A few years ago, I was casually strolling down my local flea market when I found a very unusual, very beat-up Imation LaserDisc... img137 (Medium).jpg
Besides the fact that it was for Best Buy, the late manufacturing date and the implication it was a back-up for an HD master piqued my interest!
I just recently captured it and put an edited version up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5qadXgWjrI
It's a very, very high-quality 4:3 crop of an obvious 16:9 source. With the loss of picture, I'm not sure I understand what the purpose of a back-up like this is. Was it not a back-up and instead a distribution given to stores that didn't yet have a HD infrastructure?
Does anyone have any information on this disc, have information on the purpose of such a disc, or have similar, pressed HD-mastered "back-ups" on LD from the turn of the millennium? |
