Nissling....BD decent ? BD is an astonishing format (when there is no DNR applied...you know they love that s**t)
Im in this LD vs DVD thread.....agree DVD is a general step up over LD until you find these scenes I'm talking about (intense action,hundreds of particles, smoke, movie lenght) where Laserdisc delights perfectly and the DVD lone disc seems to be bitrate retarded :) to solve the pixelation
Hand made Cel animation (till year 2000 +/-) is a form of art ,and we can watch and appreciate it forever no problem....
Remember one french producer and animator of "Ulises 31" (Jap-France anime tv series) talking in the DVD premium edition about being a Grandpa and enjoying every single episode of the series
I have watched it again...he is Rene Borg creator ,animator and cinematographer of Ulises 31 concept who directed only the first episode talking sadly about being retired from direction by DIC and Tokyo movie Shinsha producers;...at 75 years old he still wanted to redirect the entire tv series he loved on his own way !
Another famous japanese co-productions directed by him; Once upon a time...space
My ultimate goal is to return to the true Luciferian worship of LD and S-VHS only vídeo library. Freeview tv channels are 1080i and weeks ago while watching i made a very good SVHS recording of "Baby Driver" (2017) and "Tomb raider" (2018) that shined later on the CRT
These Sailor Moon LD captures are not even"comb filtered" they look terrible off focus, mixed colors and croma double image...please use a crt tv to watch your Ldiscs. The DNR applied to the Bluray release is a crime. The VHS as always pretty good.
If you can please use a LD player to a crt tv or crt monitor directly vía composite vídeo rca cable ,as simple as that and you will realize that LD quality is another very different thing
Signofzeta expressed it perfectly Another options are a small LCD tv whose specs clearly announce 3D comb filter for composite inputs, or using a Panasonic/Samsung DVD recorder as an av receiver to pass through the signal but anyway a good crt is what LD is made for
Usually we forget that only S-VHS decks can output a true natural S-Video signal from a VHS tape. Laserdisc is a full totally mixed raw composite signal, so the S-VHS deck will make wonders with the tape and the S-Video output of the LD player will create a benefit "or not" depending on the tv.
After a whole year of study and research i can say that DVD is superior to VCD and LD superior to VHS; Is DVD superior to LD?... is an apple superior to an orange?
I know it is only the trailer but not really attracted to this DUNE version in any aspect,dont see the magic, i love the 1984 movie its atmosphera ,the cast...
LDs from D2 Digital tape have crisp resolution but sometimes inaccurate skin tones (towards green). For my taste best are LDs mastered from Type C/Betacam SP pro-analog videotapes
Máster tapes for DVD as far as i know have been always Digibeta tapes with HDcam and another formats being punctual exceptions
If everyframe is upgraded and therefore scanned or photographed once more digitally the color hue will be altered and put to mp4 so it is just another usual rip or worst. Central key word is preservation and you will be an old dead man before your A-ko LD become unreadable
xtempo ....yes the tv series is long, i watched the two or three first episodes and went directly to this movie which is superior to the other ovas in every aspect.
rein-o ....true there is no way to "officially certify" it unless documented on the disc but all the old Laservision releases i have look like i prefer and clearly different from the "digitally transferred" ones that have a very obvious renderized picture.
Sadly new BD players cant play old vcd releases. The use..well sometimes i just put new remastered BD editions of classic anime to VHS or VCD to look "classic" again on my crt tvs :) With live action movies at 2mbps you are free of pixelation and packs of 100 - 200 cd-r cost nothing today (internet) If you hate "movie files" is a super fast way encoding/burning your own editions on self playing discs
