I'm looking for a Hi-Vision Muse JVC MD2 GOLD MINT.
Anyone wants to sell any one in MINT condition?
I'm looking for the Back to the Future Trilogy in MINT condition, E.T in
MINT condition and also Close Encounters of Third Kind in MINT condition.
Anyone wants to sell any of those?

I am also looking for the Back to the Future MUSE Trilogy and it
doesn't have to be MINT. Will pay cash or exchange for other MUSE discs
from my inventory that shows on:

e-mail).

Why? Just for its collector value, or does it look better than the
dvd?

Hi-Vision is 1080i, so I'd think it would look much better than DVD...

During horizontal pans, the sampling methods use drop the resolution by
50% and not in a way that the eye forgives.

Ah ha!... I guess that's why there are those Muse "nature" LDs that
have very little horizontal pans!

I'm not sure that I get your joke, but the maximum useful work that a
system can provide (like a battery, for example) is the change in Gibbs
free energy... So, why isn't that a "win"? Maybe, I'm missing
something with your .sig.

As far as golf goes, I heartily agree -- one aggravating bugger of a
game, yet extremely addictive.

Hello!

How about "Alaska", is starts with a slow horizontal pan... how does it
look?

I understood that fast action scenes where everything moves around also
had to switch back to half-resolution but the "canyon speedboat" from
the "Test Disc" looks damn good to me!

Regards,
Julien

If the pan rate is near or above 2 pixels per field, the sampling method
yields 1/2 resolution at best. This is an example of analog compression.

I think if you check the specs, Hi-Vision LD is not really 1080i in
the strictest sense of the term.. It's pre-digital, so it quotes the
analog scanlines, including all the non-picture stuff (a la NTSC being
525 and PAL 625, versus their digital counterparts 480i and 576i). The
actual quoted number is something like 1135 or so. I will be
corrected, because that's probably not quite right, and I can't be
bothered to check at the moment.

Hello,

It's 1125 actually. Close!
