Plus, Pioneer took over LaserDisc in 1980-1981, predating "Balto" by over a decade.

What?
Videodisc is a general name meaning a disc containing video and audio and doesn't specify the manner which it'd work. With that in mind, DVD-Video and Blu-Ray Disc are forms of videodisc.
MCA Videodisc existed because they released product on LaserDisc and CED. It wouldn't make much sense if "MCA LaserDisc" released "needlevision" titles.
LaserDisc was Pioneer's trade name for the LaserVision videodisc system, formerly known as DiscoVision by MCA and VLP by Philips.

In a manner of speaking, yes, but technically, no.
"Balto" would have been released under the MCA/Universal Home Video name.
MCA Videodisc and MCA Videocassette ended up being MCA Home Video in the early-mid 1980s.
MCA Home Video would become MCA/Universal Home Video in the late 1980s-early 1990s.
In the mid 1990s, it became Universal Home Entertainment; the MCA byline was dropped after MCA's acquisition by Seagram's.

I bet it would be cool to have one of these laser disc video machines.

It's not bad. I have six machines, though. Five of them are Pioneer. Three of them are relatively high end (CLD-3070, CLD-59, CLD-79), one is an oldie (LD-660) and one is rather unique (CLD-A100 + PAC-S10).
One doesn't work (Sony MDP-605).

This is pretty cool. Looks like something from the late 70s early 80s.
neinsudtexas10 2 years ago
Definitely early 1980s.

These bumpers can be seen on any laserdisc with the MCA Videodisc packaging and on some early MCA Home Video releases from 1983 like Halloween III, American Werewolf in London, My Tutor, etc. Just look for the icon on the corner with the rainbow background with Laser Videodisc on it.
