ANYONE HAVE THE ORIGINAL DVD OF AGENT CODY BANKS? i HAVE ONE BUT I DON'T KNOW IF ITS PIRATE COPIED OR THE ORIGINAL. THE BOX CASE LOOKS ORIGINAL BUT THE CD IS BLANK WITHOUT THE USUAL FRONT PICTURE ON THE DVD. SO IS THIS AN ORIGINAL OR NOT?

If the disc is completely blank I would be concerned. As even the most basic DVD has a printed label or artwork, IMHO.
Although I am sure someone might come up with an example of one that doesn't.

hi,
do you have the region 1 (R1) DVD of this movie?
If so it comes with widescreen and fullscreen versions. One version on each side, both sides are data which is why there is no label.
Look at the inside ring of the disc and see if it states the movie name or "Widescreen" "Fullscreen" or something like that.
It seems like an original to me as pirates do not go to the trouble of including both versions as it costs more to do this.
Where did you buy it from?
Try putting in the disc on each side and playing the movie. If one side is full screen (no black bars) and the other is widescreen (black bars) then it seems legit and correct to me.
thanks

Easy to forget, I remembered to check this because the last 3-4 DVDs I got from R1 were like this.
