I've been dealing with video beat since the 1990s. Several times I've asked if they could locate a rare film for me. Most of the time they deliver. I just scored a movie from them I asked for 5 years ago. They finally found it and contacted me. THANK YOU! Another fun film from Video Beat is now in my library. Thanks again.
Sells bootleg DVDs of rare movies, rock concerts, TV shows from 1950s and 60s that are not available commercially. You will receive the product if you order from them--they are prompt in shipping. Nicely packaged in clamshell cases. Owner claims he'll replace defective DVDs--a "lifetime guarantee." However, there's now some conditions he's added since I first ordered from him: after 12 months, if any of their DVDs fail, you have to buy a new DVD at full price (no discounts) in order to receive a replacement for your defective DVD. Great to find such rare movies and you'll receive them, but if something goes wrong after the one year mark, the owner is not pleasant to deal with, plus you'll still have to make a full-priced purchase before getting your replacement DVD. Had to contact him several times about getting a replacement--doesn't respond quickly to emails. Questionable quality of DVDs used to make copies since some of mine have stopped working. Expensive; prices usually start at $19.99 (with a 10% discount code that's offered immediately.) Even so, his bootleg DVDs end up being more than most commercial DVDs on available Amazon. Picture quality varies. You run the risk that his homemade DVDs may not work after a few years, like what happened to mine. My suggestion if you buy from this guy: make a backup on a better quality DVD.

Tip for consumers:
Read their return policy carefully. Read their Lifetime Warranty policy carefully because you'll need to buy a new title at full price (no discount code) in order to get a replacement DVD for your defective one. Be aware these are all homemade bootleg DVDs being offered, and that they may not work after a few years. Picture quality varies--make sure you read the descriptions of the titles you're interested in, since picture quality is discussed and/or rated.

Bootleg DVDs of rare rock 'n roll movies, concerts, TV shows from 1950s-60s. Was a long-time customer until some of the DVDs stopped working.
Pretty much gave up searching for video of my father on TV in the 60s when he was in a rock and roll band. But the my entire families delight, VideoBeat has the episode and it's great quality. Thank you!
I purchased "The Beatles in Germany, 1966" and was very dissatisfied with the content and quality. The two hour DVD included very little live concert footage and alot of useless filler, i. E. extraneous crowd scenes from outside the concert that kept being repeated. The video quality resembled VHS recordings and the audio was poor at best and often unintelligible during interviews. Audio during concert songs was often disconnected from the video, i. E George Harrison singing on the video while audio was on an instrumental segment. The description of this DVD sounded great but it was a very poor product. For a cost of $20, this DVD was a total rip off. I emailed Videobeat, explained my disappointment, and asked for a refund. Their reply is below. I'll never buy another DVD from them and warn others to be very wary.
"You clicked "accept official policy" when you checked out. If people have a nice tone and attitude I'm inclined to make exceptions.
I'm sorry I only offer exchanges for defective discs."
The "unofficial policy" also stated they would generally make refunds because they only want satisfied customers. Apparently I had a bad "tone and attitude" because I told them exactly what was wrong with the DVD.
