Anyone into J-Pop?

Have just noticed this title was even not in the LDDB... (just made the entry)

 Jump to forum   Jump to topic

Posted: 28 Aug 2016, 08:29 

As collector of LD for a very long time, I bought many collections and thus met a lot of people ...
In the Eindhoven area I picked up many collections, from often former Philips employees, here I met the Blackburn plant manager, many people who worked in the Blackburn pressing plant, Laservision research people and sales persons ....

As all of you know the releases from the Blackburn are creap, so that part I skipped for most of it ...
My main interest is music, however some collectors want to part from it all iso cherry picking, so sometimes I got discs of other kinds.
What I noticed, the quality of non-commercial discs is often better compared to the commercial stuff.

Some of the non-commercial music releases I already posted in another tread, so in this one I want to focus on non-music / non-movie non-commercial discs.

Many of these discs I found were not interesting at all and I just threw them in the bin, the more interesting onces I kept ...

To kick-off : Famous blue Philips LaserVision label marked "mosaique et CDPP"

It starts of at :
frame 50 :
Images de l'archeologie - Paris 1985
frame 51 :
Centre de recherche sur les traitements automatises en archeologie classique
Centre de documentation photographique et photogrammetrique (CDPP)
Direction des bibliotheques, des musees et de l'information scientifique et technique (Ministere de l'education nationale)

frame 52 - 8900 : still frames of mosaique
frame 9025 - 37026 : still frames of archeological sites and finds in Italy, Greece, Albania, Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Tunesia.
(From site pictures, to pottery, statues, coins, jewelry)
frame 37027 - 37253 : still frames with maps of all the archeological sites and some more textual information

In other words it shows Romain, Greec, Etrusk, Egyptian, ... sites and art.
I presume the disc was for museum or library usage.

You might say boring, true, not "an every day to watch" disc, but also not a disc to throw in the garbage bin, where to find such a vast collection of images (must have been a hugh effort to prepare and master such a disc with still images)

Please post yours - try to find time to make a review of some others ...

According to kris 's post in this thread, CLD-1950 is able to play PAL analog sound.
I came to the seller and we hooked his player with composite rca wires but didn't get any sound with this PAL disc. I also took with me one of my NTSC CLV digital/analog disc which played just fine.

I confirm the 1950 does not support analog audio on PAL discs, if you need this feature you need the 2950, 925, 515, 909E or 919E

Hi Kris,
do you get error messages? If not try to get it in test mode (see service manual), you have service remote so it is easy, you should get a lot of information on screen...

Could it be the laser used for LD/cd doesn't go as far as dvd laser and thus it cannot read CD intro lead track?

No need to take off label from disc, as hereby example of mint mark on PDO disc - I have a number of PDO discs without label from factory ;)

they are : X Y YYYYY YYYY X

X = letter
Y = number

Whereby the 1st Y is the side identifier

Sonopress :
> LaserVision : use smaller label, and you can see a hand written mint mark
> LaserDisc : music discs use a very very light yellow plastic (not that yellow as PDO), non music uses a fully transparant plastic whereby for both also a smaller label and a engraved mint mark
There are exceptions though ... whereby the label is as big as the PDO label, than it becomes more difficult to see.
Like mentioned above, during LaserVision times the edges can tell a story (more rounded for PDO, more sharp for Sonopress)

You are right PDO has discs without these dashes, but these are discs before ~april 1982, some of the examples are the very early BBCV discs, however the these are limited (also some of the DiscoVision copy very early UK PAL releases are like this)
Also up until ~1984 the discs had the small sticker with barcode under the label, after that they disappeared.

Below the markings for Sonopress (Laservision and Laserdisc) using smaller labels than PDO, but as I highlighted above I also have discs pressed by Sonopress with a larger label, so you dont see the mint markings - one other speciality of Sonopress, I have several single-sided discs, where the blank side is colored blue.

I have seen Karaoke discs released in 2010, LaserJuke are released into 2002

What manufacturer / plant were pressing LDs till 2010.

I knew they were pressed for a few years after the last commercial LDs for the consumer market but thought it ended a few years before 2010.

Thanks for the info.

Posted: 01 Jan 2021, 16:28 

Hi,

I dont know your Pioneer player - are you sure that is the correct product number ?

answering your questioin, there 3 types of subtitles possible :

CC (NTSC only US and JP), I see you are from Europe, TVsets today in EU dont support CC, therefore you need something like a MYCAP Junior TV Closed Caption Decoder Adapter, you can still find those, this is to be placed between video output of LD player and input of TV.

