"Hacking" DVDs

[Q_]

Hey just a quick thought,
What if all the DVDs @ your local video store\ Library were replaced w/ DVDs that had the same cover, but were actually better movies (i.e. Twilight -> Die Hard)?
Its just a thought.

It's just a matter of having a DVD burner that will put the image of the other movie onto the DVD you want to change.

Other ideas is to change to squeals. For example put the image from Die Hard 1 on the Die Hard 2 disc.

There's a lot of movies that have been remade, like the Friday the 13th movie. Do the same trick where you put the 80s version on the disc overwriting the newer version.

Remember the old trick of inserting 15 minutes of porn onto a cartoon VHS tape? You'll need some video editing software for that.

Of course you'll have to take precautions from having the DVD mix ups tracking back to you.

I wasn't thinking of altering the original, Just getting a new DVD and using that with a new label, and possibly making two labels and putting one that says say, Behind the Filming of (TITLE) on the orig. and have the other w/ the original label, but different movie. (It would be better to have the big scene at the beginning and ruin the movie for everyone)

that happened when i was in elementary school, durring recess - since it was winter and we could not go outside we were in the auditorium and they put on a video of cartoons.. a few minutes into the video was hard core pornography... it took a few minutes for any of the teachers to realize and shut the tape off...

I bet that was epic.  Were all the kids laughing hysterically or just kind of in shock?

It'd be fun to stick commercials into the movies.  Commercials for Netflix.  Or maybe a commercial for illegal downloading.  Or a video of a Blockbuster Video being demolished.

A friend of mine has a bunch of Wii games that won't play anymore, no matter how much he uses those cleaning things.  I suggested renting the same games from Blockbuster and swapping them.  He'd just have to copy whatever stickers Blockbuster puts on the disc so it looks like its theirs.  That'd be even easier on Redbox machines now that they're starting to rent games.

Oh yeah, speaking of that, Consumerist regularly runs stories about people renting a disc from Redbox and it's some other disc or a CDR with the tiny barcode on it.  Wonder if Redbox can even do anything about that since they don't have the customer's address.

yea it was pretty epic... i was really young, maybe 2nd or 3rd grade, but i think it was a chick blowing some dude or something... all the kids were memorized... wonder if i could find the news article about that somewhere...  probably not since the internet was not really around back then... but i did find this http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2009/06/14/Elementary-school-accidentally-shows-porn/UPI-23811245017512/ which appears that it has happened recently... do not know why a school was going to show the jonas brothers? but at least they got something better to watch even just for 45 seconds...

I see news stories about it occasionally.  At one grade school, the night janitor was putting porn in the classroom VCR player to watch and one night he forgot to take it out.  Next day the kids get to watch a half minute of porn.
