T2 boxset in "Dobermann" (1997):
...and you can see other laserdiscs - few second before, "Natural Born Killers", for example. |

Yesterday I wrote an article about various versions of The Thing:
http://blog.sporv.com/disentangling-the-thing/
as this is THE place to find info about laserdiscs, I wonder if an owner of the Signature Collection could help me.
I'm trying to find out if the AC-3 track is the "real" one using the 4-track stem (or the 6-track magnetic tape master).
The best way to understand it would be to capture the AC-3 track itself, but I don't know if there is someone with the knowledge AND the technology AND the will to do that! :angel:
But there is another way to find it out; a surround system is needed, though. Select the AC-3 track, and just go around 15m, when "Superstition" is playing; check if the song is playing from the surround speakers continuosly after Naul's shot, or just briefly only when the meeting room is shown.
Thanks in advance! |

I resurrect (pun intended) this thread because I've found that The Matrix laserdisc screenshots from a TV, taken with a camera or a phone, are pretty different from the screenshots taken from a capture, that are very close to DVD.
Examples (from top DVD, LD capture, LD photos):
https://i.postimg.cc/qv2MyRBp/thematrixdvd-capture1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/tgyR5j7W/thematrixlaserdisc-capture1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/pdZWc6n7/thematrixlaserdisc-photo1.jpg (taken from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFq4VFQ2RRI )
https://i.postimg.cc/gkC2xRWM/thematrixdvd-capture2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/WbF4p8QF/thematrixlaserdisc-capture2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/zBGJsFCf/thematrixlaserdisc-photo2.jpg (taken from this photo https://forum.lddb.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&p=61621 )
please disregard the aspect ratio and take only in account color grading.
The most probable answer for this difference should be the autowhite of the camera/phone used to take the photo/video.
Now, can anyone with The Matrix laserdisc take a look at their discs and confirm or confute this? Or with the Region 4 DVD hippiedalek talked about here?
Because, if it's not due to autowhite, and not to the display (first OLED, second plasma), then ***maybe*** there are two different versions around? |

May I suggest to capture the same frames found on caps-a-holic?
Even if not exactly the same frame and/or not all of them, it could help to get the difference between laserdisc and digital video (DVD/HD-DVD/BD/UHD-BD)
Thanks! |

Agree with signofzeta pretty much on everything; in particular, keep your laserdisc player "alive", playing some disc sometimes during the year - if you keep it in storage without use, it most probably will suffer of... something!
The only thing I do not agree is about lens cleaning; you can do it, but YOU MUST use isopropyl alcohol ONLY, AND NOT the usual alcohol you have at home, AND ONLY if the player is otherwise working well mechanically. |
