@@PhilBaxter interesting. Was that in the US?
You should do 2001 a space odyssey over the years
I like this retrospective of the formats. I’ve watched the blu-ray version that came with the 4K package in my 65” X90J. I don’t see why people think the 4K loos better, I’ve “A’B’” stills from both discs on separate players, the colors pop and contrast more on Blu-Ray. Am I the only one who thinks this way?
Oh hellz yeah!! I'm down for physical media! For me, home video will never die. Streaming services are just not my thing.
Jaws I've owned on so many different formats not only because it's a great film but also because it's always one of the standout examples of a film that showcases the upgrade quality of each & every new format. I'm always impressed with how it looks.
LotR could have been the same, but they somewhat botched the 4K release by DNR-ing the shit out of it. At least the HDR and 10-bit are well-applied, and not every scene has critically suffered from the DNR, but still...

I'm aging well.
This was brilliant. Such a good idea for a series too. Would love to see you do The Thing next.
Much appreciated. I’m working on more! Also - your channel is great. Congrats on all the growth
Y’all are both great. Keep it up.
@@JeffRauseo Can you do the home video history of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983), please?
Given the recent 4K remaster of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, that is one I would like to see reviewed like this.
This was a great idea whoever suggested this. I'd like to see you do classics like Frankenstein, Psycho, Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz and Halloween. Great video, Jeff.
The CED is one of the most fascinating failed formats of all. If you're curious, there's lots of videos about it. One of the best is from Techmoan, and if you're in for the long haul Technology Connections did a set of videos covering its complete history and how it's tied to the downfall of RCA. So glad to see it on this list because CED releases are usually forgotten!
I have about 10 CED platters of stuff like The Wrath of Khan and My Fair Lady. Never had a player though. I'd like to watch them someday.
@@crazydave333 I currently have A Clockwork Orange, Cruising, and La Cage Aux Folles on CED. To call it an interesting format is an understatement. They were literally vinyl records with a movie on them instead of an album. The format would have been groundbreaking in 1964, when it was conceived, but it was old hat in 1981, when it finally came out. Also RCA, who manufactured all the discs and parts, refused to read the writing on the wall regarding the format. They would manufacture players and discs no one wanted, and this left thousands of copies of movies unsold, sometimes even millions of certain titles. Gone With The Wind is a good example. Over 5 million CEDs were made. The first 105,000 were destroyed because of a mastering problem, and had to be replaced. Out of the 5 million made, less than 500,000 actually sold. That was an extreme scenario, but similar things happened with other titles. The studios took a major loss, and one by one they all bailed. RCA eventually pulled the plug over 1986-1987, losing $600 million and going bankrupt in the process. CED is one of the only format failures in history to also sink the company that made it.
On a lighter note, the caddies usually had unused pictures on them, film reviews, and write-ups that went beyond the usual description on the back that every movie has. In multi-disc sets (Scarface, A Clockwork Orange, Jesus Of Nazareth, etc) there were multiple sets of these images and reviews, a different set on each disc, so you wound up with almost a scrapbook of that particular movie. And in Jesus Of Nazareth’s case, that’s still the only unedited copy of that movie. So at least CED has that going for it. :)
This is a great idea. I have a few suggestions. The Shining, Willy Wonka, Star Wars trilogy, or Halloween.
John Carpenter's The Thing would be an interesting one. There are versions with different music due to licensing issues. Also, that's how The Thing was able to become the cult success story that it has become.
That's cool I didn't know there were other releases with different music. I owned the original DVD. And now I just purchased the 4k a couple of months ago. Thanks for sharing 👍
@@ForEternia Some video releases of Jaws had the music changed as well. I think all video releases from ca. 1983-1995 were like this. For The Thing, all video releases from ca. 1985-1996 were where the music was changed.
The Signature Collection laserdisc/DVD was the first since the 1982 video release to restore the original music.
With Jaws, I think the first DVD release was where the music was restored. The early Discovision and VHS/BETA releases keep the original music.
@@unconditionalprong like what. Examples?
@@RumourdProd Stevie Wonder's Superstition during the rollerskating scene was replaced with music made by MCA session musicians.
Some versions of Jaws remove (You're) Having My Baby and replace the music. However, all releases since DVD have the song as presented theatrically.
One way to note if the music was replaced would be to look on the back on the box or jacket. It will say "Home video version, some music rescored" on the info. Other movies that were like this were Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, Cheech & Chong's Next Movie, Where the Buffalo Roam, and Nighthawks. All listed movies now have their music restored.
@@unconditionalprong Where is Having my baby in Jaws?
I feel deep dives in other Spielberg movies and Kubrick films would be super fascinating. Love this idea!
