I have seen many films that were very hard and expensive to obtain on laserdisc that were relatively cheap and easy to locate on VHD. e.g. Horrors, Spaghetti Westerns, Sci-Fi & music titles etc. Cover art for VHDs is often completely different from laserdiscs but equally stunning to collect. It is a great source for some extremely rare music titles that are not available on laserdisc. If you are struggling to get a decent playback copy of a particular title on laserdisc that doesn't suffer from laser rot then buy the VHD version instead. Picture and sound quality is still very impressive and in a different league to CED technology. A few examples - but there are loads: Dio Super Rock 85 in Japan is not available on laserdisc so either you buy it on VHS, Beta or VHD. I have it on all of those! The George Romero classic - The Crazies is available on laserdisc (and I have it too) but the VHD version was really cheap to get hold in comparison.

I love the format. No skipping, dropouts, or laser rot. Some titles have Digital Audio with graphics. STAY AWESOME! Mark

It sucks that they aren't cheap, and that most American films are P&S. If I ever get a VHD player, I would have to have these: Rain Man (1988) [VHP28515~6]Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979) [TVD-2023]
