Japanese 'Jim Henson Hour' Laserdiscs

[BlueFrackle]

We've recently discovered that the Japanese laserdiscs of 'Monster Maker', 'Dog City', 'Song of the Cloud Forest', 'Living with Dinosaurs' and 'Secrets of The Muppets' that were released in the early 90's are actually COMPLETE episodes of 'The Jim Henson Hour'!

Before now it was believed that they were just releases of the specials, like the recent DVDs. All of the audio is Japanese, but nothing else is changed.

If anyone has ANY of these please post - We have Dog City!

Wow, that is pretty cool! Who knows, if we are realy just now finding out about his, there might be even more we don't know!

Does anyone know if there is any possible way to convert it from laserdisc to DvD? i know that lasediscs are huge, but is there a way?

 

[BlueFrackle]

yes there is a way!

 

[Lola p]

awsome, this could be a huge gain for fans. Do you know for sure if they have subtitles?

 

[BlueFrackle]

Im 99% sure that they don't have subtitles

 

[Lola p]

ok,that might be a problem. But still, it will be a good colector's item.

 

[BlueFrackle]

It's better without subtitles, that means that you have a great picture and all that needs changing is the audio!

 

[Lola p]

True, But how do we change the audio?

I think he means there's British/Japanese audio, but not subtitles. But then again, I've no idea what a laserdisk even is.
