@MIKON8ERISBACK Actually CD was developed from laser-disc which came out 4 years before the CD did.
-
laser disc was too big wont no way anybody woulda wanted to have movies in that format
-
This was in 1985? That means Maltin reported this 2 years before Siskel & Ebert focused on it.
-
This will NEVER catch on...

This proves that the concept of mimicking CD technology for video playback is not exactly a new thing. I think what they're talking about is digital error correction and electronic film restoration made possible by computer technology.

@Kev50027 Casio invented the handheld LCD TV, did they not?! I paid a premium for one with TFT thin Film Transister. Anyway, I hope you are joking. I owned that same AMDEK-1 Color monitor, it was my graduation gift in 86 and served many years affectively, it's a Hitachi picture tube behind the plastic casing, I know for a fact. It was used composite video exclusively but worked well. I did not own a TV before that. My first was a $200 console that was 25 inch, and 32 inch, for both CRT and HDTV

@kaiban42 They aren't, but most studios took up the needed effort, You see films being documented AS they are being made these days, and that makes the DVD release

I found probably the first ET airing on LaserDisc, it's without audio so if you know where the audio version is, link it to mine. Criterion was the first to do Annotated material for LaserDisc aimed at film buffs and film preservation, and ultimately proper HOME THEATRE, which is what I keep stressing since young kids make fun of a 12 inch video disc, and myself in the process of just promoting it's importance

Great video! Just goes to show how Laserdisc enthusiasts were enjoying for decades the things that DVD and Blu-ray users are now enjoying!

deja vu.
i guess it explains why criterion is releasing so few bluray disks... they are still printing laserdiscs.
