I like this retrospective of the formats. I’ve watched the blu-ray version that came with the 4K package in my 65” X90J. I don’t see why people think the 4K loos better, I’ve “A’B’” stills from both discs on separate players, the colors pop and contrast more on Blu-Ray. Am I the only one who thinks this way?

[@brandonpage7087]

Oh hellz yeah!! I'm down for physical media! For me, home video will never die. Streaming services are just not my thing.

[@hadassahbenson4020]

I first watch this movie when I was nine and spending a summer in Hawaii. Lol. I was a little freaked out by the ocean after that.

[@NoirFan84]

Jaws I've owned on so many different formats not only because it's a great film but also because it's always one of the standout examples of a film that showcases the upgrade quality of each & every new format. I'm always impressed with how it looks.

[@adriannn3720]

LotR could have been the same, but they somewhat botched the 4K release by DNR-ing the shit out of it. At least the HDR and 10-bit are well-applied, and not every scene has critically suffered from the DNR, but still...

This was brilliant. Such a good idea for a series too. Would love to see you do The Thing next.

Much appreciated. I’m working on more! Also - your channel is great. Congrats on all the growth

Y’all are both great. Keep it up.

[@Naminski1a]

@@JeffRauseo Can you do the home video history of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983), please?

[@DerekHamby]

This was a great idea whoever suggested this. I'd like to see you do classics like Frankenstein, Psycho, Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz and Halloween. Great video, Jeff.

[@braxerax5553]

The CED is one of the most fascinating failed formats of all. If you're curious, there's lots of videos about it. One of the best is from Techmoan, and if you're in for the long haul Technology Connections did a set of videos covering its complete history and how it's tied to the downfall of RCA. So glad to see it on this list because CED releases are usually forgotten!

[@crazydave333]

I have about 10 CED platters of stuff like The Wrath of Khan and My Fair Lady. Never had a player though. I'd like to watch them someday.

[@shanerollins3736]

@@crazydave333 I currently have A Clockwork Orange, Cruising, and La Cage Aux Folles on CED. To call it an interesting format is an understatement. They were literally vinyl records with a movie on them instead of an album. The format would have been groundbreaking in 1964, when it was conceived, but it was old hat in 1981, when it finally came out. Also RCA, who manufactured all the discs and parts, refused to read the writing on the wall regarding the format. They would manufacture players and discs no one wanted, and this left thousands of copies of movies unsold, sometimes even millions of certain titles. Gone With The Wind is a good example. Over 5 million CEDs were made. The first 105,000 were destroyed because of a mastering problem, and had to be replaced. Out of the 5 million made, less than 500,000 actually sold. That was an extreme scenario, but similar things happened with other titles. The studios took a major loss, and one by one they all bailed. RCA eventually pulled the plug over 1986-1987, losing $600 million and going bankrupt in the process. CED is one of the only format failures in history to also sink the company that made it. On a lighter note, the caddies usually had unused pictures on them, film reviews, and write-ups that went beyond the usual description on the back that every movie has. In multi-disc sets (Scarface, A Clockwork Orange, Jesus Of Nazareth, etc) there were multiple sets of these images and reviews, a different set on each disc, so you wound up with almost a scrapbook of that particular movie. And in Jesus Of Nazareth’s case, that’s still the only unedited copy of that movie. So at least CED has that going for it. :)

[@scotttild]

Laser disc were so cool back in the day, the artwork on a lot of them are worth collecting alone.

[@lukecorwin4589]

Given the recent 4K remaster of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, that is one I would like to see reviewed like this.

[@syntroniccyndi6358]

This is a great idea. I have a few suggestions. The Shining, Willy Wonka, Star Wars trilogy, or Halloween.

[@JDMVman]

I remember renting that Widescreen VHS from my library. That edition is what made me hip to how widescreen worked and I had watched the movie countless times on full screen by that point so it was jaw dropping.

[@ForEternia]

Jaw dropping lol 😆

[@Koldeman]

Same. I also rented a widescreen version of Star Trek IV & Leonard Nimoy did a little intro explaining the letterbox format & I was hooked.

