Videodisc - Jensen's Technology Glossary

Most hypermedia authoring software packages allow for interactive random access of videodiscs. NeXt users can control videodiscs from the Xanthus Craftman. One of the best buys for less than $1,000 is the MDP-1700R Multi Disc Player from Sony that plays different size discs and has an auto reverse feature that allows viewing and searching on both sides of the disc without having to turn the disc over in the playback machine. Videodiscs are likely to be overtaken by CD-DVD discs that will hold both video and data files. (See also CD-DVD, Bar codes, CAV, CLV, Delta Project, Videodisc-digital, CD, Titles, and CD-I)
