the release entered on MBz is official, it's only the files people are
(likely) tagging against that are incomplete (although not bootlegged
- they are just without the video).

imagine if it was possible (and it essentially is) to rip a DVD
completely, such that you got one chapter = 1 video+audio file, and
the tagger could tag these files directly - then our MBz entry for a
DVD would be no different to that of a CD.