Ditto on that, especially Kubrick's films! Also would love to see one on the original Star Wars trilogy.
I remember renting that Widescreen VHS from my library. That edition is what made me hip to how widescreen worked and I had watched the movie countless times on full screen by that point so it was jaw dropping.
Jaw dropping lol 😆
Same. I also rented a widescreen version of Star Trek IV & Leonard Nimoy did a little intro explaining the letterbox format & I was hooked.
Great video! I'm always interested by Terminator 2 on home video. It has releases on a lot of odd formats, like HD Laser Disc, VCD and that digital copy you got to play on your PC. There is also the controversy around DNR (going back a long time) and the changes made recently.
There’s no real controversy about the DNR or the changes. Controversy implies disagreement, and we’re all in agreement that the changes suck.
Wizard of Oz probably has a loooong history of releases you could cover like this. Really enjoyed this feature, a very interesting look
Jaws is as close to a perfect film as I can think of.
Next to Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Wizard of Oz
I first watch this movie when I was nine and spending a summer in Hawaii. Lol. I was a little freaked out by the ocean after that.
Hey great Video Jeff! This brought back memories big time. My dad in the 70’s worked for DiscoVision before he worked as an engineer for Pioneer, and I used to sneak a peak at some of the Laserdiscs he collected while he was at work, such as Alien, Smokey and the Bandit, some behind the scenes footage of the TV series Star Trek(bootlegged) to name a few, however, Jaws was the only disc he let me watch as a kid. Jaws to this day is one of my top 5 favorite films.
I was born in 1978. Sometime in the mid 1980s, my family taped on vhs an ABC TV broadcast of Jaws. That tape had a version of the movie ive never seen since. They edited-in many of the deleted scenes we later got on dvd, bluray and now 4k. It was great. More Quint, more of the initial conversation between Brody and the summer dink who lost his girl to the shark in the opening scene. It was a longer cut. Much like the Godfather Saga which took place in sequential order with deleted scenes added in. I wish i still had it.
Sometimes they did that. Hope I can find the lost cut. It’s definitely out there somewhere, no way you were the only household taping Jaws. I just watched a recording tape of The Ten Commandments over the last few days. Nothing’s added, and tons of stuff is deleted. Sometimes the TV cuts are better, sometimes they’re not. You got lucky, and I’m keeping my eyes open for this tape of Jaws now.
I love the work of Peter Benchley. Not just Jaws but books about squids, crocodiles, etc.
I love this idea. Do more!
Jeff, absolutely GREAT video. The type of deep dive into a movie’s physical media release history that collectors like me love to see. Keep up the great work.
I used to have a laserdisc machine, I had quite a few movies. I had all the Back to the future movies and the Batman movies. Back to the future 3 was a two disc with three sides, Back to the future 1 & 2 was a single disc with two sides. I sold them when I bought a DVD machine in 1997.
I rewatched this video like 2 months ago and now I have 300 movies on laserdisc and two laserdisc players. Jaws looks awesome on disc from 1978! Crazy that it existed so long ago
Bravo Jeff on the new series - catching AVGN vibes with the 'old tech'
I began collecting LD's somewhat near the end of it's desirability. A market that appealed only to a small percentage of home theater enthusiasts . I purchased my last LD (Dances With Wolves Limited Collectors Edition) in 1997. However I never did get JAWS. DVD technology was about to hit the consumer market and I was excited as hell. Now so many years later, home theater systems are extremely popular and I believe that it'll never loose interest in the consumer market. I'm fairly new to the 4K market and my modest collection of 4K movies is slowly beginning to increase; yes, I do have JAWS and I love it. I saw it in the movie theater. I was just 7 years old. Because of 4K technology, I decided to purchase an entire home theater system to replace my dated one. I spent a lot of $$ but it was well spent. The 4K player I got was the UB9000.
Laser disc were so cool back in the day, the artwork on a lot of them are worth collecting alone.
Please keep on doing this! I love film history
This is my favourite film of all time and my first 4k purchase for my collection no matter how many times I never get sick if it 👍
I know there probably a million videos on this film, but Star Wars (1977) would be a good one to talk about.
In the event someone would have a "medical event", I remembered fire trucks stationed outside the theaters when this movie was first released. It was 5 years before I would swim in a natural body of water again; I needed 4 walls and chlorination at all times I slapped on swim trunks.
This was absolutely AWESOME and super interesting. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Bravo!
LOVE this kind of content!!
