The Recordable Laser Videodisc: A Technical Perspective
Prior to the introduction of a recordable laser videodisc (RLV), the LaserVision format was a playback-only system using replicated videodiscs. The lack of inexpensive, fast-turnaround videodiscs inhibited experimentation and limited the applications for which the videodisc could be used. This introductory article examines the construction, recording process, and quality considerations of the RLV. The RLV has the potential to accelerate the growth of the interactive videodisc industry and create new applications such as videodisc-based editing.
