Laserdisc Rare
Was LaserDisc any good in its’ time?
A couple of my friends’ homes had LD players but none of us really watched them much since movies were either rare or very spendy. I heard you had to flip them at some point unless you had a super primo model that cost way more than a usual player. That and those discs were as big as a record, and you know how tough it can be to keep any disc in playable shape.
What about the LD sides? When you got to the end, did the picture lurch and the audio go all wiggety? I think it’d be tough to have a side not end right in the middle of a movie’s scene. Then for the deluxe models that auto-flipped did they buck and stutter a few seconds while it flipped?
Until DVDs came along, laser discs were the best picture you could get with home video (better than VCRs) – but you couldn’t record on them, and they were more expensive than tapes.
