I took some screenshots middle of last year when I found a way of hooking up my player to my computer. I keep meaning to go back and try again now that I have a new player but I've not got around to it, de-interlacing can also cause a bit of a problem when trying to take screenshots so any pics you see should be taken with a pinch of salt. I'll try and take some fresh ones of the titles I mentioned above over the next few days using my DVL 919E but for now here's a few screenshots of Jurassic Park taken on an old, beaten up CLD V2120D: Nom Where'd my food go? Back again (Frames Frames 15915-15917 on side five for those interested)

As I said in my post, the interlaced nature of laserdiscs can cause some oddities in the picture when you try to display them on a progressive computer monitor. For example, in the second picture there's a lot of blocking, especially noticeable on Laura Dern's arm, this does not appear when I watch it on a TV screen. The software I was using at the time did have some advanced de-interlacing algorithms but unfortunately they didn't affect screenshots so this is without any form of interlacing at all so may actually be a single field rather than a combined frame. When I get the chance to hook up the DVL 919E to the PC I'll see if I can get a more accurate image.

firehorse_44 wrote: Japanese released LaserDiscs all the way ....... Never viewed a Hong Kong title so no opinion there ......... I've never seen a Hong Kong LD but whenever I've looked them up I'm always confused by the fact they often release a film over separate releases. For example: Iron Monkey: Part I (1993) [ML 876]Iron Monkey: Part II (1993) [ML 877]Are two parts of the same 90 min film but are separate releases. No idea what the picture quality of HK releases are like though. I've only seen one Japanese laserdisc but it was an early 80s release so I wasn't that blown away by the quality.

So far I'd say Phantom Menace which we compared awhile back. But anytime there's a movie or music title that hasn't been released again I enjoy seeing it on LD.
