  Interesting video! I picked up this movie randomly having never seen it before with the 4K edition, it was beautiful. I'm not sure if any other format is going to be as good lol Which format is your favorite?

• 
  @5minutesofretro14 күн бұрын

  I will always prefer Laserdisc to any other format. Not because of the resolution of course, but the nostalgia. The audio tracks and color grading is almost always correct on Laserdisc as well, where the new 4K formats have new audio mixes and often very different color grading. I prefer to watch the movies as they were presented in the cinemas.

  @@5minutesofretro I get it, that last part though is something that I think is more of a moving target than people realize. Many just assume that the older dvd/beta/laserdisc is how the film was presented in the cinemas and that isn't always true. The Matrix for example was way too green until it was corrected in the 4K version. That increasingly complicated as movies were usually shot on negative film and with older films, release prints fade and deteriorate. I've never seen the same movie on multiple format that looked completely the same (color wise).

•

  True. It's not always correct on Laserdisc in terms of video, but more often than not it is. The audio is nearly always very altered in the 4K releases. Another thing is all the digital edits many movies suffers from these days. Everything from taking out segments or altering audio to be more politically correct etc. Good luck finding "Song of the South" on Blu-Ray. ;-)

  On the subject of LaserDisc (and your outro music), I've got two copies of Cannibal Holocaust on LD, both of which are the Netherlands pressing, but there's also a killer Japanese release I'd like to get one day. Those are maybe the coolest discs in my 200+ title collection.

  Nice. I've been a big fan of Riz Ortolani's music ever since I heard it for the first time. Not a particular fan of CH, but it's a classic for sure. Younger people today are too fixated on LD's lower picture quality. They can't fathom the impact it had on us back in the day, as you say, as it smashed into the home video market with all it's extensive attributes over VHS. To me that's the true nostalgic value today.

Neither is as full and complete as what is now labeled as the Director's Cut on dvd and bluray.

  I was really interested on how this excellent gaming scaler works for movies and my assumptions were true that it works great for that as well. So for retro gaming and home cinema lovers it's probably a great allrounder. CRTs becoming rarer and breaking down make this an excellent preservation device that comes close to a CRT and I'm excited for what the future holds. (For clarification: This doesn't completely replace CRTs)

It was the scariest part of the entire movie and it is not shown on the VHS, DVD or Blu-ray versions!!!!! We can clearly see that it was edited out. You can hear very scary music playing for no apparent reason at the end of the autopsy!!! In the scene in the theater version you get to see up close the aftermath of a Silicate attack!!!!!

  To each it's own I guess. I get it if you would apply this to older games but video's? That's insanity to me.

  Laserdisc almost always have the original color grading and original stereo theatrical mix.

  Great video. I was a RT4K beta tester and have a lot of advice from Mike Chi about LaserDisc specific settings. For all players you want IRE 7.5, that's why it's washed out. Also, composite is cleanest, especially with the new 3D comb filter that's been added.

•

  Thanks! It's an ongoing trial and error getting the best image. On my Laserdisc players the composite is definitely not the cleanest. S-VHS works much better for me. I haven't tried the latest firmware though. Also, Japanese and US Laserdisc require different IRE settings. At least most often.

  Do you still want IRE 7.5 if you're using a LD player only sold in Japan, or a Japanese LD release? Whisper of the Heart (Studio Ghibli) has darker black levels compared to most other US releases I have, I suspect that's due to it being intended for Japanese home ntsc tvs.

  Newer receivers don't have ProLogic decoding capabilities. That's your issue. You have to get an older model. My Marantz Cinema receiver can't do it either.
