I bought DVDs from Amazon.com. One was a double feature and one was a triple feature. Inside the case only one DVD is marked so that I know what it is. The other two discs have no markings at all. Is this normal when you buy a double or triple feature? Thanks!

Clint Eastwood
Honkytonk Man
Pink Cadillac
City Heat has a label.

It is becoming more common.

Many movies now sold on DVD have the 4:3 video format on one side and Wide screen (16:9) on the other. Some put the main feature on one side and "special features" on the other. Either way, it doesn't leave much room for labels. There is usually a printed ring around the center hole in the disc with the movie name and/or a "Side A/Side B" indicator though.

In your case, the 3-movie set has Honkytonk Man on Disc 1/Side A, Pink Cadillac on Disc 1/Side B and City Heat on Disc 2. That doesn't leave any room for a label on Disc 1. The trade off for losing the labels is that by buying them as a set you saved $10-$12.

I just wanted to make sure I didn't get bootleg copies!
