I have 5 RCA VideoDisc players.
I also have 400 discs.
None of the players work. The discs are OK and have the usual glitches.
My wife says that the discs are the best collection of movies that I
have. So I really need to get at least one of the "400" model machines
operational.
I also have a new "400" needle that I bought in the waning days of CED.
The main problems are (i)the machine will not "bight" the disc and
engage and (ii)the transport will not take the disc in.
Is there someone in the NY area who still know how to feed and care for
these cute dinosaurs?
Early adopters unite. You have nothing to lose but your money!

Subject: RE:CED Digest Vol. 2 No. 32
Since things seem kind of slow I'd like to open a topic for reader's
discussion. Which films do you think look better in CED than any other format?
Two that I would like to nominate are:
"The Quiet Man" (Republic's "digital" [expensive] anniversary edition on laser
looks dreadful. The colors are oversaturated and run together, while the CED
looks very nice.
"To Be or Not To Be" (The Benny/Lombard/Lubitsch version). VHS copies seem to
have been mastered from 16mm prints while the CED is sharp and clear.
Other films that looked terrible on laser originally (until they were replaced
with better transfers) include: "The Thing" (1951) and "She Wore a Yellow
Ribbon" (Pioneer definitely reproduced them from scratchy, incomplete 16mm
prints); "The Searchers" and "The Wild Bunch" (current letterboxed laser
editions are fantastic, but the pan & scans that were available for years did
not do their sources justice--and don't forget, it was RCA & CED that
originally restored "The Wild Bunch" to its director's cut).

I can now confirm that the same 'stutter' exists on my copy of the
movie. Pretty goofy. Don't have the movie on any other format, so
I don't know if it's unique to the CED.

Man, I hate pan & scan. Both easter eggs are ones you really gotta
be intent on finding. I still don't hear the Pac-Man sounds. :)

Just wondering which CEDs were released in the letterbox format
besides the few that are mentioned in the CED FAQ. Anyone?
(See my previous message for my opinion of pan & scan.)

Subject: Worst side break
A discussion previously about poor side breaks leads me to a movie I recently
watched 2001 A Space Odyssey. The side break between one and two occurs in
the middle of the ship landing on the moon in the middle of the "Blue Danube"
when the next scene is in the meeting room and would have been the perfect
place for a side break. In addition the side is only 36 minutes long and the
laser disc of the same vintage has the break as they are flying to the
monolith 12 min later and is also a good place for a break. Even more
unusual. The ending crescendo of the "Blue Danube" ends before the meeting
scene in the original laserdisc version, the Criterion version, the
letterboxed version, and the anniversary CAV version. In the CED version
(mono) the music is still ending as the photographer takes pictures.
Speaking of sound abnormalities. In "The Seven Year Itch" the syncing of
the voices to the characters speaking is all messed up especially in the
opening scene in the train station
Just some musings....
