Post by: anhisr on December 09, 2007, 11:07:27 AM: I had one. They look like CDs but, the size of an album. The early ones you had to flip the disc. The later units would play both sides.

Uncompressed Glory!

It's crazy to think about... Can you imagine what an uncompressed video player would look like these days? It would need to have a built-in screen because there would be no outputs, and when you were done watching the movie, it would incinerate the disc. :)
