| | Posted: | | | | Lions Gate is putting round clear stickers on the DVDs to hold them in place.
Found on the discs in Weeds Season Five. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | Are they leaving residue? Otherwise, this seems like a good thing...unless they are sticking to the disc or the artwork and damaging them rather than preventing floaters! | | | | Lori |

| | Posted: | | | | True. The best thing I've seen to hold the discs in place was a piece of styrofoam that was placed between the disc hub and the cover so the disc couldn't migrate...but probably not very eco friendly. | | | | Lori |

| | Posted: | | | | Why put something that can damage the disc when the solution for loose disc is easy and exist already? This is how Video-X-Pix does it and no disc can move this way  The disc enter in the middle plastic thing and there are 2 locker at the top and the bottom to keep them in place. No need to re-invent the wheel when the wheel works already... | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |

| | Posted: | | | | Lionsgate are annoying with their packaging. On many DVD's and some Blu-rays they put those security stickers at the top and bottom of the package. If the cover is even slightly under those stickers...it's a hassle to get it undone without simply tearing the covers. Sometimes they have them on all three opening sides of the cases. Seriously, what other studio still puts 2 or 3 security stickers on the outside package?  | | | | Corey |

Sadly there is a reason they all re-invent the wheel... because the present varieties of wheel have the individual mechanisms patented so to use them they have to pay the patent holder. It's much cheaper for them to invent their own, slightly different, method even if (as is often the case) it isn't as good  | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

TBH that doesnt look convenient at all  The best ones are thinpak's, theres an opposite middle piece on the other side, so even if it does get loose, it doesnt get scracthed as it cant move sideways  |

| | Posted: | | | | I've actually never seen that locking down mechanism before either...could it be exclusive to one company/country? | | | | Lori |

| | Posted: | | | | I like those from the thinpacks, but almost as soon as I get home I will remove the disc from their package and place them in my carrousels. | | | | Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer. |

But like Voltaire replied after me Video-X-Pix probably own the copyright for this type of mechanism. Maybe I should email Steven Morowitz to ask him... |
