Movies on vinyl!
MaineEvent:
I am still researching these online and getting more and more into them....Definitely a new thing to keep an eye out for at second hand stores and stuff, what do you think the chances of finding a functional player are?
Would love to have some classics I grew up with like Teen Wolf and Ghostbusters on CED.
Thanks for the post RayB!

i saw this online a few months ago and fell in love with it sure it's old tech but thats why it's awesome.
The quality isn't bad depending on the player there was a website that explained all the diff models and how the rca came out in stereo etc it's an interesting machine and bit of tech.
There are some good youtube clips of the system and the demo disc that was used for instore/home use

We had a video disc player in the early 80s and it was awesome. I remember going to a store called "Video Concepts" in a local mall and renting discs. I started with Escape from Alcatraz, but quickly found Goldfinger and other Bond movies. I had Lord of the Rings, but it ended after the battle of Helm's Deep. It always pissed me off that I didn't have Return of the King.
We also did have Tron on video disc. It had a little glitch in the disc as it paused for 3 or 4 seconds in the same spot every time. It was when Flynn diverted the energy on the solar sailor so they could avoid Sark.

Ah the Animated LOTR, watching that you can see how the movie was a direct lift from it with the same dialogue and camera angles.
I had one of these players, the remote was corded to the machine but at the time it was pretty futuristic. Mel Brooks History of the world part 1 being the most watched film I had for it. Seemed like there was quite a bit of cheesy soft core porn availble for the system too. I do remeber sometimes it would start skipping but a thump on the top of the unit normally sorted it, that or removing the stylus section and blowing the dust off.

Being the youngest I always got 'thump duty' when it would skip. I remember we had Marx Bros - A Night at the Opera and a bunch of Star Trek episodes that we watched ALL the time...Also, History of the World Part I was a regular. At one point, there were 2-3 local video shops that rented the discs, but when they started selling off their inventory to make room for more VHS and laserdiscs we bought up a bunch. I have no clue what happened to all that old stuff.
