My apologies—I forgot I was working on the Videodisc article, and not the SelectaVision one. :-P I'll fix it later, as I'm too tired right now. I will note (again) that it was a word-for-word copy from here: http://www.ericfacility.net/databases/ERIC_Digests/ed270103.html

The above referenced article is a public domain article produced by the US government. It is OK to copy it here. LarryQ 13:58, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

General Article Question

What do the dates next to the format names signify? They don't appear to be the date of invention, and they're certainly not the date of public release of the first players or media. They're not labeled, so I can't hazard a guess. Here are a couple of online references for RCA SelectaVision and MCA DiscoVision. (Rename the links if you use them as references.)

I think that mentions of Video CD & Movie CD formats should be removed from this article.

Look subj.

Terror of the Autons - death of McDermott in a plastic chair

[1] - this scene is widely reported to have been filmed using "Videodisc" to produce a reverse action image without tracking marks. However none of the formats on this article for up to 1970 sound particularly promising for what was done here. Any ideas? Romomusicfan (talk) 13:49, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is confusing: why confine the term to analog?

The lead section of this article contradicts itself. It specifies and confines the term videodisc to purely analog media. Then in the end it gives examples of purely digital formats like DVD and Blu-ray.

Also, the notable LaserDisc had analog video and digital (or analog) audio and was officially referred to as videodisc. ~2025-33200-58 (talk) 06:27, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
