Friend of mine had one. Very annoying. The video was not very stable at all. But yes, it is a "record player" that reproduces video. The major problmes with it manifest themselves from the high spin rate and very very narrow track width (both of which are needed to get the bandwidth to support video and for a somewhat decent length for each side to play)
The angry video game nerd did a review of this format (as well as many other old formats) awhile back but he never got into any technical details. Neat yes, but a trivial technology.
MaineEvent:
Wow, I've never seen anything like that! Very retro...I'd love to get in my Delorean and pick one up in 1983.
But really, I'd love a CED player just to see first hand what it's like. Any good titles released on CED?
danny_galaga:
I read about CED a little while back. RCA spents decades working on it, dragging their feet all the way. So no surprise it was totally redundant by the time it went to market! But for techno geeks like us, the whole idea is freaking awesome!
Mikezilla:
Kind of off topic, well, totally off topic... Laserdiscs suck. I dropped Terminator 2 taking it out of the player and it shattered like glass when I was a kid. My dad almost beat me cause the thing cost 50 bucks. Stupid lame formats. We had 3 laserdisc movies...T2, Robocop(my personal favorite) and Total Recall.
Just some random facts for ya. :laugh:
