I suppose there were more titles on LD than HD-DVD, but it was still very much a niche item. (I hooked mine up a few months ago and it's amazing the *thrummmmmm* it makes spinning up that huge heavy disc..). So what? Once it's spinning it's quiet enough, and LDs were a much better medium than VHS tapes. The sound of the best ones still beats DVD sound. I find that hard to believe. That sounds like one of those things people say just because the precision and certainly have lend a sonorous quality to it. I doubt any human ears can tell the difference between the sound coming off a DVD and a LD. Electronic instruments monitoring critical areas of the sound reproduction could, but human ears wouldn't be able to discern that difference. The big advantage LD had over DVD is the audio and video (at least on one type of LD) wasn't compressed. Audio equal to or better then that of a CD, video that gives each frame of a film a full frame on the LD as opposed to DVDs use of key frames... Now, the advantages of DVD outweighed that for most of us, another case where it wasn't video and audio quality that drew consumers. Small size, cheaper price, stereo on every audio track and not just one, better subtitles... Still, I know of animation fans who hate what mastering a cartoon for DVD does to the image. -- Chris Mack "Refugee, total shit. That's how I've always seen us.