[@klel68]

I used to have a laserdisc machine, I had quite a few movies. I had all the Back to the future movies and the Batman movies. Back to the future 3 was a two disc with three sides, Back to the future 1 & 2 was a single disc with two sides. I sold them when I bought a DVD machine in 1997.

[@pauleckert4321]

Love this video. Can you please please do Disneys Fantasia? Its my favorite of the Disney legacy films and would love to see you do a history on it. Thanks again for the work you do.

[@pauleckert4321]

Guess not lol.

[@DivineKnight_115]

I love the letter Steven wrote to George regarding star wars being the first to beat jaws at the box office. Really shows their lifetime friendship starting off respectfully and with creative ambition to drive.

[@Stayhumblefootieguy]

This is my favourite film of all time and my first 4k purchase for my collection no matter how many times I never get sick if it 👍

[@ericlozen9631]

I began collecting LD's somewhat near the end of it's desirability. A market that appealed only to a small percentage of home theater enthusiasts . I purchased my last LD (Dances With Wolves Limited Collectors Edition) in 1997. However I never did get JAWS. DVD technology was about to hit the consumer market and I was excited as hell. Now so many years later, home theater systems are extremely popular and I believe that it'll never loose interest in the consumer market. I'm fairly new to the 4K market and my modest collection of 4K movies is slowly beginning to increase; yes, I do have JAWS and I love it. I saw it in the movie theater. I was just 7 years old. Because of 4K technology, I decided to purchase an entire home theater system to replace my dated one. I spent a lot of $$ but it was well spent. The 4K player I got was the UB9000.

[@popey129]

Good episode. Good the Bad and ugly has a storied history of releases.

[@brycekellyhowe]

I feel deep dives in other Spielberg movies and Kubrick films would be super fascinating. Love this idea!

[@richesmovietrailers953]

Ditto on that, especially Kubrick's films! Also would love to see one on the original Star Wars trilogy.

[@christophermosca4547]

I absolutely love this idea Jeff !!! thank you so much. I’m a fellow New Englander (I’ve lived my whole life in Rhode Island), and like yourself, Jaws is one of my favorite films. I both loved to see a focus on the film, but the history of home media for the film. I am older (52) , and honestly, never knew there were this many types of home media on Jaws (despite being an avid movie collector, and owning not only many films, but having had a few versions of this film.) My parents took me to see Jaws at the drive in, back in the 70’s, in it’s initial run….. this along with Boston MA based UHF signal channel 56’s “Creature Double Feature”, helped to fuel my love of both horror , sci fi and suspense films (in a historical sense) and a love of 70’s cinema. It is great to see a focus on individual films, and any part of their history (even a release of home media formats.) I have subscribed to you, from watching Heath , at Cereal at Midnight (Heath’s show has been my “gateway” to so many excellent film fans-turned educators)…. You, Heath, Mixed Media report, Daiske Beppu and Vanessa Buttino have become my “go to” teams for film history, new releases, and with yourself, even tech sugggestions. Thank you so much and keep up the super work. Could you consider reviewing next: Star Wars, The Exorcist, Phantasm, and Salem’s Lot ? Quick question: being a Jaws fan, can you answer me a question: do you have any idea if there were alternate edits of the film, from the 70’s, that no longer exist ? either an 80’s tv edit, or 70’s only edit, that had additional scenes…..even minues or seconds of extra footage. I seem to remember an extended version of the “Estuary attack” sequence, where a young Mike Brody was seen from a different camera angle, next to the shark, and with the adult, spewing blood from his mouth as he was dragged under the water. I could swear this was from a theatrical edit I saw in the RI, at the drive in….. it’s a version I have only seen once, and I’ve never read anything about it being used. The only mention of it, is that Steven Spielberg attempted to film this, and it landed on the cutting room floor. I am almost positive I remember this from the 70’s when I was a little kid. Might alternate edits / versions of movies be another angle for you (or others ) to attempt ? I’ve viewed the Halloween home media history too….. AWESOME !!!! Thanks and keep up the superb work ! Best, Chris Mosca Johnston, Rhode Island

[@guittarman7]

I rewatched this video like 2 months ago and now I have 300 movies on laserdisc and two laserdisc players. Jaws looks awesome on disc from 1978! Crazy that it existed so long ago

[@ToastyBuff]

Jaws is as close to a perfect film as I can think of.

