# Laserdiscs' colors get messed up?

Woo!

# yeah I have the NTSC laserdisc of that rare BMX film "Rad"
and an original PAL VHS of it too
bright red cars look off-colour on the laserdisc but the VHS colour is fine

# Iiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting
*steeples fingers*

I remember watching laserdiscs as a lass and my dad telling me that one day, they would be the size of regular cds. I pictured them 2' high.

# I'm lost
2" high or wide?

I also only ever saw one lazerdisk on sale, it was a deep purple concert, I wish I'd bought it to just marvel at

but really tall.

# Yeah but
the sound quality of DD or DTS of laserdisc has yet to be equaled by dvd.
(Experiment 626, Fri 1 Jul 2005, 10:18, archived)
#
huh?

on a technical side of things, surely as DD and DTS are digital streams there shouldn't be any difference between them stored on laserdisc and DVD,
unless you're referring to some real-world examples where the laserdisc release does have a better soundtrack, in which case I wouldn't be surprised

# i doubt
that laserdisc stores its audio at the same sample resolution.
dvd probably supports more modern surround sound too, if laser disc supports any.

Almost all DVDs that have 2.0 surround tracks are encoded to compressed AC3, most laserdiscs that have digital audio are uncompressed PCM.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laserdisc

"Audio could be stored in either analog or digital format and in a variety of surround sound formats; NTSC discs could carry two analog audio tracks, plus two uncompressed PCM digital audio tracks, which were CD quality and PAL discs could carry one pair, either analog or digital. Dolby Digital (also called AC-3) and DTS, which are now common on DVD titles, first became available on Laserdisc, and Star Wars: Episode I (1999) which was released on Laserdisc in Japan, is among the first home video releases ever to include 6.1 channel Dolby Digital EX Surround. Unlike DVDs, which carry Dolby Digital audio in digital form, Laserdiscs store Dolby Digital in a frequency modulated form within a track normally used for analog audio. Extracting Dolby Digital from a Laserdisc required a player equipped with a special "AC-3 RF" output and an external demodulator in addition to an AC-3 decoder. The demodulator was necessary to convert the 2.88 MHz modulated AC-3 information on the disc and convert it into a 384 kbit/s signal that the decoder could understand. DTS audio took the place of the PCM audio tracks, and required only a direct connection via Optical Audio cable and a decoder to be heard."

# I think NTSC is the format for all American TVs
and the only reason I know about it is I had to make an animation with Adobe Premiere for a class and it lets you choose.

You turn on the same show on two different TVs and they look completely different. Even black and white movies..
(I helped save b3ta! hanke murphy, I'm a mess, Fri 1 Jul 2005, 10:08, archived)
# Yeah!
Or at the store where they have all the TVs lined up with the same show on and they all look different
