Had a shock last night when we viewed a 15 year old DGG PAL laserdisc. It had horizontal white streaks appearing randomly in the picture, worse in some places than others, but consistent throughout both sides. Is this noise laser rot? If so, how prevalent is this?My first impression was it was the player or the set up but another LD revealed no such flaws.
Note that this was a PAL LD played on a Pioneer D-925. Most LDs in this collection are NTSC and the Pioneer HLD-X9 is used for them and so far this phenomenon has not been seen elswehere.
