Could somebody who has a copy of 300 on *DVD* check something for me?

I picked up a copy of 300, 2-disc from an Amazon seller and I suspect it may be a bootleg.
For starters, when inserting the disc, Finder shows the disc's name as being 'xiaochang'. After seeing that, I decided to fire up MacTheRipper and it says that not only does the disc lack a region code, but it also lacks copy protection. Which is funny since the movie backing explicitly says that the movie is copy-protected. And HandBrake has no problem starting a conversion directly from the disc.
Could somebody who has the same movie at least check to see what Finder lists the disc's name as being?
Thanks.

Nope... "300" as the title of the first disc and "300_Bonus_Disc" on the second.

Wonderful.
Yeah, it was $9.99 and came from a reputable seller (tens of thousands of feedback). It's a pretty convincing bootleg though. Even has the cardboard 'slip' that the case slides into.
I sent an e-mail to the seller last week and still haven't received a response. Think I'll shoot off an e-mail to Amazon now.

No problem.
BTW, if you are still looking to buy a copy of 300 (and now you know I have the real version), I have mine for sale.
I got the BluRay version and don't need the SD version now.

Oddly enough, I finally snagged an HD DVD player tonight. And they all come with 300 in the box. So it looks like I needn't worry about my crummy bootleg anymore.
Thanks for the offer though cjrivera. I'd have taken you up on it had my Visa not gone out for a walk tonight.

since you got an HD version of it, does that mean this thread can be locked?
