Hey Gents, This has been bugging my for ages. Pioneer pressed Laserdiscs from a certain year onwards (mid-90s?) have a spine number starting with PILF. Anyone know what this actually stands for? I assume P is Pioneer and F is for Film (I would also assume the A in the PILA of Pioneer pressed animation is for err.. Animation). Somebody help me out with this?

Probably nothing to do with or anywhere close to the acronym "MILF"

As far asI can make it, it's "PI" for Pioneer, "L" for LaserDisc. Interestingly, "W" seems to stand for Video (Wideo? hello Elmer Fudd). |

L could possibly state for Live (concerts). |

Thanks for all the replies. I cant believe that I never figured that the L in PILF would stand for Laserdisc.

Would anyone (cold_sleeper ?) know what are the meaning of the different PILF series ? PILF-1000 to PILF-2870 PILF-7000 to PILF-7404 ... Why separate them ? |

Hi takou I do not know why, that seems to be divided by distributors But also feel like a mix.... Only "PILD-7～" is clearly just "Daiei" have been identified as. |

I think I've finally decoded the Pioneer catalog numbers for Pioneer Europe. For example, The UK edition of Titanic is PLFED-34501 PL = Pioneer LaserDisc Next character is program type: F; Film T; Televison M; Music S; Scenery K; Karaoke Next is Language: A; ?? (Only seen on Rolling in the Sky titles) E; English F; French G; German I; Italian M; Original Language w/ Subtitles (either fixed or TeleText) - French Release N; Original Language w/ Subtitles (either fixed or TeleText) - Netherlands (French Karaoke seems to use N too) S; Spanish C; Classical (Music) J; Jazz (Music) P; Pop (Music) W; ?? (Only seen on Windham Hill titles) Next is Side count A; 1 B; 2 C; 3 D; 4 S; Box Set Next 4 are sequential numbers starting at; 0001 for Music 2001 for Scenery 3001 for Films & TV 4001 for Karaoke Netherlands 6001 for Karaoke French Last digit is always; 1; 12" discs 4; 8" discs Now, this is all based on digging through the database here on LDDB, and making some extrapolations. Does anyone have additions or corrections? |
