I think his point is that for whatever reason he likes his movies in a lower quality resolution. It makes no sense to me, but if that's what he wants to do, then by all means.
I'd imagine if someone is going to know how to do it, AVSforums is the place to find them.

What's so hard to understand is that it's an inferior medium with no real benefit. Freaking out on people for ribbing you a bit is what got you most of the grief you got over it.

WOW!
After reading this thread I decided to see how much my still working Sony Laserdisc player was going for these days...

I think I may be selling it now. I thought it was worthless!

AC04 you are so freakin' joking. Yeah, and I'm converting all my e-mails to hand-written letters!
thank you tfunk, finally someone gets it. imagine not only that high-end laserdisc player for sale, but the machine plus an extensive library of laserdiscs. all three back to the futures, when harry met sally, groundhog day, lord of the rings 2, and baby geniuses to name a few. i'll be laughing all the way to the bank while people clamor to bid.
and by clamor i mean rapidly click, if it was a real auction they'd be clamoring. ebay's version of clamor.

well i can find the drive, i just cant find a case big enough to fit it in
I'm coming around to your way of thinking ac04. I bought a Plusdeck2 recently and I've decided to go in the opposite direction. I'm converting my CDs back to ferrous tape cassettes.
Not only that, I'm going to back up my Windows XP install disk to 300 DS-HD (<- "HD", dig?) 5.25" floppies by spranning the .cab files on multiple diskettes.

ac04, this sounds like a little bit ridiculous, but fun enterprise...hth:

I saw the link GarlandAg posted. You're looking at several hundred dollars per disc.
Great troll. I tip my hat to you, sir.

Rather than convert them to laserdisk, go out and buy a set of swimming goggles and an extension cord.
When you get home, use the extension cord to place the clothes dryer right next to you and turn it on. Put in the Dvd and press play then put on your goggles.
Between the background noise of the dryer and the blurryness of the goggles, you will swear you are watching and listening to the amazing analog quality of a laserdisk.
Heck if you really want, halfway through every movie, stop the dvd. Get up, goto the dvd player, and pretend to open the dvd tray and flip the dvd over and put it back in. Just so you get your laserdisk feel.

ac04 - you're a dick. Stay on the General board, please.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
After this one is wrapped up, can you guys help me figure out how to convert my ti-89 into an abacus?
My aunt and uncle had an RCA SelectaVision videodisc player when I was about 5 or 6. I watched Star Wars at least a frillion times on it.
Maybe Fran will work to bring back an 80s-style, wish bone offense....
Laser Discs are no longer made, so you will have to make your own.
You will need a used Netstal Machinery Discjet (about $1.5M)
Then for each LD you will need a mold tooled for about $300K a pop. Try these guys.

nice thread. well done.
i thought we all knew it was a troll???
I also prefer to back up all my DVDs onto laserdisc. Don't listen to the critics. It's easy:
1) Buy a pack of blank laserdisc media. I get mine from www.laserdiscunlimited.com
2) You will need a laserdisc burner that fits in a PCI slot on your computer. I'll warn you that they are very large. It takes up approximately 2/3 of my bedroom. I also bought mine at www.laserdiscburneroutlet.com
3) Get the latest Windows 2.3 laserdisc software. I think they just released a build last week. Use this software to to handle all data conversion from DVD to laserdisc. Get the software at www.windows.com/laserdisc
4) Pop in the blank laserdisc and your DVD, kick off the WinLaser software, wait 2 weeks and enjoy your Laserdisk!
