I don’t know if anyone here will find this of interest, but this is a project I am currently working on. The 1986 BMX classic, Rad, has never been released on DVD, and who knows if it ever will be. This is not a great movie by cinematic standards, but cult classics rarely are.

I own the laserdisc which I am using as the source. The LD is not that great quality-wise, but it is certainly better than the ever-aging VHS tapes.

The final output will be a single layer DVD featuring DD 2.0 sound and MPEG 2.0 audio, animated menus and chapter selection. The film is presented in 1.33:1 full screen as that is the only way it has been released. If there is interest in this, it may find its way to a.b.dvdr.

I realize that there are many bootlegs of this film out there already. There’s certainly no shortage on ebay. But you really don’t know what you’re getting, and this is something I wanted to do for myself anyway.

***I have also noticed that Rad will be airing on INHD2 on April 17th. I don’t currently have the ability to receive, much less capture, HD programming, but if someone here does, PLEASE capture it.
