Dusty Chalk Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 So I'm seeing this, and I'm thinking to myself -- you know, I've been meaning to (ahem) laserdrop my laserdisks. Talk me down? Talk me up (I.E. should I go all the way to 1080p)? Do whut now? This coming from someone who has immediately fallen in love with blu-ray -- I may not know shit about this stuff, but I know what I like.

grawk Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 You don't need high res to rip laserdisc, that's 480i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Whut? I thought it was analog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 It's analog, sure. But it's also ntsc, so it only has 240 lines of resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Laserdisc had more than 400 lines. It was much higher quality than VHS and VHS was in the 200s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 It was higher quality, but it was still PAL or NTSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manaox2 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 It was higher quality, but it was still PAL or NTSC. For some reason, all I think of when you say that is 60fps or 29.97 deinterlaced for NTSC or 25fps for PAL internally. What does frame rate have to do with the resolution?
