LaserDisc

thumb LaserDisc (LD) is a home video format and the first commercial optical disc storage medium. It was developed by Philips, Pioneer, and the movie studio MCA, and was initially licensed, sold, and marketed as DiscoVision in the United States in 1978. The discs typically have a diameter of 300 mm 1 us, similar in size to the 12 in 0 on phonograph record. Unlike most later optical disc formats, LaserDisc is not fully digital; it stores analog video signals. Quotes It is a joy to me that children whose parents are in their thirties or forties become aware that I am in some of the Godzilla films when they see them on VHS tape or laserdisc. Children often point and say, "Hey, it's Uncle Godzilla!" when they see me. It's very heartwarming.
