Anybody remember these? You had a disk the size of an old LP record and had to turn it over half way through, lol. Picture was not bad, i still got one but i think it's broken (can't remember it's been so long) Only got 3 disks (The Warriors)(An Eye For An Eye) and some Kevin Keegan training school.

I also used to have this crazy machine that you inserted what looked like an actual old LP vinyl record and it had what looked like some futuristic stylus which touched the disk and produced a picture. lol still got a load of the films but don't know what happened to the player?

I have the smaller version in loft. I think it was phillips cd-i not 100% used to play the old vcds on it and played games. weirdly it looks like a ps3 but grey lol.

I have a laserdisc collection of about 140 discs

CD-i and Laserdisk were very different mate. The CD-i was a console that played CD's.

I always wanted a Laserdisk system but my mum bought us a Philips V2000 VCR instead, stupid women!

@ Dar1437, what was this vinyl video disc, that sounds crazy.

OMG, was this it?

see im still young, hence why I got them mixed up :p

I had this top-of-the-range one ...

Scroll down to the Champagne Gold Europian version
Pioneer DVL-909

There was another way of storing videos on CD before the VCD format, and was about just before the Philips CD-i. IIRC you could only store 5 mins of video on there so most of them were music videos but I think it could be used as a normal audio CD too (I think the problem was that only the inside of the disk could be read due to speed problems). Errr actually I just found it ... CD Video - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ;-) Can't believe I remember that crap !

Apparent they are still big in japen and still producing media for it.

I remember star trek TNG being released on it, it was a couple hundred quid for the entire box set.

Thats the one! lol



Re Video2000, if i'm not mistaken you could turn the tape over like an audio casette?

Sold my player last year when money was tight but still have my discs.
