Could anyone tell me if there were different case colours for the Body Blast series? I just recieved a copy of one of the DVDs off of Ebay and it came in a white case while all of the others that I have received straight from Cathe.com have been in a black case, so I'm worried that it might not be legit. Thanks for any help!
DVD Case colour for Body Blast series?

We only use black cases. FYI: Probably half the Cathe DVDs that are sold on EBAY are illegal copies.This has become a major problem for us and many other DVD companies. Many of these illegal copies also compress the audio and video file down so the workout will fit on a single layer disc instead of a dual layered disc. This means the quality is cut almost in half.x(
Oh no, thanks so much for the reply. I actually did one of the workouts and was a bit surpised because I have the Intensity series and the quality of this one seemed lower. Is there any other way I can tell that it is a fake? On the listing there was a whole paragraph about the seller being against fake copies, too.
The same thing happened to me when I won PH/MIS/BM off EBay (white case, poor quality, etc.). I'm not sure if this is true for all bootleg copies, but you may want to check the inner circle on the backside of the DVD - do you see a symbol that says "ifpi W400" with a little half-circle over it? NONE of my other Cathe DVDS (ordered directly from SNM) has this symbol, but my bootleg copy sure did! I see that the seller is still selling on EBay, too. x(

I had this same problem on eBay--I think it was the same DVD PH/MIS/BM. Good news is when I told the seller I suspected the DVD was inauthentic, he gave me an immediate refund. I think one big (and easy to see) indicator is how cheaply the DVD is listed. If they're only asking 9.99 or something for a Cathe DVD, probably something is up! (Though I know there are people selling genuine used DVDs.) I still get good DVDs on eBay but still pay full price (or close to it) for them--I prefer the seller lilysrosen who is the same woman who owns www.advancedworkouts.com. I also sell my own used DVDs on eBay so it annoys me that these bootleg losers drive away buyers. (However, the only time I sold a Cathe is when I accidentally had 2 of the same exact DVD--I keep all my Cathe stuff!)
