Incredibles DTS - Did I Buy a Pirated Version??

So I'm becoming increasingly convinced that something's up with the copy of The Incredibles I just bought from a local video rental place ($10, used).

It is a 1-disc version and has "DTS DIGITAL SURROUND SOUND" labelled across the top, and the cover and DVD face are completely professional. It is Region 1, supposedly made in the USA. The cover even has the holographic look to it.

Here are some pics:




















Any thoughts? Anyone have any contact info for Disney or another company I can call about piracy and check the stock/ISBN #?

Thanks!

I figured it was.. I read that post, but wanted to make sure it was the same deal, since the pics were slightly different.

Any thoughts on what I should do? I was going to just take it back to the store and get my money back... and ask him where he got it. Because he obviously rented it for a month or two before selling it.

I was also thinking of contacting Disney... maybe they'll give me a REAL copy of the Incredibles if I send them this pirate one and info on its origins?

Looks like it is sitting on the back of a truck.

there is no incredibles w/ dts anywhere in the world. that should have been the first thing you noticed. then there's the dvd9 sticker.

that's what freaked me out.. especially since i live in rural nova scotia.. not exactly a hotbed of illegal dvd trading.

my laptop wouldn't even read the dvd, but my mac does. the DTS track won't play from the computer, but it works in my dvd player. i'll check it out tonight and see what's up..

closing thread as it's a bootleg.. okcomputer asked a question..and got an answer...

you should return the dvd and get your money back, and/or report the store for selling bootlegs in my opinion..
