Ok folks. I need a vote.

I planning on buying one of these on ebay. My heart is set on the ld.

Any suggestions?

The "Dobly Digtial Laserdisc" sounds like a fake.

Posted by Tom Petrov (Member # 1534) on 05-02-2011, 10:22 PM:

Why is that Adam?

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 05-03-2011, 05:01 AM:

Because LaserDiscs are incapable of Dobly Digital. FACT. I am not joking.

Posted by Steve Guttag (Member # 268) on 05-03-2011, 06:58 AM:

yeah, but what about Dolby Digital?

Posted by Hillary Charles (Member # 769) on 05-03-2011, 08:16 AM:

Isn't the This Is Spinal Tap laserdisc in Dobly?

Posted by Andy Frodsham (Member # 4061) on 05-03-2011, 10:37 AM:

I saw Dobly in one of the Harry Potter films!

Tom, you sir are Film-Tech's drunk guy at the party who ends up in underwear with a lampshade on your head. [beer]

I'm really beginning to like you. [Eek!]

This thread turned out to be dobly as entertaining as I thaught it would be.

Posted by Tom Petrov (Member # 1534) on 05-06-2011, 02:58 PM:

So, do you any of you guys have any info on full bit-rate DTS dvds?

Posted by Aaron Garman (Member # 1653) on 05-07-2011, 02:02 AM:

To reply to the original question:

Get them both, compare, and use the one that is worse as a coaster. If the DVD loses, you'll have a nice coaster for a can of beer. If the LaserDiscs loses, you can use it for a stein of beer.

Spoken like a true Domer! [beer]

I'm not a real "Domer": all I do is work here. I am, however, probably speaking like a true German.

PROST! [beer]

Did "Over both of you're heads" run in digital at all anywhere,
or was it available in 35mm dobly only ?

Posted by John Lasher (Member # 968) on 07-10-2011, 12:45 PM:

No, I'm pretty sure that one was only available on fruit-by-the-foot, and in THX.