This is a brilliant addition to your channel. Seeing all the different releases and hearing all the release info is what is physical media collectors love to hear. You should definitely make this series a regular on the channel
*I really hope they release Jaws 2 on 4K. it's a great sequel*
With a 5.1 remixed soundtrack! John Williams' score would sound stunning and the underwater scenes would benefit from all the surround bubbles.
Thanks, Jeff. You've covered all the releases well. I also find it interesting that the now defunct format, HD DVD, didn't get around to putting out their own release of Jaws before going belly up.
Ive been waiting for a long time for this type of episodes. Thank you very muck . Im very excited about the format history of films
I ❤️ this video.I ❤️ to learn about the history of releases of home video releases.
I remember Beta,CED,& Laser Disc when they were new when I was a Kid.Movies to purchase back then we’re expensive! Thanks again for this fantastic video!
Fantastic video!! I will 100% watch every video you make in this physical media history series!
man i love the 4k Jaws package with the booklet , when you watch it its so amazing how it looks .
that's a great idea for a series. As a long time movie collector, old enough to have known VHS, I love it. Keep them coming.
Good episode. Good the Bad and ugly has a storied history of releases.
I remember when star wars wouldnt come out on dvd for a while. So i bought a used laserdisc player and the definitive laserdisc trilogy. It was awesome
I can’t wait til you cover Morbius! Great video man. It’s content like this and the 4K restoration that really make you stand out way above the other 4K reviewers on here.
What a terrific video. Thank you for this, it’s certainly provided me with a shopping list of Jaws things to add to the collection
Awesome idea for a series, and what a fantastic film to start with! Excited to see what you do next.
I love this idea - I've got most of these versions and i've kept them all
Great video - many thanks !!
Love this format, please do more!
Yeah, this is a great series idea! Super entertaining. Wouldn’t mind hearing a Wizard of Oz history - one of my fave 4Ks so far. Gonna have to pick up Jaws, I’ve been putting it off long enough!
This is a really interesting type of video, would love to see more on classic movies!
Great video, watched Jaws tonight on 4K followed by the documentary, absolute classic film with a classic backstory!
I loved this video please make more of these
Awesome job - thanks!
Oh Jaws, my favourite movie! I have an original Australian daybill poster hanging up on my wall. Incredible movie and the story of the making of the movie is amazing too
Love Jaws and looking forward to more videos like this. Well done
Great look at the history of Jaws on physical media very very interesting !
I like this serie, keep them coming!
Love this video
I absolutely love this idea Jeff !!! thank you so much.
I’m a fellow New Englander (I’ve lived my whole life in Rhode Island), and like yourself, Jaws is one of my favorite films. I both loved to see a focus on the film, but the history of home media for the film. I am older (52) , and honestly, never knew there were this many types of home media on Jaws (despite being an avid movie collector, and owning not only many films, but having had a few versions of this film.)
My parents took me to see Jaws at the drive in, back in the 70’s, in it’s initial run….. this along with Boston MA based UHF signal channel 56’s “Creature Double Feature”, helped to fuel my love of both horror , sci fi and suspense films (in a historical sense) and a love of 70’s cinema. It is great to see a focus on individual films, and any part of their history (even a release of home media formats.)
I have subscribed to you, from watching Heath , at Cereal at Midnight (Heath’s show has been my “gateway” to so many excellent film fans-turned educators)…. You, Heath, Mixed Media report, Daiske Beppu and Vanessa Buttino have become my “go to” teams for film history, new releases, and with yourself, even tech sugggestions. Thank you so much and keep up the super work.
Could you consider reviewing next: Star Wars, The Exorcist, Phantasm, and Salem’s Lot ?
Quick question: being a Jaws fan, can you answer me a question: do you have any idea if there were alternate edits of the film, from the 70’s, that no longer exist ? either an 80’s tv edit, or 70’s only edit, that had additional scenes…..even minues or seconds of extra footage. I seem to remember an extended version of the “Estuary attack” sequence, where a young Mike Brody was seen from a different camera angle, next to the shark, and with the adult, spewing blood from his mouth as he was dragged under the water. I could swear this was from a theatrical edit I saw in the RI, at the drive in….. it’s a version I have only seen once, and I’ve never read anything about it being used. The only mention of it, is that Steven Spielberg attempted to film this, and it landed on the cutting room floor. I am almost positive I remember this from the 70’s when I was a little kid.
Might alternate edits / versions of movies be another angle for you (or others ) to attempt ?
I’ve viewed the Halloween home media history too….. AWESOME !!!!
Thanks and keep up the superb work !
Best,

What a splendid idea for a segment!
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen jaws. I definitely need to catch it again! 🦈
Keep these coming! This is a great idea.
This was so interesting.I was a kid when Laser Disc,CED & when the VHS & Beta war was going on.I hope u do more of these.I love these “History Lessons”You & Your Family Have a Merry Christmas!
