Laserdisc
Wouldn't it be cool if someone bought this and made a nice mpeg or DiVX dump for internet leeches everywhere!

It would be a movie not a game.
There are quite a few great movies released on laserdisk that have not made it to DVD yet, these include: The Back to the future series, Star wars 4,5,6 and the Indiana Jones movies. These discs would look alot better then the VHS tape, but nowhere as good as DVD's do today (and they wont have dts/dolby digital sound). One thing I cant remember, was the data on these huge discs compressed or not? Ever try to see a movie with very quick action (bruce lee) on a dvd? there are alot of artifacts that you dont get watching on analog vhs tape. Anyway ebay is doing maintenance cant see the movie title |

DVDs advantage is small size, DD 5.1, multi views (Not many DVD's take advantage of this feature though) more than one language, directors commentary etc. Another advantage of Laserdisc is you can get discs dirt cheap and some Laserdiscs are not on DVD. You can buy DVD/Laserdisc combo units if you want the best of both worlds. |

My dream is to have movies on 1 disk the size of a cd that hold HDTV quality movies (blue ray dvd hold 100's of gb's). What sucks now is that technology is changing so fast that the medium you collect movies gets changed very fast, The days that VHS format lasted forever are gone, 10 years will be tops for a format soon. |
