       What's wild to me is that LaserDisc didn't digitize the video signal - it was FM-encoded composite NTSC or PAL, with a PCM digital audio signal slapped on top.

       @ashfurrow last time I tried to understand analog signal processing I went half-mad like in an HP Lovecraft storyI think that's why they didn't want to mess with it much and just ship the signals as-is :D

       @brion video encoding constantly pulls this kind of stuff – HDMI still specifies a blanking interval lol

       @ashfurrow @brion I once had a chance encounter, in a Costa Mesa hotel lounge, with one of the developers of NTSC. We had an interesting, to me at least, conversation.
