But how about the seller who talks that Alien plays fine on his Philips? Is he lying? Because on my Pioneer it is unwatchable trash! Screen and sound.
(this LD edition is very important for me, I have my own criterias) Or you don't know what rot is Please post a picture or video of what issues you are having, and do you have multiple players to test the disc?

Just had to hover over the title and then click the trash can in case anyone else is wondering.

I've had multiple copies of this over the years, and they've all had a moderate amount of noise (especially, IIRC, on side two), but no actual rot. So I write this up as just a bad pressing. Still, it's considerably better than the US-released DVD, which I regard as unwatchable. If you have a region-free DVD or BD player, go for the UK Artificial Eye release, which is the best one around. I have my fingers crossed for a proper US release someday.

What a mess, especially for a movie from a big studio. Is there a Japanese LD? I couldn't find one doing a quick search on here.

I'll have to check the LD again, and see if I've mistaken noise for rot. What's wrong with the US DVD?

Decided to give Computer Animation Festival #1 [72333-80037-6] another spin since I was fiddling with my player's load belt after it refused to read a disc even on repeated inserts, and I noticed that the digital track sounds even worse on my new audio setup, while the distortion on the analog track in the other hand comes out so muted that it's almost watchable.
