Really? Analog vs. digital is the determining factor of whether a format will degrade or not? Try magnetic vs. optical. Laserdisc is still analog but doesn't degrade due to repeated playback, while digital audio and video tape formats do.

I could be wrong but I believe LaserDisc does not work by encoding binary data onto a disc. I believe it's an analog signal not a digital binary signal that is encoded onto LaserDisc whereas DVDs and CDs do use digital binary data

it makes me sad how fast vhs disappeared. i was born riight before the end of the 90's so by the time i was like 10 vhs was already considered ancient. - i'd pay a lot of money to restore those dusty overwatched tapes.

Totally tricked me with the little buffering gag, I had to rewind several times to make sure it was real then I felt silly because of the obvious context. Nice show, nice editing

LOL Have you ever seen the Movie Tropic Thunder? One of the characters talks about Blue ray vs. HD-DVD As they are walking through the jungle. This was in 2008

Stop calling it 4k when it's only 3. 84k. It's misleading and you're only furthering the misleading of the public when you go along with it.

I hate to join the conga-line of pedantic comments, but laserdisc was analog not digital. They degraded similarly to vhs as a result.

This video got a lot wrong about DVDs. Everyone knows DVD stands for Dubbed Video. Dub. And they look a lot like VHS tapes.

Sooo. we're not going to mention how the porn industry was instrumental in driving the demand for VCR and Camcorder development?
