Review: does anybody know exactly what's on this DVD?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Illegal Bootleg.
Review: How was this dvd able to be copyrighted and barcoded? The videos on this dvd were mpeg's from the internet recorded onto dvd-r. I bought this not knowing it was a bootleg. I wonder if Aaliyah's family knows about this illegal bootleg dvd? This just ain't right.
Rest In Peace, Baby Girl!!!!!

Summary: Good enough
Review: I got this DVD when it was first released and when i saw the back i was quite excited that finally someone has released most of Aaliyah's videos on DVD. Although i was anxious to see what "Plus More" was...there was no more and it is just the 14 videos that are listed in the back, it was still more than i ever expected. I do wish one day they will release a legal DVD with ALL of her videos, including videos she appeared in, but this is more than anyone can ask for. I was lucky to get one that works pretty great, i did hear some people who bought this dvd, it didn't even work for them. It contains full videos from start to finish, and even one video which i never saw before until this dvd came out, and I'm glad it did. If one day a legal one comes out I will buy it. Aside from the mispelling on the back of the dvd, and false advertising making you think that there's more on the dvd, I am glad i bought it.
Videos on DVD:
Rock the boat
Are you that somebody?
Back in one piece

Try again
One in a million
If your girl only knew
Four page letter
Back and Forth
Age ain't nothing but a number
At your best
The one i gave my heart to
Journey to the past
Summer Bunnies
I need you tonight

Summary: I own this DVD ...
Review: I love this dvd only because it does have some of Aaliyah's music videos on it. BUT... it is pretty poor quality! You pay full price for this dvd that comes factory sealed.. but I tell you... U couldnt tell the difference between this and a cheap bootleg off the streets!! The music videos are not edited well.. there is some cut off at the begining and the end of the videos and like I said.. the quality is pretty poor. BUT... if you are a huge Aaliyah fan... this is still one that you would want for your collection just for sentimental reasons. But Im warning you... just because this is a dvd factory sealed, that doesn't mean anything... don't expect too much!! You WILL be disappointed.

Summary: not exactly pleased
Review: I was very disappointed with this dvd,I thought that I was paying for a dvd with all of her videos on it,it is also very poor quality, some of the videos that i was hoping to see was not there such as hot like fire,more than a woman we need a resolution.Also the video doesn't excalty play all the way to the end of the video it cuts of and goes into another video.Why won't somebody make a dvd that's in a better quality and has all the video's on it?

Summary: Poor, Bootleg Quality
Review: It is gr8 that they have put Aaliyah music videos on dvd, except 4 this 1. Now eye love and miss aaliyah and her work, but this dvd is in poor, bootleg quality. They coulda made it look better. Eye bought this dvd not no-ing about its poor quality. The limited edition dvd in her nu cd "I Care 4 U" is much better but if ur an Aaliyah fan, u better go out and get it b-cuz it is limited edition and every store eye've been 2 that has it has already stocked the cd w/o dvd but eye've seen some w/ the dvd still in stock. The version with the dvd is no longer in print.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better than nothing.
Review: This DVD contains about 14 of Aaliyah's videos: Rock the Boat, Are You That Somebody?, Back in One Piece, Try Again, One in a Million, If your Girl Only Knew, Four Page Letter, Back and Forth, Age Ain't Nothing But a Number, At Your Best The One I Gave My Heart To, Journey to the Past, and Summer Bunnies. On the back cover it also adds "+ More!", but there is no more - that is it. But that isn't really a big deal.

I was quite surprised that "More Than a Woman" + "We Need a Resolution" were absent from this collection. Clearly this DVD was not an 'official release', so perhaps that shouldn't be surprising. On the main menu page, there is an option to select songs individually by clicking on the 'Chapters' option, but there is only one page with 4 large moving thumbnails for the first 4 songs. When you click on the next page for the next four songs, there are 4 more smaller moving thumbnails with the words' 8 more videos inside' above them. In other words, the chapter/song selection option only allows you to select 8 of the 14 videos in this way. It's obvious that the authoring of this DVD was not done professionally.

As for the quality of the videos, most of them are OK, and it's apparent that they were not specially prepared for the DVD format. "Rock the Boat" is too bright and washed out, so that a lot of the richness of the Caribbean scenery is lost. The quality of the disc in general is sub-standard, and is more reminiscent of VHS rather than DVD. However, it is still watchable, and is the only Aaliyah DVD collection available at present. Considering the circumstances, it is understandable why her record company and family are not in a rush to release an official video collection. Despite everything, I am still grateful that this DVD is available, and it helps to show Aaliyah's unique and diverse talent.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Aaliyah's family needs to know about this illegal DVD
Review: This DVD IS NOT LEGAL. the videos were stolen off the internet from File-sharing programs. They figure, "Oh, she's dead. no use paying for her work" (albums, movies, etc). Well I say, F&*^ THEM!!!!!!!!!! I tried to sell this to a local store that buys used dvds not knowing it was an illegally made DVD and the owner kicked me out. I noticed there was an address where this dvd was made. Anyone who owns this, I would strongly advise you to report this to the police
