Warped Laserdisc

[@vwestlife]

Ironically, one of the original marketing names for LaserDisc was "Magnavision"!

[@ThawedTroglodyteJury]

vwestlife My favorite is DiscoVision. Appropriate since the format came out in the '70s!

[@watnkj650]

if you sandwich the disc between two solid surfaces and put some weight on it for a few weeks or longer. Might help

[@16mmDJ]

That's what I'm trying now. Turns out laserdiscs are pretty easy to flatten. Thanks for the advice!

[@watnkj650]

not a problem. hope it works

[@aalecmmcgrory930]

is that the film "my neighbour totoro" by studio ghibli, i love that film

[@HundleysOnABirdDiet]

yes, yes it is.

[@bernardharquail9405]

Put the disc between 2 pieces of glass and put 10 pounds of books onto the top.

I just got Armageddon on LD. The first disk is Warped and does the same thing with the picture

[@jpstyles85]

ahh ok. next video I watch i will take note how far into the movie before i get chopping on screen. I have 2 or 3 discs that has the laser rot.

[@josephwilson8391]

My high-end LX-900 revision 1995 laserdisc player will play through warped discs without any video or audio distortion. However my LX-h670 will read the discs the same way your laserdisc player does. If a disc has rot no laserdisc player that I know of can auto-correct it but I'm telling people if their laserdisc is slightly warped that higher end models probably will play it without any issues. Or maybe Panasonic did something special with the LX-900. I have never owned a high end or even mid-range Pioneer player so I wouldn't know how it plays on those laserdisc players.

Hey is this the Pan&Scan Totoro disc?

[@JeffChittenden]

AKIRA or bust. flippin love that film.

[@elijahmodnar1]

Tape it in-between two chopping boards or similar and then leave it in the freezer ;)

[@MasonFowlkesKenneth]

So I got a CLD-3070 player and when playing Shawshank, I don't notice any visible signs of issues, but the player's laser will 'squeak' after each rotation and slowly get louder minutes into the movie. I play back my Back to the Future disc, and nothing. Any ideas? I'm assuming it's the discs and not the player..

I have the same problem on a copy of My Cousin Vinny which was also made by Fox Video.

[@masterbrendan]

Interesting video! My friend has an LD collection, and some of his discs have started getting laser rot. Do the warped discs scrape inside when it plays?

[@HeavyMetal95]

dude I have Akira on vhs but we're did you get two of those anime laserdiscs

[@16mmDJ]

ebay :0

[@yuh6094]

Well the noise ISNT sound noise when in video is pixelation or what you describe as chopping up the image.

[@superhavi]

Did flattening the disc help?

[@darrados496]

The thumbnail looks warped

[@lunavixen5455]

What process are you using to flatten them my friend?

[@16mmDJ]

I ended up leaving it on the bottom of a stack of like 30 or so discs for a year 😏

[@fanofretrotechnology3802]

Very cool

[@kodewilliams2892]

Is that 4K oled?

[@elgeneralxx]

Try snapping the disc in two halfs then you dont have to flatten it

[@MaryStewart]

get those on dvd! lol

[@tamacat2001]

@Risen General The FOX dub of Totoro was on DVD though it's been out of print for years.

[@leathercheerio1]

What kind of childhood did you have..haha..never heard of totoro

[@GoldSrc_]

Ryan Fausnaugh You never had childhood then xD. You should watch Totoro and Spirited Away, good movies.

[@justification1979]

Gordon Freeman Pretty much anything Studio Ghibli.

[@jacknetarchive]
