Jim Leonard | This is what extreme laserdisc rot looks and sounds like @JimLeonard | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 4 minutes ago.
"Laser rot" occurs when the adhesive between two laserdisc sides breaks down, and oxidizes the aluminum layer that contains the actual video and audio content. The damage is irreversible, and is an issue for video archivists. There are processes such as NeatVideo and iZotope RX that can help, but there is no way to fully reverse the damage.
The laserdisc shown in this example was produced by IBM for their internal training for the 4700 communications system. It was never a commercially-available retail disc.