LD-G (NTSC JP only), if you dont have a JP player which support LD-G, you need a external device like Pioneer LG-1, this has video in/out and requires digital sound input from LD player

TELETEXT (PAL only - very limited used on LD's), this can be directly accessed on most EU TV sets if you connect your LD player directly to your TV (dont use a scaler as it removes VBI TXT info)

As I dont know your set-up, most likely you are have to look for an external CC decoder.

Br, Edwin

Following quoted text is copyright Ro-Disc - May 1997 -

"
ONCE UPON A TIME...

Er was eens een dochteronderneming van Philips, Cascar genaamd, die zo'n 5 jaar geleden bij zichzelf dacht 'Wij gaan de Nederlandse markt overspoelen met LaserDiscs !". Men ging op zoek naar wat fabriekjes en begon wat titeltjes met videokwaliteit uit te brengen voorzien van Nederlandse ondertiteling. De Philipsfabriek in Engeland bleek toch net iets te duur te zijn, dus koos men voor het merendeel van hun titels voor een fabriek in Japan: Kuraray. Als troost bleek de gebruikte apparatuur (verouderde) Philips machines te zijn.

Helaas bleek de prijs/ kwaliteit goed in verhouding te liggen bij het eindresultaat. Alle titels bleken mispersingen te zijn en daarom ook onverkoopbaar. De partij is nog wel bij SuperClub terecht gekomen (ook van Philips), maar verkopen bleek toch vrij lastig en uiteindelijk is de hele bende bij Ro-Disc beland toen dit bedrijf zo gek was om in een keer de hele voorraad (Casear en Philips LD's) van SuperClub (meer dan 70.000 LD's!) over te nemen.

Helemaal gestoord was deze firma ook weer niet. Er was rekening mee gehouden dat er inderdaad zo'n 30.000 LaserDiscs vernietigd moesten worden. De hele voorraad is nog lang niet uitgezocht. Elke keer als er mispersingen boven water komen, worden deze weggegooid. Nu blijken er echter commerciele slimmerikken te zijn, die het voor elkaar krijgen om de containers vroegtijdig te legen en deze dan weer doodleuk te koop aanbieden bij Ro-Disc. Prijzen varierend van 5 gulden per stuk bij een afname van 2000 nieuwe dichtgesealde LaserDiscs of bijvoorbeeld 12.50 per stuk als er in een keer 600 afgenomen wordt. Ook wordt er al hier daar naar particulieren toe geadverteerd.

Met de fabriek Kuraray is het overigens verder nog goed gekomen. Tegenwoordig behoren ze tot 1 van de beste fabrieken ter wereld...

Moraal van het verhaal:

Vooral geen LaserDiscs kopen van beunhazen, maar alleen bij uw laser Dise-specialist die aangesloten is bij de RDD-Groep ;-)

Indien u toch graag in het bezit wilt zijn van deze zeldzame LaserDiscs, dan kan u ze ook GRATIS afhalen bij Ro-Disc. Wel van te voren even aangeven welke u wilt hebben. Om nog meer beunhazerij te voorkomen is er een maximum van 3 per titel per klant.

Het gaat om de volgende titels:

Amsterdamned

Assassination

Backtrack

Bloodsport

Blue Jean Cop

Burning Secret China Girl

Class Of 1999

Dive

Far From Home

Farewell To The King

>From Beyond

Gate II

Gobotron Saga

Hamburger Hill Hero And The Terror

Invaders From Mars

Jacknife

Muppet Babies

Number On With A Bullet

Paperhouse

Physical Evidence

Prayer For The Dying

Prince Of Darkness Princess Bride

Red Scorpion

Robotech The Movie

She-Ra Princess Of Power

Streets Of Gold

They Live Unholy

De volgende Cascar-titels zijn niet bij Kuraray geperst, maar bij Philips in Engeland (PDO). Dit zijn dus geen mispersingen en worden daarom ook gewoon te koop aangeboden:

Big Man On Campus - 10.

Dark Angel - 10.

Dirty Dancing - 10,

Koko Flanel - 10,

Mack The Knife - 10.

National Geographic - Haaien - 10.

National Geographic - Titanic - 10.

National Geographic - IJsbeer - 10. National Geographic - Neushoorn - 10.

National Geographic - Tijger - 10. Rambo III - 10.

Troetelbeertjes - 10. Young Guns - 10."
