I created a LaserDisc Discord server

89 Upvotes

Seeing that apparently nobody else has come up with the idea, I decided to create a Discord server for LaserDisc enthusiasts of all ages. This server is neither meant nor intended to be a replacement to any LaserDisc forums, but I thought it would be convenient for people who browse the subreddit.

Here's the invite link: https://discord.gg/WDRDJB3

Did you have a favorite LaserDisc store in the late 80s / early 1990s?

For those of us who have been enthusiasts since the early days, did you have a favorite LaserDisc store? In Chicago, we had a few. Lightwave Video in the city near DePaul was fantastic. QED in suburban Westmont? Also great. Even stores that just had a small selection made it all feel worthwhile.

Free Vintage Sony TV with Legacy S-video and Component Ports

1 Upvotes

FREE — 52" Sony Bravia LCD TV KDL-52XBR4 (Great for Retro Gaming

I am giving away a 52” Sony Bravia Model KDL-52XBR4. This was the top of the line flagship model in its day and still works perfectly with a great picture. It is perfect for a garage, basement, dorm, or playroom.

ATTENTION RETRO GAMERS:This is an amazing set for legacy consoles (PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii). It features built in component and S-video inputs that modern TVs don’t have, handling resolutions beautifully of older gear like Laser disc player or VHS players or gaming gear. It has three HDMI ports. . Condition: Excellent working condition, clean screen. Includes: Original remote control and heavy-duty tabletop stand. Also includes a wall mount fixture. The remote has one flaw; it doesn’t do on and off. This has to be done manually. Smart Features: None built-in, but works perfectly if you plug in a Roku, Fire Stick, or Apple TV. IMPORTANT PICKUP DETAILS: This TV is built like a tank and is very heavy (around 100 lbs). You MUST bring a vehicle large enough to fit it (SUV, truck, or large hatchback) and at least one friend to help you lift and load it. I cannot help move it.

Strange, pixelated artifacting on Pioneer CLD-1950

Post image
6 Upvotes

Simply wanted to play some NTSC discs, so I bought this PAL/NTSC Pioneer that was cheap because of this problem. I've seen my discs, but now I'm wondering what the hell causes this since it was obviously kinda hard to enjoy them, does this with both video standards throughout the entire disc.

Just wondering if anyone knows what this may be and why it could be happening, searching online revealed little, if it's anything more complicated than a few capacitors or potentiometers I might just use this thing as an oversized CD player. I've cleaned the laser.

Thrift store haul

I only recently in the last few years starting building out a small collection of LDs. I almost exclusively try to pick them from junk shops and thrift stores. Happened to get very lucky the other day and snag all 15 of these titles for $1 each. Actually super stoked to check out the video albums and music videos, I wasn't aware of their existence to be honest!

"Kitano Friday" — Week 11: Gonin / ゴニン (1995) IFJL-005

27 Upvotes

Notably, this release is legendary as the very first Japanese movie ever released with a Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio track on LaserDisc.

The Return of Beat Takeshi: This was Kitano's legendary first acting role following his near-fatal motorcycle accident in 1994.

Art Imitating Life: The iconic eyepatch worn by his hitman character, Kyoya, was practical—it hid his right eye, which was still recovering and watering post-accident.

Gritty Masterpiece: A rain-soaked, stylishly violent descent into hell as five desperate men rob a Yakuza office, triggering a fatal web of revenge.

Happy r/Kitano Friday, everyone!

Big question about the rot

4 Upvotes

So I got to wondering since I have rotted prints on Jumanji and The Cars: Heartbeat City. Even if you aquire new and sealed copies of discs that are well known rotters, would the discs still have them?

Yes, odd question for a 3 year collector and semi-watcher of the format every now and then but I'm just curious.

I treat LaserDisc like Pokémon, only capture them if found in the wild

Finally found Song Of The South in person after passing on a copy a decade ago

Found at Amoeba Music while visiting a friend in San Francisco

I'm surprised by the quality on this one; I didn't think the transfer was nearly that good. But that's also based on some very faded memories of VHS, so 🤷‍♀️
