly what you're getting.

Will you ship international? Will your DVD's play in my country's DVD player?

All DVD's available thru modcinema.com are coded Region 0. This means that there is no region code and they will play on almost any DVD player worldwide regardless if it's an NTSC machine or PAL machine. Almost all DVD players sold in PAL countries play both kinds of discs (NTSC & PAL). These multi-standard players partially convert NTSC to a 60-Hz PAL (4.43 NTSC) signal. The player uses the PAL 4.43-MHz color subcarrier encoding format but keeps the 525/60 NTSC scanning rate. Most modern PAL TVs can handle this "pseudo-PAL" signal. We have sold DVD's to dozens of countries and have received almost no reports of incompatibility.

Can you guarantee I'm getting the best quality transfer available?

We are constantly upgrading the source of our films to make sure you're getting the highest quality transfer available. If you have purchased a film from us in the past and notice we now offer a new transfer of that same title, you are eligible to receive a free upgrade disc with your next purchase. 

How do you ship? How soon will I get it?

We ship using USPS. We typically dispatch orders twice a week. US orders usually arrive within a week of shipment, please allow 2-3 weeks for international orders.

Is Modcinema DCMA compliant?

Yes, Modcinema is DCMA compliant. To have a title removed please contact us with your concern.