[@kthx1138]

Next to Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Wizard of Oz

[@Out-Cast75]

man i love the 4k Jaws package with the booklet , when you watch it its so amazing how it looks .

[@CoinOpTV]

Bravo Jeff on the new series - catching AVGN vibes with the 'old tech'

[@railerswim]

I love this idea. Do more!

[@maxpower78-15]

I was born in 1978. Sometime in the mid 1980s, my family taped on vhs an ABC TV broadcast of Jaws. That tape had a version of the movie ive never seen since. They edited-in many of the deleted scenes we later got on dvd, bluray and now 4k. It was great. More Quint, more of the initial conversation between Brody and the summer dink who lost his girl to the shark in the opening scene. It was a longer cut. Much like the Godfather Saga which took place in sequential order with deleted scenes added in. I wish i still had it.

[@shanerollins3736]

Sometimes they did that. Hope I can find the lost cut. It’s definitely out there somewhere, no way you were the only household taping Jaws. I just watched a recording tape of The Ten Commandments over the last few days. Nothing’s added, and tons of stuff is deleted. Sometimes the TV cuts are better, sometimes they’re not. You got lucky, and I’m keeping my eyes open for this tape of Jaws now.

[@varsas10]

Great video! I'm always interested by Terminator 2 on home video. It has releases on a lot of odd formats, like HD Laser Disc, VCD and that digital copy you got to play on your PC. There is also the controversy around DNR (going back a long time) and the changes made recently.

[@shanerollins3736]

There’s no real controversy about the DNR or the changes. Controversy implies disagreement, and we’re all in agreement that the changes suck.

[@ChrisRoth1972]

I ❤️ this video.I ❤️ to learn about the history of releases of home video releases. I remember Beta,CED,& Laser Disc when they were new when I was a Kid.Movies to purchase back then we’re expensive! Thanks again for this fantastic video!

[@DanKeatis]

I love this format. Would love to see one of these for Batman 1989, or (of course) Star Wars / A New Hope.

[@chadwick1e466]

Hey great Video Jeff! This brought back memories big time. My dad in the 70’s worked for DiscoVision before he worked as an engineer for Pioneer, and I used to sneak a peak at some of the Laserdiscs he collected while he was at work, such as Alien, Smokey and the Bandit, some behind the scenes footage of the TV series Star Trek(bootlegged) to name a few, however, Jaws was the only disc he let me watch as a kid. Jaws to this day is one of my top 5 favorite films.

[@paulcadman3562]

Great look at the history of Jaws on physical media very very interesting !

I saw a guy on KZbin a while back who did this with ‘THE THING’ and it was so informative. Love these style of videos.

[@4luvofmovies485]

Thanks Jeff this brought back a lot of memories. Seeing the old pics of the lines. I was in those lines in 1975. As a 10 year old. And like you Jaws will always be my favorite movie of all time. I was thinking of. Indiana Jones for the next one 👍

Jaws was re-released in Canada on VHS a year earlier in 1986. I distinctly remember this because I found it in a store along with The Sting. The two of them were my first purchases of pre recorded media in any form.

In the event someone would have a "medical event", I remembered fire trucks stationed outside the theaters when this movie was first released. It was 5 years before I would swim in a natural body of water again; I needed 4 walls and chlorination at all times I slapped on swim trunks.

Please keep on doing this! I love film history

[@williamkidney6031]

My all time favorite movie. It was the first one I ever rented and owed, it was on beta. Later I got it again on VHS, and I also had one on tape but it was in widescreen, then DVD and now I have it on blue ray it does look great, it's good enough for me.

