2.5 Is laserdisc compatible with DVD?

No. Standard DVD players will not play laserdiscs, and you can't play a DVD
disc on any standard laserdisc player. (Laserdisc uses analog video, DVD
uses digital video; they are very different formats.)

However, Pioneer produces combo players that play laserdiscs and DVDs (and
also CDVs and audio CDs). Denon and Samsung are rumored to have LD/DVD
players in the works also.
