	They have a new digital transfer from original masters now for the
60th Anniversary (1993).  It is a truely clean transfer, supposedly superior
to Criterion.  It will be available in both B&W and a bastardized colorized
version for $24.98 (a true bargain).  Sight and Sound lists these and I have
seen it in another LD catalog also.  The videocassettes were released at the
end of September, but there STILL hasn't been a LD release.  My question is:
Does anyone know when this will come out on LD?

That is wrong.    Laserdiscs started out as being 100% ANALOG>

Just because a disc is silver, shiny, and is read by a laser
does not make it digital.

The only digital on a laser disk is in the digital audio
soundtracks.

To encode digital video (oh how I wish) on an LD, would give us
loutess than

only about 5 minutes of video on a 12" disk.   Digital video
specs currently are approximately 14MB/sec - which without
compression could give about a minute on a 5" CD.

There was a full page ad in Billboard stating that Disney will be
releasing 4 videotapes...remastered for $19.99 each. All I can remember
was Tron and Flight of the Navigator. If Tron does well, maybe Disney
will get off their ass and release a letterboxed copy on laser disc.
Maybe this is a step in the right direction. Disney HAS to acknowledge a
following of the movie Tron or they wouldn't waste their time
remastering it. You don't see remastered versions of 'The Black Hole' do
you? (I liked that movie when I was 14.....)

Those punches to tell the projectionist that a reel change is coming are always
placed so that the projectionist can see them, and they indicate where somebody
at the lab figured the projectionist would see them.  The Director doesn't
place them, and they aren't necessarily a guide to where the image was supposed

Perhaps Stanley *wanted* you to notice the overhead lights.  The upper gridwork

Well, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was released partially letterboxed, and

	I don't know about a VHS release, but the November Sight and Sound
lists "Omen IV: The Awakening" as a soon-to-be-released laserdisc title (order
number 191980, $39.95).  This could mean that you have several months to wait,
but it should be out on LD soon.  Hope this helps.

By the way, their phone # is (617) 894-8633 and their price will be 10% off
the list price above.  Enjoy.

This is true and in fact you lose vertical resolution when going with
letterboxing.  However, you've already lost a huge amount going to video,
period.  The difference in resolution between letterbox and pan & scan is
trivial in that light.  On the other hand, the 100% resolution lost in the
cropped areas (as much as 50% of the picture) of p&s releases is just that,
100%.  I can't tell you how many times I've seen a film only p&s and then saw
the letterboxed version and said "wow" to myself.  In spite of the claim by
another person that letterboxing makes little difference for most films, I've
found that the exact opposite is true -- a big difference for most films. 
Anyway, let's not get into another one of these arguments....

LD#96: How is LaserDisc "analog"?                         Edition: 21 Jan 92
re: > In what way is the data on an LD not digital.  I agree that what

from a technical summary of LD to be written someday... 

Despite what the promoters of LD might allow you to believe, LD is not
digital video.  Is not always digital audio, either.  This is not surprising
considering that "LaserVision" is basically a 1972 technology.

There is a single track consisting of a continuous spiral of pits and
"lands" (non-pits).  Encoded on that track are the composite video
(luminance, chrominance, sync, info), two analog audio channels and a
RedBook-style stereo digital audio data stream complete with subcodes.
Side, track, time, frame and other control signals are encoded, during
pre-mastering, in both the RedBook subcodes (if present) and in
non-displayed scan lines in the vertical interval of the composite video
signal.

* The pre-mastered baseband composite video signal (about 4.2 MHz wide for
  NTSC) is used to modulate an FM carrier signal with a nominal frequency of
  8.5 MHz.  The amplitude of the NTSC signal deviates the FM carrier over
  the range 7.6 MHz (video sync tip) to 9.3 MHz (video white level).

* The two analog audio channels each modulate a preemphasized FM audio
  subcarrier (2.3Mhz 1/left, 2.8MHz 2/right).

* The RedBook-style digital audio bits are preemphasized and used directly.
  They represent a signal envelope with a bandwidth under 1.4 MHz.

* The three FM carriers (video, analog 1/L, 2/R) and the digital audio are
  all summed, then clipped.  The audio stuff is all attenuated 26dB before
  the summing.

The resulting clipped signal looks like square waves, and the low level, low
frequency components (analog and digital audio) cause a variation in +/-
duty cycle.  This signal is then more-or-less directly recorded as pits and
lands.

In over-simple terms, the video signal is represented by the center-to-
center pit spacing and the audio is represented in the difference between
pit/land length.

In its initial run, at least, it was shown in a big Cinerama house in
New York City.  I wasn't much aware of film technology in those days
but the presentation made an impact on me that I will never forget.
The image nearly filled my visual field.

I really like the way someone (apologies for not remembering the name)
put it: In Letterbox you have an X% loss of resolution over 100% of the
screen. In P&S, you have a _100%_ loss of resolution over X% (49% in the
case of a 2.35:1 movie) of the screen. Take your pick.

Agreed. Some movies were meant (by the director shooting the film) for
a wide screen. Some were not. Some, even, are made with a TV screen in
mind. As to WHICH movies are "best seen" in LBX/P&S... that's a matter
of personal taste, just the same as which movies you watch in the first
place.

they're behind schedule in ALL their projects, but I've been assured by

Super Panavision is 2.21:1 70mm (65mm negative). And that "Cinerama" in
the credits isn't really true -- it may have been shown on Cinerama
screens (e.g. the Uptown in DC) but it certainly wasn't filmed in Cinerama.

I'm not sure these are a perfect gauge as to where the upper-right corner
is. I've seen reel marks all over the right half of the screen. I think
these are put on by hand, so there may not be all that much accuracy.

There's no magic.

S-VHS tape is essentially a very high-grade VHS tape, packaged in a shell
having a sensing hole. You are pushing most VHS tape past the limit
if you use it for S-VHS. Careful examination, expecially in EP mode and
over time, will reveal increased noise and development of dropouts on
VHS tapes pushed past the limit.

For simple time-shifting, it's a great economical move.
