In Reply to: From laserdisc? Hmmmm... That might actually be appealing - thanks! (nm) posted by Patterson on April 07, 2001 at 19:56:43:

I don't know if they are selling on web sites. I only saw them in HK, and it was last summer that I had a trip to visit my friend there. He did have a set, and they were made from Laser Disc in wide screen, with selectible captions. My friend tried to get a set for me, but never get luck. I believe they can still be found in Shen-Zhen, China where them were made.

: : : Are the technical claims accurate, i.e. are these really ss and 5.1 digitally mastered DVD's, or just cd's burned from a vcr?

: : : Thanks!