[@jesseallen4184]

Bloody brilliant video! Jaws and Alien are my favourite films. I’d love to see a mini doco video on Alien.

I still own the 2 tape 25th Anniversary VHS I had when I was 6 in 2000. I also have the 25th anniversary DVD, 30th Anniversary DVD, the 2012 Blu-Ray and the 45th Anniversary 4K Blu-Ray. I don’t have any of the laserdiscs or other releases of the film, but Jaws has had so many home videos releases and it’s fantastic. I love going through the various releases for films like this. Thanks for the video man!

[@mrbrandonmartin388]

I got the two tape vhs 25th anniversary edition for my birthday. It was the first time I was aware of people making movies because of the great making of documentary on the 2nd tape. Still my favorite film of all time.

[@richardcastelluccio4764]

Yea I do have the Jaws Definitive laser disc box set. Now I need the 4k release. You should have mentioned that when 1st released it wasn't letterbox and half the movie was missing from the screen. You should do a side by side to show how much was missing from the non letterbox version. It's a totally different movie. I watch your site and enjoy it very much. I also have the Special Edition of Aliens o. Laser disc when it had the extra 20 minutes of footage. Take care.

[@kilroy4103]

Well done. I fully enjoyed this. Please make more of these.

[@crayzmarc]

Still find it odd you blue eyes that I see much clearer now. Great video. This is wonderful. You deserve to hit 100k soon for sure!!! All the best and this is an ace video for an ace film. Strongly recommend the play The Shark is Broken.

[@unconditionalprong]

John Carpenter's The Thing would be an interesting one. There are versions with different music due to licensing issues. Also, that's how The Thing was able to become the cult success story that it has become.

[@ForEternia]

That's cool I didn't know there were other releases with different music. I owned the original DVD. And now I just purchased the 4k a couple of months ago. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@unconditionalprong]

@@ForEternia Some video releases of Jaws had the music changed as well. I think all video releases from ca. 1983-1995 were like this. For The Thing, all video releases from ca. 1985-1996 were where the music was changed. The Signature Collection laserdisc/DVD was the first since the 1982 video release to restore the original music. With Jaws, I think the first DVD release was where the music was restored. The early Discovision and VHS/BETA releases keep the original music.

[@RumourdProd]

@@unconditionalprong like what. Examples?

[@unconditionalprong]

@@RumourdProd Stevie Wonder's Superstition during the rollerskating scene was replaced with music made by MCA session musicians. Some versions of Jaws remove (You're) Having My Baby and replace the music. However, all releases since DVD have the song as presented theatrically. One way to note if the music was replaced would be to look on the back on the box or jacket. It will say "Home video version, some music rescored" on the info. Other movies that were like this were Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, Cheech & Chong's Next Movie, Where the Buffalo Roam, and Nighthawks. All listed movies now have their music restored.

[@RumourdProd]

@@unconditionalprong Where is Having my baby in Jaws?

[@MrBuc128]

Jaws is my favorite film of all time. I first saw it at age 9 during the summer of ‘79 during a re release in theaters. Then in November of ‘79 I begged my mom to let me stay up to watch it on ABC. I went to MV only once in my life ( pretty sad considering I’ve lived in Boston all my life ) and loved it . I’ve owned Jaws twice on vhs one full screen and then I upgraded to wide screen then dvd then blu ray and now 4K blu ray

[@beardedfilmguy]

Universal needs Summer dollars! Awesome video, Jeff! Looking forward to more of these!

