Re: Which ultimately is the better quality format, laserdisc or DVD?

DVD is recorded in a progressive format and is available as a component signal. These two features alone make it in therory
a much better format. Using a line doubler or other such toys does help when using a LD. The poor old LD is recorded as a composite signal. This can smooth out some of the errors and noise though. The audio on a good DVD kills the LD. But as always, Garbage in Garbage out. I just got the SuperBit "Fifth Element". If you think a LD could look and sound this good Ive got a bridge I'd like to sell ya..:-) I master DVDs for my production
company and there are some artifacts with DVD I hate. But you can't compare it to Satalite compresion and certainly not to VHS.
