I remember those laser discs were as big as a small table. Good luck using those in a walkman or car entertainment system lol.

They eventually reappeared as the DVD and then the double-layer Blu-ray. The funny thing about those glossy Blu-ray ads and the immediate need to switch everything over to them: They were so crisp and sharp on DVD. Which meant the DVD's crappy picture quality wasn't the technology lacking, it was disk encoding by the movie companies. They intentionally released low quality products to trick the public into buying everything again.

Another trick was those difficult to use stiff jewel cases which were designed the break the disk if you weren't careful.

Wasn't it becuase the porn industry prefered VHS ?

(I know I know same jewery but still)

Cameras went to high eight pretty quickly which was high enough resolution that it exceeded the television standard at the time. In fact the first Gulf War covered by CNN was filmed with high cameras in the field.

I thought Sony had high licensing fees and JVC's VHS had much lower fees. I thought that was the whole thing....money.

We could've been using memory cards back then but the jews will ride tech to the very end and keep newer stuff from coming out.
