You definitely need a real LaserDisc player for this. You must be thinking of the old, OLD, funny looking green "Video Discs". Those were analog. The "Laser Discs" that just look like large 12" CD's are indeed fully digital, both audio and video. Laser Discs are still big in the education area because they are used to hold a humungous number of easily accessable still pictures (when used with a special Laser Disc player with bar-code reader and barcoded image index), video clips (of course), and other neat interactive stuff. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
