I got 3 Laserdiscs to add to my collection.

Stargate
Backdraft
Event Horizon.

Very Nice buddy!

Which one do you like best?

Im glad ya can still find them :)

Re: What Media did you last get??
 

To be honest they are really easy to find. Ebay always has loads but some Lasrdosc group have sellers that do big sales when they've bought bulk lots so I have a few recently.

I saw two of the 3 at the cinema on release and really enjoyed them all. Bacldraft probably the best of the 3. William Baldwin and Kurt Russell fighting fires with a mystery going on.

Just before Christmas I did also get collectors editions of Wizard of Oz and Toy Story 1 on Laserdisc, both come with some great extras like artbooks, posters and such.. I have them in 4K and Pz in 3D on Blu Ray too.

Ya I have a VIDEODISC (Poltergeist) but sadly I dont have a player!!

I would love to see how they look.. Its a big record like laserdisc........

Laserdiscs record is read by a laser and Videodiscs has a heavy duty needle!

Videodisc plays at 450rpm (500rpm for PAL) do you know Stevie what the speed Laserdiscs play at?? Im curious........

Re: What Media did you last get??
 

Aye videodisc was read like a record and looked like one. Laserdiscs are 12inch discs looking like big CDs and although read by laser they are analogue video with digital sound. First launched in 1978 as Discovision with the name Laserdisc replacing it in 1980 and the format officially died on 21st September 2001.

The discs typically ranging from 600 to 1,800 rpm as its a variable read speed.

Two types of disc exist, CAV and CLV, with have only holding 30-36 mins per side and CLV holding 60-64 mins per side. Meaning almost every movie was at least two sides.

Video resolution was almost double that of Beta or VHS and close to that of DVD with 425-440 horizontal lines, so on a crt tv they can look pretty decent as unlike tape they don't wear out with use. I have mine by rgb scart to a 2013 LCD TV and it still looks fairly decent.

Videodisc was a pretty bad format and really poor quality and prone to skipping and jumping due to dust or scratches on the vinyl record

Wow all that is interesting buddy,thank you!!

I like all this older technology and all.....

I wonder how they get an analogue video to be played be a laser?? Isnt that digital???

Anything with a laser is digital (CD,etc)

Re: What Media did you last get??
 

Laserdisc has analog video because the physical pits and lands on the disc directly represent the continuously varying video signal, using frequency modulation (FM) where the length and spacing of these features change to encode brightness and color information, much like an old analog TV broadcast, rather than discrete 1s and 0s like CDs or DVDs. A laser reads these varying pit lengths, creating a fluctuating signal that's a direct analog of the NTSC or PAL video signal, which is why it looked great on CRT TVs.

Key Difference from Digital:
LaserDisc (Analog Video): Pit length/spacing = frequency of signal (continuous).
CD/DVD (Digital): Pit length/spacing = binary 1s and 0s (discrete).

Thats all very interesting!!

I got an 8 track tape today :)

The Best of a great year - VOL II

Its a double album.. Lots of different country artists I see listed

Dolly Parton - I didnt know she was country!!
Jim Reeves
Charley Pride
Hank Snow

Re: What Media did you last get??
 

What?? Dolly is literally the definition of country music. Have you actually listened to her before, even her talking voice is country.

Yea I guess so Stevie..

I remember her song 9 to 5 the best..

I just looked on the cartridge,the song on this tape from her is "Coat Of Many Colors" and I dont think I have heard that one...

I like that they didnt split any songs on this tape!!

Re: What Media did you last get??
 

I mean she is often called the queen of country. So many big hits including the one you just mentioned, Jolene, I will always love you, Here you come again, Islands in the Stream with Kenny Rogers. To name a few

Re: What Media did you last get??
 

From wiki

Wow 1967!!!

Thank you for that Hugh!!

Yes I like 'Islands in the stream' :)

J Geils band - The Morning After (I also have the record)

I like getting cassettes and 8 tracks as I can easily listen in Mono (I have a connector that combines left and right channel)

I do have a MONO record player but the speed isnt constant all the time..... (Its a nice 50s unit but the speed control is horrible on it)

I also got BEHIND ENEMY LINES - 2001 on VHS :)

I cant believe IMDB only has it rated 6.4 ... Its excellent!!!

I would give it 9.6!!
