In Reply to: Which ultimately is the better quality format, laserdisc or DVD? posted by John C. - Aussie on November 19, 2001 at 20:23:29:
People often quote the resolution and noise specs of DVD players and use that as some kind of proof that DVD is superior to LD. What a crock.Those specs mean nothing, because it's the COMPRESSION of DVDs that ruins the picture. Yes, the DVD player's circuitry can deliver 500 lines of resolution, but the data rate of DVD will never support that resolution in an image with any movement. And we are talking about motion pictures here, aren't we?
Another strange claim is that the sound of DVD is better than LD. Huh? Dolby Digital first hit the consumer market on LD, people.
