Technically AC-3 wasn't digital on laserdisc.

Yes it was, it used a FM carrier as the transport for the data. IIRC, the data rate was 384 kbps.

Yeah but the actual encoding format for AC-3 on laserdisc was analog. DTS used the digital tracks exclusively.

There is no such thing as analog AC-3. They sacrificed an analog track to carry the digital bit stream.

You, sir, are correct.

Just adding my $0.02 that this disc is fantastic!

Watching this disc, it it as a 14.99 impulse buy from BB. The first 10 min or so has enough grain to feed the world. I don't mind grain of that was the intent, but this seems really grainy.

Once again, best way I have ever seen a flick. Audio was good too, and there are some real good HDR effects around the 25 minute to go mark when the ships break up in space and are on fire.
