Well, I looked for years here and never found the LD so I'm glad to have the DVD now. But thanks for the information. I only have one friend who has an LD player and he is the beneficiary of all mine when I buy a repalacement DVD (although I still have about 800 LD's of films or subjects that have not been or will never be released on DVD). That's why I still have an LD player and two spares.
Follow Ups:
What is the state techically speaking of your LD? Did they degraded severly?
Recently I have I have replayed some old DVD and they are!
Long live vinyl and...VHS. ( I have some thirty years old copies and they are still in excellent conditions )
If you mean the software in the 900 plus discs I have owned I had only ONE case of so called laser rot.OTOH if you mean the players, toward the end Pioneer dumbed them down and the CLD-94, 79 and one or two others were and are the best (the much vaunted LD-S2, which I still own was superceded by these).
I meant the sofware, as I never had any troubles with the many players save the Theta I had, the first one being a Philips, the rest being Pioneerīs.
I had many laser rot!
That was the main reason I part away, beside the fact that software was more and more hard to get by.
The analog sound was the best of it, much better than DVD, if I remember well?
I totlally agree on the superiority of the analog sound and I was boiling mad when Dolby Digital and DTS came in and they stole the right channel for that codec instead of using one of the (inferior)digital channels. On the other hand, a modern five or six channel mix is quite an improvement over plain stereo (and stereo can now be greatly enhanceed by Dolby Pro Logic II Music).
I could have wrote this words of yours.
one is unplayable because its warped, two others have like continous white specks on the screen and degraded picture quality
These LD's look fine; no visible delamination or scratching, so other than playing the LD it's impossible to tell
It's very uncommon to find a "bad" LD and many I own are 25-30 years old ( no digital soundtrack! )Grins