This was super informative, looking forward to seeing which movie you cover next!
This is a great idea. Your going to get a lot more movie fans to the channel with this series!
Great video as usual, keep them coming
Jaws was re-released in Canada on VHS a year earlier in 1986. I distinctly remember this because I found it in a store along with The Sting. The two of them were my first purchases of pre recorded media in any form.
What a fantastic idea for a series. This video went by in like a minute. I can't wait for the next ones :D
Great Idea!
I love this as a series idea, super interesting. Please make more!
Looking forward to more episodes in the series!
Well done. I fully enjoyed this. Please make more of these.
Great video and great history on this release. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Bill!
@@JeffRauseo you’re welcome….maybe a video on Star Wars’ history next? Just a thought
Sweet! You made this! Very cool
I saw a guy on TH-cam a while back who did this with ‘THE THING’ and it was so informative. Love these style of videos.
Ironically, CED is the one I most remember of the disc formats. We were VHS at home, but the Video Station next to my dad’s barber shop had a bunch of movies on CED. The cover of “Escape from Alcatraz” still stands out to me
I got the two tape vhs 25th anniversary edition for my birthday. It was the first time I was aware of people making movies because of the great making of documentary on the 2nd tape. Still my favorite film of all time.
Jaws is my favorite film of all time. I first saw it at age 9 during the summer of ‘79 during a re release in theaters. Then in November of ‘79 I begged my mom to let me stay up to watch it on ABC. I went to MV only once in my life ( pretty sad considering I’ve lived in Boston all my life ) and loved it . I’ve owned Jaws twice on vhs one full screen and then I upgraded to wide screen then dvd then blu ray and now 4K blu ray
Great Video! I'm going to have to watch my 4k copy one of these evenings.
Best physical media channel on TH-cam. By far.
I still own the 2 tape 25th Anniversary VHS I had when I was 6 in 2000. I also have the 25th anniversary DVD, 30th Anniversary DVD, the 2012 Blu-Ray and the 45th Anniversary 4K Blu-Ray. I don’t have any of the laserdiscs or other releases of the film, but Jaws has had so many home videos releases and it’s fantastic. I love going through the various releases for films like this. Thanks for the video man!
Definitely keep doing these. Awesome info. Great work brother. 😎💯
I have - and still watch to this day - the DTS Anniversary Edition DVD, and it looks and sounds fine to me.
This was a great video. Really well put together.
love the video history I’d like to see more
Great video, as usual! I remember getting this movie on DVD for the first time when I was in the second grade... and then getting it on DVD again a few months later so I wouldn't have to take it back and forth between my mom's and dad's houses every time I wanted to watch it. It was the first blu-ray I got when I got my PS4, and pre-ordering and picking up both the slipcase and steelbook versions of the 4K release really brightened the dismal summer of 2020.
As a side note, I also have a pretty cool slipcover version with a still of Brody and Hooper on the back of the Orca with the "bigger boat" quote and the title in white. I think it was part of some "great quotes" series of home media rereleases, but it's a neat variation considering how often they've (very understandably) just used variations of the paperback cover/theatrical poster.
This is a great retrospective on my favorite film JAWS. I read an article on why movie media changes and what drives it, other than technology. Shockingly long before streaming, the adult film industry which sells the most copies of movies is what dictated the format of every other type of movie copy made for private at home use. Anyway, thank you for this video! I subscribed.
How interesting thanks Geoff!
I really enjoyed this video.
My all time favorite movie. It was the first one I ever rented and owed, it was on beta. Later I got it again on VHS, and I also had one on tape but it was in widescreen, then DVD and now I have it on blue ray it does look great, it's good enough for me.
I would love to see more videos in this format from you!
This is a awesome idea!! Please make more
I love this idea. Keep it up!
Love this idea! Can't wait for more. I have the 1997 Widescreen VHS jaws release, one of my favorite tapes I held onto
Love love love this idea for a series. Might be cool to add a comprehensive graph at the end or even just a date at the top for the duration of you talking about it. Amazing
Great video...we want more!!!
Great video - Love this idea! Keep them coming!
Great idea! Nice video,but please consider including a history of the film’s aspect ratio on physical media as well. For a film like Jaws, moving from 4:3 to 2.35:1 was highly significant. Thanks!
My teacher in middle school had a laserdisc player and had movies like Jaws and some Disney movies because they were go back or skip a scene.
Hey that was my suggestion! thanks for doing this! This was a really great video and I look forward to seeing more.
Great new series!
Would love to see more such episodes
Love this! Would be awesome for you to do more.
