I fought video for years at my school, but when we bought a high quality laserdisc player and projection system, I found that the final results on screen were close to 16mm visually and the sound was superior. It also allowed far better access for analysis later with laser disc's ability to instantly retrieve a scene or shot. In many cases the visuals on the laser disc are superior to that on many of the poor quality 16mm film rentals we used to get. In times of tight budgets, it is a necessary not so evil.
