The Things People Throw Away

[Firebird]

I found a theater that uses 70 millimeter film. They thought that they could make us all buy a plastic picture frame and hang it on the wall.Till it fell off anyway. The world has become a very greedy place.

You guys want to know what I really think?
Digitization of old programme material is bullshit, pure and simple.
1. If it was digital in its original form. then it is fine to display that 'sampled' content in the digital realm.
2. Any content originally recorded in the analogue realm, shall persist in that realm, whether the corporations like it or not.

It is up to the VTR/tape/vidicon camera/CRT guys to maintain a healthy library of " REAL " content.
Same goes for HIFI Audio...
digital will never suffice versus grooved media and magnetic tape.

If I truly appreciated PCM audio and DVD video at first, I would NEVER want to be in the a/v community today.
Thanks,

Good thing that a lot of us have our "specialties", we can cover more bases that way. I'm glad I'm not what one would call an audiophile because that is one expensive hobby. Best to let those with the necessary means take care of that. In regards to audio, I'm pleased with 8-tracks. Someone has to be.

I like 8 tracks too. Also, have to agree with digitization crap. I think it would be nice too if they could have left things they way they were.

I wish the VHS distributers thought this way!!!

Many VHS movies have been RE-ISSUED and "Digitally" altered and look/sound like crap!!

I am very grateful to have found as many as I have that havent been digitally changed....... Seems like they are going out of thier way to destroy better analog media and its very sad....

What exactly do you mean?

This thread makes me happy that I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I could EASILY have all the major electronics and appliances I'd ever need from the trash and thrift stores. I'd traditionally say except for modern game consoles, but it's come to the point where even those are so disposable that I could find them without too much trouble.
