The Howling - Laserdisc Review | The best werewolf movie ever made
มุมมอง 50110 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Howling from 1981. A horror movie Directed by Joe Dante and with effects from a very young (but awesome) Rob Bottin. To me this is the ultimate werewolf movie and it's been a guilty pleasure since I first saw it in the 80s.
Retrotink 4K & Commodore 64 | Scanlines and masks
มุมมอง 1.4K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
As a casual retro gamer I'm not religious in my attempts to find masks and scanlines that are 100% authentic to any particular CRT monitor. If I can find a setting that mimics the CRT experience in a satisfying way, to me, that's enough. I got the Retrotink 4K mainly as a scaler for my Laserdisc collection and in that regards it's been a success. It's worked out well for my C64 collection of ga...

The best Peter Pan movie? Hook - Laserdisc review
มุมมอง 456ปีที่แล้ว
Hook (1991) by Steven Spielberg, released on Laserdisc in 1992. US version 70606 - Japan version SRLP-5026~7. Both widescreen letterboxed versions with Dolby Surround digital audio as well as an analog CX encoded stereo sound. To me this is the ultimate Peter Pan movie.
Burning DVDs from VHS | DVD is very much alive, even in 2023
มุมมอง 1.5Kปีที่แล้ว
In the late 90s and early 2000s we did burn DVDs from VHS. 25 years ago VHS was still used by a lot of people and many had home videos they wanted to watch on DVD. DVD is still the most popular video format and very much alive.

I bought 40 laserdiscs in a box, unseen - Did I find something nice?
มุมมอง 14Kปีที่แล้ว
Buying a box of laserdiscs without knowing for sure what you're gonna get, is risky. Maybe not in the US where you can buy laserdiscs quite cheap, but in Norway (Europe) where laserdisc never hit it big, it can be risky. Luckily I found some discs that made it worth my while, and money.
Arcade 1up - is this a big mistake if you really want a real vintage arcade cabinet?

A real vintage Arcade cabinet costs a lot. At least where I live. Not many to choose from either. So I went for one the Arcade 1up cabinets, hoping this would cure the itch. Big mistake! Cheaper to buy yes, but also much cheaper the experience, fun and entertainment. Guess I'm back on the market.

How to get Stranger Things from Netflix to VHS and to a CRT screen - for the ultimate nostalgia

Laserdisc really took off in the late 80s and early 90s. Superseded by DVD around 1997, Laserdisc died a few years later. Seemingly. To fans of the format it never really died and Laserdiscs are still spinning strong! The Danish video store where I bought my first player is still going strong.

    My one regret was buying vhs in the 1980s instead of diving into laserdisc. I ended up giving all my vhs away when dvd came out. I think if I had jumped into laserdisc my collection would be in the 3000 mark . Still kept all my DVDs even when upgrading to 4k or Blu Ray . I only upgrade my favourite dvd movies to 4k.

    The only drawback is that the newest movies that you can get are up through 2001, at present that is 24 years ago so there are a lot of movies that you cannot get on Laserdisc.

      Yes, you'll need an external decoder between your LD and TV/monitor. Both LD-G and Close Caption graphics need you to do this to see subtitles or other info.

    I don't know if you are still working this channel, but I have just discovered it, and have gone down a LD rabbit hole with this video! My husband saw his first LD movie at a friend's house on a wide screen tv (the movie was "Speed") and he was blown away. Within weeks he had a new tv, a Pioneer laserdisc player (CLD-D790) and started buying his favorite action movies on LD. Ths was in the late 1980's I think, a long time ago now! Over time he bought DVD players, BluRay players, etc. but always insisted the laser discs were the best reproduction of the films of that time. The last tv he bought before he died 2 years ago was a Samsung 65" flat screen, and the LDs still look fine to me. We would invite friends over for movie nights, and watching Twister, you could feel the wind (he put our ceiling fan on high speed to add to the ambience!). Independence Day was fun because he had an empty Coke can that he threw at the back of the room when the guy in the movie shot the can in the space ship. I got them out of the cupboard the other day, and showed a friend, who was very impressed. Box editions of Ben Hur, The Alamo, and action movies like True Lies, Volcano, The Abyss, and so on are apparently very cool now!

    Long time no see! Great videos on the LD format! I remember when it had it's 'peak' over here. Terminator 2 in all its galore ;) ! It then faded from my mind, though when I moved to Japan I noticed just how popular that format had been (same with minidisc). In all HardOff's you'd find shelves of LD players, and there certainly was no shortage of movies either. Just got my hands on a bunch of LD anime series & movies (Just as I do with cool looking Vinyl Covers, I'm planning on framing a couple of the LD covers), so now I'm digging myself deeper into the world of LD's.... What player to get. You've got a PAL & NTSC, I'm planning on see what I can get directly from the JP market...NTSC converter? Where to find a nice 32" Widescreen CRT...and so on...and so on... (things I left behind many..many years ago). Anyways, I've watched your videos with a great interest! Cheers! =)

    I didn't get into LD until around 2004, well after the format had died. I was young when they were a current thing, but dad was just not interested in shelling out for it because VHS was "good enough". Got my own money later and got into it. Fast forward to 2024, I'm still watching them regularly, and now have over 500 titles. Movies, TV shows, concerts. Lots of stuff. There's really something special about the format that keeps me coming back. I have the full experience. CRT, AC3 demodulator and all. It feels, I dunno, warm and cozy? I also appreciate them from a technical standpoint, they were so far ahead of their time. I just love them, and it's a shame they weren't more popular. I have eight working players and I rotate which one I'm using occasionally. I know that's crazy, but hey they will never make another player! Hopefully this enough to make sure I have at least one working player left when I'm an old man.
