To my astonishment it was not encoded in the usual compressed format (to pack it on a single disk). It comes on a 2 disk set and permits all those wonderful effects like freeze frame, forward and reverse scan, searching, etc. The price is a little steep (@$60) but I think its worth it. Most of the movies on laser disk are of the compressed variety which takes away most of the special features of the laser disk. I only wish some of the Star Wars epics were available in this format. Anybody know of any other movies/video's on disk that might be fun/interesting to watch using the special laser disk features??
