Troll's a troll, right? Also, I'm a rook and didn't even look at the op date.

Epic thread either way.

Ah, the good ol' days. Back when trolls were funny and not just a nuisance.

just found this while trying to find this thread for a friend

Well....

Completely missed this thread first time around.

After doing some research on laser disc ebay auctions since the original posts, I don't think OP was trolling.

The discs were expensive

This is so true. Back when I was young, single and stupid, I bought into the laser disc technology with a basic player and eventually roughly $6K in discs. Now the player no longer works and I have worthless platters taking up space. Grrrrrr. Oh to have a flux capacitor in my car to go back and kick myself in the ass and say, hey, numbnuts, don't buy that laser disc of Alien with all that extra footage for $100 because in a few short years you'll be able to pick up a much smaller disc with the same footage (plus more) for roughly $20.

anyone have any experience with this? i hope to convert all my DVDs to laserdisc very soon but i'm having a little trouble finding information about how to accomplish this. obviously i'm not the first person to have this idea so hopefully you can point me in the right direction.

your best bet is to visit you local AV specialist. I'm sure they can point you in the right direction.

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving.

Try half price books for used laserdiscs


Just noticed the OP is wanting dics. Good luck with that.

Hey mods, can you delete my posts where I fell for this troll? I hate and love this thread.

What I love is that this guy doesn't read far enough, responds, realizes that he didn't read far enough, and edits the response STILL without reading far enough. This is the troll that keeps on giving.

Anyone have a flux capacitor? That way I can help OP.

I thought we were trying to convert HD-DVD to Laserdisc now...

I thought we were up to converting Blu Ray to reel to reel?

I don't necessarily know how (or if it's even possible) to convert DVDs to LaserDiscs, but I applaud your efforts. I appreciate the purity of the analog info vs the compactness of the digital info.

My brother recently bought a laserdisc player and several classic Disney movies on laserdisc so that his newborn daughter would be able to watch the original Lion King, Aladdin, etc. He came to this decision after going to a friends house and watching the DVD "digitally remastered" version of the Lion King that looked weird and had additional songs (WTH!?!). So the only options available for the authentic versions are VHS and Laserdisc. VHS can deteriorate, so Laserdisc it was. Turns out they have several "collectors editions" of the classic Disney movies that have additional features like artwork and other cool stuff.

I know that doesn't help you with your problem, but hopefully it will ward off the baffoons who think you're crazy.

Hey maybe he wants to get into the 1990s Hong Kong video rental market.

I still have LPs -- a couple I'd like to listen to, but will probably give to my sister who does have a record player. I have some cassette tapes that I need a player for. However, in any case, I wish to convert the medium to something digital. Wanting to convert a DVD to laserdisc for reasons other than compatibility is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of.

I get the desire for a laserdisc player if you have a bunch of laserdiscs just like I get the need for a tape deck if you have reel tapes laying around. But I don't think I'll dump my logic projects to the cassette deck I'll probably get soon.

Just saw this... awesome

You're welcome.
