    Maybe in the US/Canada, but recently a French judge ruled otherwise on fim copy-protection limiting backup copies...! http://www.videobusiness.com/comment...10440&catID=13 Regards, Julien

    Cracked Laserdisc Rare Please Help Fix???

    Seller sent me a very unfriendly: Well, I happen to have in my collection a sealed copy of this release (missing the US extra track): Depeche Mode: Some Great Videos (1986) [BVLP-97] http://LDDb.com/laserdisc.php?id=27901 But I'm not sure the price I want for it is in line with your...

    As a compensation, all LDDb Sellers will soon have access to my personal eBay DTS LDs statistics for the past 3 years. Best tool to price things at their current worlwide market value! Regards, Julien

    Cracked Laserdisc Rare Please Help Fix???

    Since about 10 hours, a mistyping in a SQL query... that I can't fix from Office. I'll fix it first thing this evening in Japan (morning in the USA). Let's call that a 16 hours "maintenance" (although I wish I could have spotted that earlier!) Sorry for the inconvenience. Regards, Julien

    Cracked Laserdisc Rare Please Help Fix???

    Hello, Got a reply from the Seller, I would like to check what he calls "well-packaged". Could you take a pic of the packing and sent it to me? He doesn't really care wether I delete him from LDDb or not. Given this story and the crazy prices he has in Shop (basically he must be buying LDs...

    Cracked Laserdisc Rare Please Help Fix???

    Hello again, It's strange you couldn't buy anything after exactly 48 hours on LDDb. It could only mean that the Email address you used there bounced and was declared "invalid", but it's not. Your account was created April, 21st and you never tried to log in again since then (access counter is...

    Cracked Laserdisc Rare Please Help Fix???

    Hello, Just got the story after a referral link showing from my access logs on LDDb.com. First of all, the user maintaining this Shop hasn't logged on LDDb.com for the past 97 days. Also he updated his Email address there last October, I'll send you both via PM. Second, I'll remove...

    Laser disc - did you sell them or keep them?

    I'll probably do it when I'll finally leave Japan (again!) to my X9 for safety. Seems like Pioneer is keeping service and spare part for 10 years after discontinuing LD manufacturing. They stopped in 2002, that means support in Japan until 2012. I think they still have to support a wide...

    Laser disc - did you sell them or keep them?

    Ouch... so you notice everything? :) Basically I spent 2 week-ends visiting Japan and 2 weeks in Bangkok for the new year festival this month, so -> not many new things. And when I came back more than 200 updates were waiting for me! The shop development is still on going (I'm not happy...

    Laser disc - did you sell them or keep them?

    Hello Greg, X9 are not easy to find and it seems that there is a cyclic rythm in their availability on the second hand market. Sometimes you will find 2 or 3 X9 at the same time, then nothing more for weeks. Currently none (not even on Yahoo Auctions Japan), the LD-S9 are coming back, and...

    Laser disc - did you sell them or keep them?

    Actually the definition of "black" on LD was different in US and in Japan. That might explain the difference. But I agree that, for quality pressing, Kurary is the best. Last Pioneer Japan also ranked high in quality. Rgds, Julien

    HD-LD, or Hi-Vision MUSE Laserdisc to give it its proper name: Where do I find them?

    I could play a bit with my new X9 tonight and I have to say that the output is better than the S9. It's difficult to quantify, I need to make some A/B test between the S9 and the X9 on the same LD (if have some titles twice). The X9 picture look ways more stable, a DVD-like stability. The...

    HD-LD, or Hi-Vision MUSE Laserdisc to give it its proper name: Where do I find them?

    Yes, each model has a manufacturing year/month clearly indicated. One more reason to go PIONEER for LD Player is that they will have spare part and repair service for 10 years after they discontinued the last model (that makes 8 years left). Probably because they have to maintain a huge...

    HD-LD, or Hi-Vision MUSE Laserdisc to give it its proper name: Where do I find them?

    Well, everytime someone links LDDB.com from a newsgroup/forum/web page and later click on it, it triggers a hit in my stats history so that I can see what people are talking about :) A free X0, that awfully nice! Lucky you, you already got the uncompressed SONY MUSE reader for almost nothing...

    HD-LD, or Hi-Vision MUSE Laserdisc to give it its proper name: Where do I find them?

    Both X0 and X9 are expensive. X9's from 1996 can be found between $2000 and $2400 depending on original box availability, remote control (lack of), manual, etc. X9's from a more recent batch quickly sky rocket to more than the original MSRP of $3500. X0 are worst, starting at $3800 for old...

    HD-LD, or Hi-Vision MUSE Laserdisc to give it its proper name: Where do I find them?

    I hesitated for a long time before choosing between the CLD-R7G and the LD-S9 but I liked the "LD Only" capability of the S9 and the 3D Y/c Filter not on the R7G. I sold back my CLD-R5 when I got the S9, my current list is then: HLD-X9 main MUSE/NTSC player LD-S9 backup NTSC player...

    HD-LD, or Hi-Vision MUSE Laserdisc to give it its proper name: Where do I find them?

    Hello, "Julien WILK" here (referenced earlier on this thread). I will soon be able to read HiVision LDs (I bought a HLD-X9 today, it will be delivered next wednesday) but won't be able to watch them as I have no MUSE decoder. And I have only one HiVision anyway (Chaplin) and haven't...
