What are your feelings about the future of the Pioneer/MGA LaserDisc
format? I have just purchased a Proton video monitor (good stuff)
and am considering purchasing a LaserDisc player in order to get
software up to par with the resolution of the monitor. There also
seem to be a better selection of classical opera on this format.
On one hand, with the absence of the RCA CED format, one might
think that the LaserDisc have a chance. On the other hand,
my perception is that videotape machines are becoming so overwhelmingly
successful that they will swamp any chance to the LaserDisc to
succeed. I don't want to be saddled with an player for a discontinued
medium. (I have a VCR already.)
