- I presume that "LoA" is "Lawrence of Arabia". The RCA w/s LOA was made from
- the same video and audio masters that Criterion used, so the RCA LD doesn't
- have the usual RCA/Columbia annoyances. However, I have heard that the RCA
- LD has no chapter marks and may not have the same side breaks. I have the
- Criterion CLV edition (which is also of 3M manufacture - I don't know about
- the RCA, but it is likely PVI).
