after you get past the first few posts, anyway...

covers some usual ld vs. dvd stuff, with some dvhs stuff thrown in and even a couple chinese formats... also interesting are some good numbers about compression of audio formats on dvd, superbit dvd, dvhs, and ld, which is a very important point of comparison in home video formats...


i still say laserdisc is very worthwhile, dvd is a transitional format, hd-dvd will be here eventually and that format will be much more worth having than current dvd... dvd will be remembered for its faults... dvd will be like discovision is to the modern laserdisc...

if hd-dvd hurries along, dvd may some day end up as "obscure" as ld (in the mass-market mind)...
