Man, I can't believe this was a year ago. Seems like it was just a few months back.

The only Nerdery thread to surpass this one in awesomeness was the "beware cheap HDMI cables" one: http://www.texags.com/main/forum.reply.asp?forum_id=30&topic_id=941925

Ha...my favorite quote from there is:

quote:
I can't tell you how many Cisco routers I have gone through after hooking a generic cable. I should have used Monster Ethernet cables.


I'm not convinced boredatwork was trolling on that one, though...

how do i find a machine that can stamp the discs?


instead of stamping the discs..maybe it would be easier to stump the hell outta the laserdisc player and buy a new DVD player!

Hope this Helps

AC, I'm curious... where are you going to find "blank" laserdiscs to "burn" your dvd collection with????

Like records, I think it would be cool to own a laser disc player and lots of old laserdisc movies for vintage sake, but I have no idea how any average Joe would be able to create their own Laserdisc collection????

Serious question. What is about laserdiscs that you like better than DVD's?

It's because they weigh more (have more mass) than a DVD, therefore spin silently. When they spin, the negative ions in the laserdisc repel static electricity, thus ensuring a picture perfect analog video stream.

That and they are perfect for archiving, as per the OP's request.
