What do you have the Balto movie in??

For me I have

Balto 1 : DVD and VHS

Balto 2 : VHS    want it in DVD
I have Balto on VHS and Balto 2 on DVD. when Balto 3 comes out I'll get it on DVD :D
Both on DVD! ^.^

C. Lucky
I'm gonna get Balto 3 on DVD too I think it will be better.
Both on DVD and Balto on VHS as well
I have em both on DVD. Alot better in my oppinion. And I dont have to worry about the video machine eating my tape. YOu do not know how many times my old video player use to do that.

it use to make me so mad.  :p  :laugh:
A taped version of Balto on VHS, and both movies on DVD.  I don't know if I'll ever get an official Balto video now that I have a DVD.  :;):
Heh, I'm going to brag a bit now :p

Balto: Original VHS, Region 1 DVD, and Region 2 German DVD.

Balto II: Wolf Quest: Region 1 DVD, soon to have the Region 2 German DVD :;):
I've got both Balto and Wolf Quest on VHS. I've been too lazy to order the DVD yet.
Balto on region 2 DVD which is actually widescreen
Balto 2 on same as above
Balto on VHS, I have 2 official VHS copies and about 6 versions taped from the tv. I had to have backup copies until it came out on DVD
Balto on both Brazillian and American region 1 DVDs.
Balto 2 on region 1 DVD.
Hehe..
Cute Avetar Echo-Husky ^^
Anyways, i dont think mine Wolf�s quest is in widescreen. And its an "cheap" region 2 disc. With the bad cover. I like the one on the region 1 DVD.
Info:
Wolfs Quest is called: Det store vand in danish meaning: The great water in english. Hmmm.. o.O
Gah, I forgot I also have the Brazilian version of Balto on DVD.  ^_^;\n\n

Where'd you get the Brazilian one from?  o_O?

I have both the first and second movie on VHS.  I should really start buying the DVDs, shouldn't I?
I have both of them in DVD zone 2. The first Balto is in widescreen, and the second in 4/3. I don't think Wolf quest has been released in widescreen?
I have both balto's on VHS, though I'm thinking of getting rid of them both. I have the first balto on DVD, but I'm debating or not to get B2 on DVD. I guess if I feel the need to support a company, I'll buy it but it won't be tell I get off my lazy butt to do so.
I have them both on DVD. Although, I'm looking for one that's in wide that I can play on my fancy DVD player. It can play VCD's, so, maybe I'll get that. How is the rez and color on VCD's?  ???

Wow, I seriously never mentioned it before? O_o;  To answer your question, 27 gave me the link to the store a few months ago.  Then I saw Echo got one, so I went for it. ^^;  And they have the DVD up on Ebay every so often.  It has three regions, including region 1, so none of that funky DVD drive flashing has to be done to watch it.

I need to start getting DVD's more because my laptop can play DVD's :p

Anyway the answer to your question is I have Balto on video tape. But its what I recorded from the TV lol. But shhh :;):

Yes their is :D  steetboris found a website that said It was coming out on November 8th(But this is only a maybe)
If that date is true, then, that'll be a day-early birthday present for my mom!   :;):
It seems that everyone here will buy Balto 3 on DVD and not VHS. Soon I'm sure that they will stop selling films on video tape (except for recording)

Oh really? I am soo getting it when it comes out! Do you have a link to the site?
I have the original Balto VHS and WQ VHS.

I should look into getting DVDs. >_>
Roxi I think it's coming out in January!
But I am not sure but that's what it says on most websites

Or SimbasGuard is probably right but like he said it's only a maybe.

No I don't, But steetboris posted one in the Any Official Balto 3 Info Thred. In the Balto Sequels Pat of The Icy Boards :D One thing though, The Site is not in English
I got Balto in DvD and WQ in VHS

That's a bit surprising, did you buy WQ before Balto or is it because the VHS was cheaper? Or another reason?

I got WQ before Balto but I want it in dvd
Balto 1 on VHS (Pal), DVD (Australian, widescreen) and Laser Disc.
Balto 2 on VHS (Pal), and DVD (boxed set with the first movie, region, as above)

The Australian DVD has a documentary about the making of Balto, which I was told isn't on the US version. Don't know if it's on the UK.

Personally I think the Laser Disc version looked wonderful.

Loop
The laser disc version must be pretty rare, now.
Concerning the documentary, I think every country has it except the USA (I have the french version and it works)
Does the region 1 DVD have any extras? I used to know but have forgotten. I thought that one region had a historical documentary about the actual events, or the origins of the idatarod or something, but that memory's a couple of years old and may be completely wrong.

Loop
The Region 1 DVD had NOTHING, which really pissed me off.

I'm still hunting around for where I can get the Region 2 DVD... it probably won't have any extras either, but at least it'll be...

WIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

Left side... woooooooOOOOOAAAAAAOOOooow!:p
Why don't you get the Australian (region 4) version? It's widescreen and is still available (albeit only as a boxed set with Wolf Quest.) If interested, here's an Australian DVD seller which stocks it. You'd probably get it cheaper on ebay, but I don't know how often used region 2 or 4 DVD's of the first movie show up there.

(I assumed if your machine plays region 2, it plays region 4 as well - unless you're in England, in which case I guess you just have a region 2 player)

Loop
Hrm!  For $25 + S&H, I could have widescreen Balto...

:D

Thanks for the link, Loop!  I'll definitely look into it, 'n check out my finances.

No worries about Region n stuff.  Thanks to Linux, I don't have to put up with that region crapola.  Hooray for the Penguin!
I want the 2 versions of the 2 movies =P but that its too much here, its very difficult to get the movies... i have walked a lot *sob* and i dont get anything *sob
I have both Balto and WQ on Region 1 DVD.  I hope to get B3 on DVD as soon as it comes out.  Oh, and does anybody know what the DVD-ROM features are on the Region 1 DVDs?
I've never been able to access them. :(  I think there was supposed to be a documentary on it, but region 1 discs don't have it.
The Documentary was supposed to be there.  I was chatting with a friend in AIM, and he suggested looking through the files with a DVD ripping program.  That way we'd know if the documentary was just not included on the main menu, or if Universal neglected to put it there altogether.

However, I did rip the documentary from the Brazilian verson of the DVD.  I've even created a page for it here:

http://www.theicecave.org/balto/documentary.shtml
I have Balto (the first) on VHS...I don't have Wolf Quest...*wants the DVD for extra cool features*
I have Balto on DVD and Balto II on VHS
I have WQ on video, but I want to get all 3 on DVD if they sell them all together or something.
There's good chances that in the US, they will release a double pack a month before the release of B3 (because it is already the case in many countries in europe), and then some months after they will probably release a triple pack.
I wish they would change the covers for the B1 and B2 DVD...
that would be nice, a dvd 2 pack set. i don't like the dvd cover art for bolto, he's to fluffy.
