Just found this disc, its cool but I can't take the risk on shipping and if it may be PAL.

This is NOT MY DISC, thought someone may be interested and can have the possibility to play it or post once they do.

Honestly don't know, but it seems like a cool demo type disc.

For ten euro, absolutely. Only if you had PAL ability though.

I was hoping that it was cheaper for people nearer.
Guess not.

Seems interesting to get, but then again, I don't have any means of recording LD.

Hmm ok, so i'd need to buy a vhs recorder + blank tape.
Then what ? How do you tranfer vhs to your pc ? I'm gessing transferring vhs to dvd.
So I'd also need a vhs to dvd recorder + blank disc.

Seems a bit much to get just for one disc, I imagine it would cheaper and simpler to just get a video capture device.

Probably not worth the trouble anyway if it was a PDO UK pressing. Having said that I noticed on the image showing the LD sleeve that there were addresses for PDO France as well as UK, did they also have a disc manufacturing plant in France too?

Also I wonder why such high postage costs (€24) when shipping only to neighbouring countries such as Germany, Belgium, UK etc.? 3 times the domestic rate!

I kinda want a PAL player but I've not discovered the titles yet that I want it for. I have the JP boxset and would love several copies of Striptease but that's only for decoration and the discs don't matter as much as the sleeve.

You only mentioned recording. :) For that VHS is all that’s needed as any real fan of either format well knows (I had way more copies of LDs than actual LDs in the 90s). If I planned to put it on the internet somewhere I wouldn’t use a VCR.

Oh ok, so you just fooled me... Well I don't see the point in recording an LD if it's not to archive it "digitally" (and/or on the internet) so I didn't saw the point in specifying that.
Anyway, the listing has ended, don't know if it was sold or not though.

No PDO pressing plant in France unless I am way off the mark but pretty sure I am not in this case.

They had pressing plants in the UK & the Netherlands - Philips PDO in Blackburn & in the Netherlands - Philips PDO Eindhoven.

I think the Eindhoven plant was used more for test pressing & research & development rather than mass production - anyone who knows more on this please clarify.

Cheers.

I was curious when it was posted here, may be interesting & if it is a PAL disc I have no problems with that.

I contacted the seller & the post cost was set at a more reasonable level so took the plunge.

When it gets to me I will post details on what it contains.

It has been ages since I purchased any LDs so this one is down to you rein-o !

Cheers :thumbup: .

Yeah, the only person that I know of in the usa would be Blam who has posted they own a pal/ntsc player.
Overseas guys like you would own one too, glad you got it and I do hope its something interesting.
Keep us posted.

Yes I will update when it gets to me.

Can't find any details on it so a bit of a mystery till I spin the disc.

Hopefully it arrives fairly soon.

Well done you getting the shipping costs reduced je280! I would have made a move towards purchasing had it not been for that €24 postage.

I too like rein-o and yourself am rather intrigued by this disc let's just hope its main feature isn't a PDO UK speciality snowstorm accompanied by garbled audio :lol: ;)

Yes & I have got my fingers crossed on that too, hopefully it is playable - expecting a few dots though!

I will update on the contents when it gets to me & has been spun.

Cheers for now :thumbup: .
