True, but what's wrong with laserdisc quality? 400 lines of resolution? PCM audio? Beats the crap out of vhs and is the original trilogy instead of whatever crank he's selling now? I'll take it!
I'd suggest there would still be quite a bit of difference between the original LaserDiscs and such a DVD, as from what I have read here, all these LaserDisc renditions have to be done by capturing the video footage

Why not just watch the laserdiscs if you have to change discs anyway???
Fair enough, but that wasn't the point. It's still the same quality as a dvd9, if not the convenience.
Personally, though, I don't have the rackspace anymore to keep around a laserdisc player that I would hardly use. If two-disk dvd versions were all that was available, I would get it. Luckily, it's not that way, and there are people hard at work making even better versions for us all to enjoy
even though u have all that space on the dual layer disc... dont forget that your only ever going to have Laserdisc quality....

Certainly there's a difference, one is analog and one is compressed digital. But most studio dvd's come from digitizing an analog source (film) and come out looking pretty good. With the amount of technology available even to most consumers (not to mention those who work in broadcast, nudge nudge) why do you think we can't do it too?
