1. THE WHITE RING
The genuine Criterion Collection "SALO" DVD has a white inner ring with a slightly frosted appearance.
2. CRITERION CATALOGUE CODE, SDI CODE AND "NIMBUS" LOGO STAMPED ON THE INNER HUB OF THE PLAYING SIDE OF DISC
(a) The correct Criterion Catalogue Code CC1539DVD: Studios invariably have their catalogue codes stamped on the inner hub for identification and proof that it is a legitmate disc.
(b) The mastering SID code (Source Identification Code): IFPI L127. The SID Code is an anti-piracy tool used in the optical disc industry, and is always prefaced by the letters IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry). It basically tells you what what Laser Beam Recorder in which pressing plant mastered and pressed the disc. SID Codes are required on legit discs. If no SID codes are present on a disc, then it is almost certainly a bootleg. For those unfamiliar with SID Codes and their anti-piracy function, please see the website of IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry), where the protocols and significance of SID Codes and information on spotting bootlegs is further explained:
www.ifpi.org (c) The stylized logo "Nimbus". This is the logo of Nimbus CD International, the Virginia-based company that presses DVDs for many studios. It is one of a small number of large concerns that presses legit discs for studios, the other notable ones being WAMO (Warner Advanced Media Operations) and Pioneer.
Identifying these codes is probably the most reliable way of determining that the disc is original and authentic, yet few people know where to look or how to read them.
These codes are only present on authentic discs because they are part of the glass master that presses the disc and cannot be replicated by bootleggers who simply "burn" from another disc.
When buying a used disc, esp a valuable one, if the seller cannot show you the correct and relevant codes on the inside hub, then it is almost certainly a bootleg.
3. 29 CHAPTER STOPS ON THE INSERT
This is another distinguishing feature of the Criterion Collection disc, esp compared to the "Facets" edition.
