New video! The Demise of Laserdisc
Added 2018-03-17 19:47:31 +0000 UTCWell now, here it is! Thanks for your patience, everyone. I was a little worried this would hit the copyright monsters due to some longer clips, but we seem to be in the clear.
This ended up being 26 minutes long! Eek! So, I hope you're comfortable. I was maybe going to split this, but I actually already did. I was intending to put MUSE and Squeeze LD in this video, but ran out of time. So, there will be one more video on LD, plus the CLD-M301 I talked about earlier.

I had that exact Sony TV you played the PS2 on and it brought me right back to 2002. Another great video, as always! :)
2018-03-19 20:55:50 +0000 UTCThat could be! Malaysia is on a 50 hz power grid, so perhaps these are running at 25 FPS. I'm a little surprised my Panasonic DMR-ES40V could play them OK. I went through the footage frame by frame in Premiere and it appears every 5th frame repeats, which would suggest the player is doing its own conversion up to 30 FPS.

2018-03-18 00:04:49 +0000 UTCAre those Back to the Future VCDs from a PAL country? They might have just been sped up to 25 fps instead of using telecine like for 29.97 fps in NTSC-land.
