r/LaserDisc

I believe it's widely known but I'm here to confirm yet again, it's a rotter. It's honestly not too distracting. I'd call it light. I was able to watch the whole movie without it driving me crazy.

My disc also must be warped because I get some crosstalk half way into side 1 and 2 (I swear every disc I've purchased from goodwill has been warped even when it looks okay to my naked eye).

The CAV disc has rot too but it's light

I bought this magnavox laserdisc player for $100 from my local record store. My partner and I tried setting it up to my 2014 vizio led tv. (for reference I also have my Panasonic vhs/dvd Player set up to this tv through the components too.) When setting up the player it turns on you can hear the disc spinner but the screen is just blue. any help? also thoughts and opinions on this player as well as history would be greatly appreciated.

The time between when I pressed play and the player went from a blue screen to an image was probably the most suspenseful 15 seconds of my year.

I have been working on a little side project in the corner next to my work desk. What started as a single B&W TV hooked up to a CED player in September is now 5 TVs hooked up to a CED, VCR and now laserdisc! Betamax is the last missing piece.

Pioneer CLD-3070 disc tray rises but wont open does anyone know how to fix this?

Found on Mercari and arrived sometime in the middle of the night. I’m not sure yet if these include all discs of each series. The volume numbers of each are consecutive so I’m hoping they are full sets.
- 0080: War in the Pocket - 12 discs
- Z - 12 discs
- W - 6 discs
- 0083: Stardust Memory - 13 discs
- F91 - 1 disc
- Mobile Suit Gundam - movies I, II, III and Char’s Counterattack

Texas chainsaw massacre 2

Went to the indie video game store that I don't work at because they also sell Laserdiscs and VHS.

These are what I grabbed, and I must say I'm pretty stoked on the Japanese copy of Cyclone Z (Dragons Forever) and 12 Monkeys, The Frighteners, and Starship Troopes absolutely made my day.

Hi everyone,

I need a advice on a video artifact that just appeared on my laserdisc.

I am uploading two screenshots for comparison:

The top image: This is a capture I made about a week ago. As you can see, the video was completely clean and played back without any issues.

The bottom image: Two days ago, while watching the disc again, I noticed this black and white line that appears on screen for about 10 seconds aprox.

I’ve inspected the physical disc under a strong light. The surface feels 100% smooth and flat to the touch with no external scratches, but I did notice some small spots/smudges with a strange, shiny reflection in some areas of the disc.

Since the surface is completely smooth, I'm hoping this sudden line is just caused by some recent dust, a hair, or maybe those strange smudges can be washed away.

What is the best and safest way to deep clean this disc to see if I can get it back to how it played a week ago? Also, based on the screenshots, could a sudden 10 second line like this be an early sign of laser rot, or does laser rot usually look different?

Thanks in advance for your help

Some captures of 1993's The Crush starring Alicia Silverstone. This has been deinterlaced and upscaled to 1080p. The laserdisc is version has never been released for home video, the DVD/VHS/Blu all have an edited version.

I posted the other day about getting 9 boxes of Laserdisc from a family member that passed. I found 1 more box. Seem like great movies but not sure if they have value. Trying to move everything quickly so I can give the $$ to his brother.

There's also like 10 of the Disney princess collection stuff.

All it took was a friend gifting me what he thought was the soundtrack to Roadhouse to set me on this journey. It's a humble collection but pretty well curated. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a laserdisc in a thrift store for years now, so any future additions will likely be eBay finds.

A great movie. Always enjoyed Dante’s Peak. That laserdisc Dts mix though 👌