[@GregJones-nr6px]

Jeff, thanks for the great video. A little something about the Laserdisc versions. There are a couple more. I started collecting Laserdisc's in 1980. There are two types CAV and CLV. CAV could hold 30 min and CLV held an hour per side. CAV could be still framed, played in slow motion and speed up because, each frame was one revolution of the disc. None of those features could be done with CLV. Sometime in 1980 all movies pressed went to CLV. Before that all were CAV. CAV had a resurgence in the 1990's because collectors like myself liked that format better. Raiders and the Star Wars movies were some of the Special edition CAV titles that came out that previously were CLV. Jaws was the first Laserdisc title pressed like you said in 1978 in CAV. It didn't get repressed until 1984. It was a time-compressed ( speed up to fit 2 hours), 2 sided CLV version released by MCA Home Video. A widescreen (2.35:1) version was issued in June 1992 by MCA/Universal Home Video as a 3 sided CLV/CAV version. In 1995 MCA/Universal released a deluxe edition of Jaws to their Signature Collection as an 8 sided THX certified Widescreen (2.35:1) Deluxe CAV Limited Edition Box set. Extras were included on the extra sides. A year later in November 1996, an CLV version of the Signature Collection edition was issued. It is the same as the CAV edition, but the movie proper has been reduced to 3 sides. It is the same THX certified transfer and on-disc supplemental materials are duplicated here as were used previously. The CD Soundtrack and paperback book in the CAV box set were excluded from this CLV edition. Cheers.

[@kevinkrouse8608]

Before VHS, "Jaws" was released on Super 8mm film with sound (it was a digest version and came in 2 parts with each part approximately 16 minutes each). It was even letterboxed with black bars at the top and bottom of the image. On the laserdisc, the reason for so many 'flips' of the disc was that some versions were CAV (which held 30 minutes of movie per side) and other versions were CLV (which held 60 minutes of movie per side). In the CAV mode, you could pause, go forward or backward but in the CAV mode there were no special functions, you just played the movie straight through flipping it at the one hour mark. In my "Jaws" collection I have the 2 part Super 8mm digest version, CED, VHS, VHS Widescreen, Laserdisc, Laserdisc Widescreen, DVD, Blu-ray and the 4K version! Really hope they release the new 3D version!!!

[@musicnbass]

Love the video Jeff! Great idea. Looking forward to what movie you do next. On Jaws, I wasn't allowed to see it theatrically in 1975. Parent's rules. 1st time was on broadcast TV 1979. Fast forward several years. Although I watched a LOT of movies on vhs, I learned what pan and scan was/is and only went after laser disc because of the letterbox format. I did aquire my copy of that signature series collector's edition. The bonus features are awesome. Although I did get a DVD copy I'm gonna hang on to my LD. Like I said earlier, some movies ARE for the WIDESCREEN and not "cut the sides off" pan and scan. Example....1st vhs showings of Star Wars or 2001 A Space Odyssey.

[@chrissyboy7047]

Great video Jeff. Id be interested to see more like this. Jaws is probably my favourite film, i grew up reading my dads copy of the Jaws log and watching the film. It was a favourite of his too. It led to a lifelong fascination with sharks and I was lucky enough to tick one off the bucket list and go cage diving with great whites in South Africa. All because of Jaws

I remember that 2012 release on blu-ray. I didn't pre-order it cause I didn't think anyone cared about Jaws as much as I did. I was wrong. I had to drive two hours to a Best Buy in a small town in Michigan who were holding the collector edition with the book included. I learned my lesson with pre-ordering and the day the 4k collector edition was announced, I pre-ordered it within minutes.

Really enjoyed the video! I'd love to see a history of Star Wars physical media releases

Ironically, CED is the one I most remember of the disc formats. We were VHS at home, but the Video Station next to my dad’s barber shop had a bunch of movies on CED. The cover of “Escape from Alcatraz” still stands out to me

Yeah this video was fun. It's always cool to see which versions u own based on the time-line. Makes u remember where u were when X version came out. "Oh yeah I was 15 when tha came out and I begged my gma to buy the dvd, not the vhs, but alas..."

Congrats to whoever suggested this! Love it. So many great films you can make video's on. Good luck if you do the Original Star Wars Trilogy! LOL

*I really hope they release Jaws 2 on 4K. it's a great sequel*

With a 5.1 remixed soundtrack! John Williams' score would sound stunning and the underwater scenes would benefit from all the surround bubbles.

Great Video! I'm going to have to watch my 4k copy one of these evenings.
