Don't know don't have that one on Laserdisc but considering the frame by frame resto on the image and reshot at 8k resolution then scanned down to 1080p and then going through the audio and converting it to a superb 7.1 Lossless audio track I tend to think the Bluray is a tad better than the laserdisc.
Unless you were being a smartass than I'll just say.......

Of course I was being a smartass. I could not care less about dead formats. BD is the current standard and Im looking forward. Sure, there is a small handful of titles that may sound a little better on DVD but its the exception. I'm not advocating double dipping. To me that only makes sense for your most favorite titles that you'd watch over and over.
We've been down this road before. DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD are authentic and accurate reproductions of the original soundtrack - exact duplicates of the director's intent as offered in the theatrical release. There is no creative or artistic license given to Dolby or DTS to add sound effects or artificially enhance those effects, as DTS did with the DVD release of Master & Commander.DIYer said:
Interesting observation from someone. Link
"if I never heard the DVD version I'd be thoroughly impressed. But after doing back to back comparisons I think if you are an LFE lover the DVD is the way to go"
Sounds like the first impression plays a big role. Hmmm..., where have I heard that... :think:

My issue was PQ.............
Understanding that PQ and AQ on new Blu Rays will be optimum is great and I really need to re-think picking up older releases on BR and double dipping on older released DVD's that I already own.
I have approx. 150 DVD Concerts in my collection and have double dipped on 3. I will have to look real hard at this also.

Video quality of concert videos, especially "older" ones is almost always a crap shoot. Video depends a lot on light levels and the quality of the equipment used to shoot them. A crappy source film (lower resolution, poor ligting, lots of video noise) wont look much better on BD than it will on DVD or even VHS.
Hence my earlier 'crap shoot' comment.heeman said:
There's no guarantee that, just because something is available on BD, it's going to be vastly superior. Sometimes you get lucky; sometimes you don't.
Take 'The Rock' for instance. That movie - on BD - looks like it was filmed yesterday using the latest and greatest high-def cameras. And as Matt and Scott alluded to, Jaws is another example of outstanding video transfer. Sadly though, those are more the exception than the norm.

That all depends on your equipment's ability to up convert 480p to 720-1080p. It's much easier for equipment to down convert (eliminate lines of resolution 1080p to 480 - 720p) than it is to up convert (interpolate/add lines of resolution, 480p to 1080p).
Be selective in choosing the disc you replace. A quick search online will give you some idea whether or not it worth the price of admission.

I frequently use Blu-ray.com to see what their reviewers have to say about a particular disc's audio/video quality before I buy it.
