burst? u mean splintered :D hehe..... yeah they were very stylish and the extra size mean u could fit more on however I think they didn't last long enough to put DTS sound on it ?

yeah that was what i was thinking :disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd:

Re: LaserDisc Players?
 

I wouldn't like to be in the way if one came out of the drawer at that speed! OUCH! :Yikes:

Re: LaserDisc Players?
 

The capacity was/is much less than DVD. Many films had to be spread over two discs.

Re: LaserDisc Players?
 

IIRC even the single discs had to be turned over, half way through.

Re: LaserDisc Players?
 

methinks you are right :tu: :)

Re: LaserDisc Players?
 

Yes they did, but lucky me.....my player plays both sides! :) But I still have to wait for the disc to spin down, heads to line up and it to spin up again. Takes about 10 -15 seconds to swap sides!

i have a hitachi laser disc player used to work great but now it req's a new needle/head to read the disc's which the last quote i had was £50 special order and unable to give a delivery date
so its now joined the stack of out of date stuff in the loft :mis:

Re: LaserDisc Players?
 

Delamination of the disks due to their size and poor storage is a big problem with laserdisc

Re: LaserDisc Players?
 

Yes, I've heard of problems. Luckily my collection hasn't succumbed so far.

Re: LaserDisc Players?
 

You just need to ensure you store them bolt upright or flat in a stack.

Storing them in flip cases like albums puts massive stress on the top and bottom of the disk and causes the edge delamination.

Re: LaserDisc Players?
 

Thanks. Yes, mine are stored upright in a shelf.
