It took a little longer than I would have liked, but my newest video is up for you!  I'm going to do a small series on Laserdisc, and this is the first introductory video.

The video still needs a true thumbnail, some extra info in the description, and captions.  But feel free to take a look at it now!

Laserdisc: An Introduction

You can support this channel on Patreon! Link below Laserdisc seems to get a lot of retro cred these days. It gets featured as a technical oddity, but from today’s perspective, it might seem strange that it didn’t become the de-facto standard. Boasting many of the same features as the modern DVD, you would think it couldn’t possibly have received the cold reception it did. In this series of videos, we’ll find out why. This channel is supported by people like you on Patreon. Patrons of the channel have allowed me to spend more time making videos like this. If you’re interested in helping out, please give my Patreon page a look. Thanks for your consideration. https://www.patreon.com/technologyconnections Thank you to the following Patrons!

A few years too late and way ahead of its time. Sounds like OS/2 warp.

Came to post that another thumbnail might be in order. Then read post. 🤣 Also, 4:55 has a typo; heard instead of head. I'm guessing it's not worth a re-render though :)

Nope, it's definitely not! That typo comes from the Google patent source, actually. I copy-pasted like a useless mong and wasn't too careful with my proofreading. At least I can blame it on an external source!

I remember my first Apex DVD player in high school. Still have it hooked up in the bedroom from when DVDs were a thing haha

Wow, you mentioned dual-layer DVDs and I realized I have no idea how it can work. Although I have some background in physics, it still sounds like a very technologically advanced technology. Do you think it deserves its own video?
