the only good point about DVD Between Laserdisc is : 1- the movie is used one side disc without change the face for seing the next chapter 2- it's smaller 3- we can used more multiplexed audio channel for multilingale ( on LD it was difficult to found disc with the original version and the dubbed version especialy in europe) 4- now we can record it try with a laserdisc XD with just 45 min of picture on each side. i agree that LD was cool back then but unafordable for many people because of price
LOL. They claim that DVD has CD-quality audio when it is barely used to save up space with a compressed AC3 2.0 track. CD-quality audio was already mandatory in most Laserdiscs made after 1985, and by DVD having better resolution than Laserdisc really means it has 55 more lines than LD. Yet, Dolby Digital debuted on LD in 1995, and DTS came to LD when DVD came out. You think this ad mentions DTS? And those two Panasonic models would be outdated by the new millenium. And now we have Blu-ray.
RkivUnderground Well, granted DVD did/does heavily on lossy Dolby and DTS, but PCM is part of DVD's spec, both in 2.0 and 5.1. Stereo PCM is fairly common on music and concert DVDs.
Also DVD's variant of DTS wasn't quite finalized by the time the format first arrived, but the following year several second gen players supported bitstreamed DTS.
it's kind of amusing that this promo video incorrectly explains the DVD acronym as standing for 'digital video disc'. shouldn't that be 'digital versatile disc'? lol.
1996 was release date in Japan internationally it was Spring 1997
