CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

And the best they could do was link to someone’s YouTube video of a commercial rather than uploading their own copy from a master tape?

I've compared some discs that have "NEW MASTER" enscribed on them with the ones of the same title that don't, and haven't noticed any difference. I haven't been obsessive enough to hold onto ...

These are among the "Extremely Rare" titles. There were a few non-consumer applications for the format before the plug was pulled mainly which took advantage of the random access capability, ...

Yep, and it's MINE! Honestly I should have been able to take legal posession of it from that seller since he's displaying it stretched on a widescreen TV, but I bid the absolute most I could afford to ...

Have to say I'm VERY disappointed that someone would pay that much for that disc and not even attempt to share copies of it. I told the Ebay seller to give the buyer my contact info and offered to tra ...

The jukebox these were made for never came out. I don’t know the whole story other than that these discs were made but didn’t go further after that. They all come in blue caddies with no labels. There ...

YouTube would have booted these off so I put them on Archive.org. They are still in proper 60fps frame rate but didn't need to be upscaled to play that way. As there's no streaming device app the best ...

Some of the inside got cleaned and such, I haven't had time to mess with it since I got back but a lesser-used stylus and adjusting one of the pots inside improved the audio at least. I wish I knew th ...

One of the elusive Avon discs went up for bid on Ebay last week, and ended up going for $1025:

The fifth symbol is the letter "E" on every title, which I can't find any difference or variation on, so I can't tell what it represents, and I can't think of any word pertaining to CED that ...

And checking with someone else who says they are getting good sound out of their player, they are using the exact same power transformer I am. Am almost at a loss at this point. Anybody have a verifie ...

I just got another player from the UK, it only took 6 days to get here but it has the SAME problem. Someone on YouTube commented that it may be power-related. Can anyone suggest a power transformer to ...

Capacitors may be the issue, if the audio jacks were bad they would just be cutting the sound out completely. I already have another PAL player on the way from the UK, will be bringing this one to the ...

There's an odd staticky quality to the sound on some of my PAL discs- I uploaded this video but please don't pay attention to the picture as my equipment can't capture PAL video properly, just listen ...

Wish there was more info about the CBS Records pressing plant.

I've wondered how many of these multiple pressings had noticeably different content? I have one copy of Cruising that has a high-pitch ...

The only 2 1986-copyrighted movies on CED were Youngblood and Black Moon Rising.

ET wasn't released on any video format until 1988 and was a big deal when it finally happened, Steven Spielberg had ...

I have Picture Music on VHS and laserdisc also, it's a great compilation. The PAL CED replaces the last song by Steve Miller with one by Lihmal.

RCA's All-Star Country Music Fair was released on VH ...

I've never seen any Fox titles on PAL CED. I do have the early PAL laserdisc of Star Wars but it has rotted so much my player won't even read it. PAL CEDs ran longer and would have been able to fit th ...

Home surround was pretty rare until the later 80s, we got our first system in 1989 in time for the Super Bowl which was broadcast with it (it was the year before also.) Here's what you should know tho ...

Haven't checked this site in a few months, if you still need this I can do it though I can't speak for turnaround time.

I use the Collectorz.com app to catalog my video collection on all formats, and have all my PAL CED titles entered: (I have every known title.)

The format was already dead when that movie took place, and that model player was the oldest. I was interested in getting one then but I held out for one with stereo. The entire movie has a few issues ...

Yep, my organizational skills suck. I don't know of any professionals who live around here who were involved with it, closest maybe would be someone who worked at the local shops. Someone in San Jose ...

I only need about 20 more now, and I do have the service alignment disc Smile

Finally got this Japanese demo disc uploaded- I can hardly understand a word in it but it's pretty funny. Got a few more I'll hopefully upload soon:

I've missed all the CED Workshops in Indianapolis since it would take me a few days to drive there, or fly which I don't really like to do. Being in California (Sacramento), is there anyone else withi ...

I've gotten a bunch of VHD discs from Japan, and have a total of 5 players now including the US model. My experience with them has been that they have a slightly better picture than CED but not as goo ...

Sorry I haven't been on this forum in a while, but I've been getting more into the VHD format, which works similar to CED and was set for release in the US but never actually was, but did make it out ...

I saw a regular CED videodisc with signatures in the same style on it, a few years ago on Ebay- at least part of it still looked playable, I bought it but was promptly refunded as the seller said it h ...

Incidentally, I'm trying to get every UK title but haven't been going at it as aggressively as I was with the US titles. I do have a stereo PAL player and my TV can display it via HDMI, but not the an ...
