More highlights from my "NightLife Show" which ran on local cable TV in FL from 1980-1986. This condensed episode features a look at the beginnings of audio compact discs and video laser discs (which later evolved into DVDs). Kerry explains the process behind audio CDs and then Ray Glasser in Cleveland, OH shows the technology behind the original video laser discs. This 1985 program also shows the Magnavox laser disc player. At the time, this was all-new technology that would take over analog records and video tapes.
Air Date: January 18, 1985.

Love seeing you hold onto that DiscoVision disc personally (what title was that?). :-) Of course LD was the strongest in terms of longevity up to when DVD's showed up.

Being reminded, the DiscoVision intro doesn't show up entirely on later LD models also. I have a few of those discs myself in working condition I sometimes watch on my expensive Pioneer model (with the CLV pause/still-framing capabilities).

That was possibly "Jaws" which I had borrowed from a friend. (Still have the first 7 minutes of that movie on a Beta tape from laserdisc!) > Videoholic2007

Probably not. Since I was in a different location, it was most likely on a Beta or VHS master, then transferred & edited on 3/4" to be played on the air.

What do you think it was that killed the laserdisc?

Price! I have 200 or so laserdiscs and they're all priced from $40+ each..outrageous compared to BETA/VHS that had much cheaper prices. I want to get rid of my laserdiscs and I'll probably end up donating them. :(

I dont get it when people say Laserdisc was analoge and CD is digital, how does analoge work on a medium that is read by a laser, I just cant work it out.

That's what my Dad said, but why do they say analog if Laserdisc is digital?

It can be done they have laser LP players that use a laser instead of a needle

Being read by a laser doesn't mean that it have to be digital. Laserdiscs are analog.

Laserdiscs have a ... ( 1 month ago by kdx125XD)

Laserdiscs have a continuous spiral track made of pits and lands, in which is encoded the composite video (luminance, chrominance & Sync) and analog audio (one or two channels) using frequency modulation. It can have also a PCM digital audio track (redbook), or a DTS track, but the video is always analog.
