Visions of Light: The Art of Cinematography contains a speaker test and then color bars with tone after the film.

Got mine for $5 + shipping. The NTSC DVD sells for considerably more, being OOP.

Don't forget the Pioneer reference discs.

GGV1069 for NTSC (still available from Pioneer)

GGV1007 for PAL

They have by far the most pure test signals, far better quality than the VE disc, and are the smaller size disc to allow adjustments to be made to the LD player while the disc is in.

You need these if you want to calibrate your LD player correctly using the player's service manual.

If anyone is interested I can upload some patterns from the Pioneer NTSC and PAL reference discs.

With Alien 3, State Fair, and Visions of Light all containing a sound check + color bars with tone after the movie, it seems to be a common feature among mid-late '90s FOX discs.

Here is another with the same patterns: http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/06720/8901-85/Mighty-Morphin-Power-Rangers:-The-Movie-%281995%29

The link is a little visual of the GGV1069 for NTSC

That's not the actual image on the disc! It looks like that is the composite video voltage (IRE) trace from a set of color bars when displayed on an oscilloscope.

I thought that's what he meant; the color bars on that disc run into a waveform monitor to show the technical quality.

Just let me know how you would like them. There is a huge selection of test patterns.

I've put the Pioneer Test disc captures in the other thread.

I'll check the end of the JSC tonight and see.

The HE010 one that is in stock at that link is actually a demo disc with some test signals at the end. It contains hi quality video material:

1. Milford Sound & Great Barrier Reef
2. Dai-ichi Hotel Tokyo Bay
3. Japan Sketch
4. Restaurant Gallery
5. Hi-Visual Image
6. Sylvanian Families
7. Canadian
8. Test Signals

The pioneer reference disc GGV1069 is still available from Pioneer USA and is about $30 from memory. I bought one just a month or two ago.

Mainly interested in anything showing comb filter performance & dot crawl (e.g. colour bars), and resolution (e.g. multiburst).

I'll redo them using the composite out into the BMI, and also from the X9 Svideo ouptut for comparison.

The pioneer discs are mainly to use alongside a service manual. With them you can tune up your player to minimise crosstalk, ringing, dropouts etc. by using the patterns with a scope (or a software scope) and get your player working as well as it can.
