On DVDs like this

I asked about the info in japanese and was told by the site there is only 1 disc. If its just one disk and a Genuine DVD..how many episodes will be on the dvd?
I'm not sure, but it's probably less than ten. Honestly, if you're just buying it for the dvd part, I recomend you just by the HK bootlegs which are about $29.95 for 30 episodes.
Four episodes, which is the same as the Japanese official VHS releases. If nothing else, you can tell from the running time how many episodes it'd contain. So 96 minutes = four episodes.

Dude, no way! The HK bootlegs are not only illegal, meaning that Oda and Toei get no money from them, but they're super-duper crappy on top of that. They're only good for a laugh, but I wouldn't blow money on them if you're looking to seriously collect because they, you know, suck like whoah.
If you want to go bootleg, stick with digital fansubs. They're higher quality, have better translations and don't look like bad television rips subtitled by people who don't speak either English or Japanese. And although Oda and Toei still won't be making any money off of them, being that they're fansubs, unlike HK no one else is making any money off of them either.

You know the Japanese DVDs don't have any subtitles, right?

There is another legitimate way to purchase OP on DVD.

The official R3 release. It's nearly 1/4th of the price of the R2 discs. I'm not sure about the video quality itself but I do know that it doesn't have hardsubs.

Just wanted to throw that out there. 
EDIT: Before you buy any sort of foreign DVDs, make sure your DVD player is region-free and supports the format (NTSC or PAL) of the DVD your purchasing.
