Whats a RCA SelectaVision videodisc, you ask? Its a very large primitive version of the UMD. Escentally it is a LP, bout the size of a Laserdisc, that is inside a chasy, and a caddie. The disc is read by a Stylus. When you go to play a disc, you stick the whole movie in the machine "caddie and all" the player removes the movie disc and spits the caddie back to you.
The Pros-
The Discs featured a chapter system (later used in DVDs), which would skip to a certain selected point of the movie (each movie had 63 chapters per side). Interactive Discs would have you program the player to play random chapters, the expected resault is a totaly new story each time you watch.
The cons-
The Movies had a Limited Capacity, 30-60 minutes per side. the Disc needed to be flipped at the 60 minute mark. the Discs had a total of 2hr total time limit. As movies got longer, multiple discs were needed for the whole movie (the Movie the karate Kid is a perfect example). Also the discs would wear out after like 500 plays, and get all skippy.
This is what a common CED disc looks like.
