Kerry Decker TV Show: Laser Discs & CDs (1985)

	Duration: 10:54 minutes Upload Time: 07-04-12 12:16:35 User: KKD1247 :::: Favorites
Description: 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.

chessie93 ::: Favorites That Discovision Logo was From 1978. 07-08-02 11:22:51 _____________________________________________________
CassetteMaster ::: Favorites AWESOME and SOO COOL!! Was this recorded with U-Matic? 07-07-11 21:47:17 _____________________________________________________
KKD1247 ::: Favorites 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. 07-08-02 11:43:26 _____________________________________________________
swifty1969 ::: Favorites how times have changed, I still have a Panasonic dual side LD player and a handful of LD movies. 07-05-29 07:36:15 _____________________________________________________
tubeie07 ::: Favorites I would love you to post on Utube the CED videodisc demo as well please!!! 07-05-14 13:02:44 _____________________________________________________
KKD1247 ::: Favorites There is a demo of the RCA CED currently up on my "CES Show" program. Thanks! 07-05-14 14:08:48 _____________________________________________________

eyeh8cbs ::: Favorites Of course, none of the still-frame or slow-motion playback was usable on CLV discs, which most movies came in. The later players with digital technology finally let you still-frame and frame-advance. If you have the show on CED videodiscs please post it or send me a copy- I have EVERY consumer title issued on that format! 07-05-03 19:20:16 _____________________________________________________
KKD1247 ::: Favorites Sure...I'll have to dig for it but I'll try. Its been around 25 yrs ago and I'm not sure what was on it!!! But I'll look for you. Keep watchin! 07-05-04 00:29:42 _____________________________________________________
Intersonus903 ::: Favorites Do you know Tom Howe, by chance? 07-05-09 23:42:44 _____________________________________________________
KKD1247 ::: Favorites Sorry - no I don't. 07-05-14 14:06:56 _____________________________________________________
Intersonus903 ::: Favorites He runs the CEDMagic website, which has good information on the RCA CED format. There's also Blaine Oz who runs the BLAMLD website with good information on LaserDisc and DiscoVision. Great info. 07-05-14 16:13:36 _____________________________________________________
ProductionX ::: Favorites 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). 07-05-15 02:45:00 _____________________________________________________
videoholic2007 ::: Favorites LOVED the Magnavox videodisc Demo!! 07-04-12 17:36:18 _____________________________________________________
Intersonus903 ::: Favorites You should know, heheheh. BTW, that particular model is either the VH-8000 or the VH-8005; the distinction is the 8005 has a wireless remote. The 8000 was the first consumer LD player released in 1978. But, it wasn't very reliable and it pales against Pioneer's first offering, the VP-1000. I have a recording of the Leonard Nimoy demonstration of this player that I need to put up on YouTube! 07-04-19 00:31:00 _____________________________________________________
Intersonus903 ::: Favorites Holy smokes! The pictured MagnaVision is definitely a VH-8000. In fact, one of the first ones for sure since it has a VLP logo on the circular metal decal as opposed to the LaserVision logo found in newer iterations of this model. 07-04-19 00:35:31 _____________________________________________________
ProductionX ::: Favorites 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. 07-05-15 02:39:26 _____________________________________________________
videoholic2007 ::: Favorites 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 07-05-15 06:04:08 _____________________________________________________
