1997 Toshiba DVD demo segment

From the 2-sided "Toshiba DVD Gallery" disc. Always thought it was funny how they promote this as a "unified format" and then messed up the industry's transition to HD with a format war between Blu-Ray and its inferior HD-DVD format.

I had this copy of Toshiba dvd demo I like the main menu as the waterfall drop. Looks awesome.

You don’t have it anymore? I have most of the early demo discs, have been putting them up here since I’ve been able to do them with 5.1 sound. Only disc I know of that I’m missing is the RCA one, would pay big money even for a burned copy.

Bullshit! DVDs get ruined by scratches.

And disc rot. It's nowhere near as common on DVDs as it was on Laserdiscs, but disc rot can still be a problem for some DVDs

I want a dvd player. Where can I buy one

[@cabalenproductions6480]

ebay at this point. The stores in my area stopped selling DVD player and put SmartTV's in its place.

What was DSS?

[@TheMediaHoarder]

Digital Satellite System AKA DirecTV. That always looked awful to me and nothing on it was worth paying for.
