I work at a vinyl record store and sometimes laserdiscs slip in with records when we're buying records from people and not paying enough attention and then we usually throw them away or give them to this girl who is like 19 and finds them hilarious well okay that's my story.

To add to the topic, Laserdisc was one of the few formats I never had. I did have a couple of CED players and 30 or more discs for them. Fairly amazing technology. (But seriously. OTHER forums?)

Laserdisc was expensive and impractical and kicked rear end. Isn't it still the best, most "modern" format in which you can get the original Star Wars movies?

Impressive collection OP. However, it really is a waste to own a laserdisc player and not have any anime titles. Please correct this oversight in the near future.

theres a dude who figured out how to capture the raw stream from the disc and then decode it in software https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBnO-uK7XKc

I don't get that. The video stream of an LD is analog (and on top of that, composite video I think) so an ADC has to be involved somewhere. I wonder if it actually produced a better image than just digitizing the output.

a cooler and more obscure toy would be a laser record player though i think only a few thousand were ever commercially produced they were great because you could play records however many times you wanted without wearing them out. but they were also terrible because they were MORE affected by dust than stylus-based players because the needle would push dust out of way

I bought a couple of Godzilla movies and Rodan years ago because the cover art was hilarious. I also got Return of the Jedi as a gift. No player, tho

ANIME IS BLOOD posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f3524BQ0Ms Man, I remember seeing all these things at Sears 35 years ago and thinking how futuristic those were, except how huge the discs looked. They were too much like vinyl to be futuristic, so it broke the illusion, even as a little kid. Philthy fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Feb 23, 2016 |

I have a karaoke laserdisc that I saved from the trash. I mostly just got it so the next time I actually come across a laserdisc player, I actually have something to play in it to see if it works or not.

My parents still have my gradmothers old crank up record player deal and bing crosby records and stuff. Was a really cool toy, you can basically get it going as fast as you can crank, and many a time GI Joe or Spiderman was broken on the wheel.
