CAV LDs are in 800x600 which is better than DVDs 720x480...Plus DVDs have very ugly block noise and rainbow artifacts due to MPEG2 compression sometimes...LDs never have that crap because they arent compressed, DVDs are pressed at 10cents each, LDs are burned and cost 10 bucks each to manufacture, DVDs have commercials in them like VHS tapes, LDs DO NOT, DVDs have Macrovision and Region protection, LDs DO NOT, DVDs cut things from the movie even in Directors Cut DVDs ie. Aliens, where as LDs DO NOT, some movies like Akira, Aladdin, Near Dark, Star Wars Special Editions 4, 5, and 6. among others are ONLY on LD and not even on DVD. etc...etc.... (I could go on and on all day) LaserDiscs are still the way to watch movies....DVDs are small pathetic crap, most of the time, Resident Evil is however, THE clearest DVD I have seen to date on my Pioneer DVD player....
