Only one side of the LaserDisc had anything on it - the other was always blank. (Not like there was anyone there to flip the disc when it was done playing the first side!)

On another note, I'm going to be leaving tomorrow, so I look forward to talking to you guys when I get back!
Arix,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I believe the second side had more material. I watched the entire 60 minutes worth and some of the footage that you listed on your YouTube did not show up on the uploaded video. For instance, the Coneheads/Last Action Hero special pricing for $2.99 was not in the video. The reason you couldn't tell is that the Pioneer LD player has the ability to automatically switch to the other side of the disc. If you go onto YouTube and type in LaserDisc, there are several videos showing the several types of mechanisms that LD players had to switch sides. If you are like me, I found it to be very interesting.

Thanks,
Steven.

You're welcome! More will be up soon. BTW, is there any chance of getting the entire footage of "Sneak Prevue" from the other 2 Laserdiscs (May, 1994 and February, 1997) to be put online, like for example "Megaupload"? It would be a pleasure to see those, compare to the clips on YouTube.

That was on the May, 1994 Edition of "Sneak Prevue", which I've yet to see the rest of the footage if that's happens. Even though, Ari did claim that there wasn't anything on Side 2, which possibly I think their might be. Otherwise, it's just Side 1 only. I find it strange because looking at that picture of the Laserdisc, the dates seems to be claiming that this was only used within a few weeks in a month until the next one is produced.

Once again, special thanks to Ari for getting the entire footages from those Laserdisc that he found and purchase on ebay! They were extremely rare and hard to find!

Hey Steven,

That is definitely not the case - all of the videos I uploaded to YouTube were from the same video files that I re-encoded and uploaded to MegaUpload/RapidShare. Maybe the video you're thinking of is from Bolt96's LaserDisc and not mine? Also, I'm pretty sure my LaserDisc player (the LD-V8000) cannot automatically read both sides of a disc.

It's been a while now since I last I mention this, but any luck on finding a website that will hold the entire footages of the 2 "Sneak Prevue" Laserdiscs, that would be available to download? Sorry I asked this, I understand that you've been busy as much as I am. I just want to take some to see them, before September since I would be leaving pretty soon to work!

Sorry man. I've been on vacation in California for these past few weeks. I'll be getting back next week so I should be able to do it then.
