RCA Selectavision CED player and 72 movies! Woohoo!

My brief memories of seeing CED are that it may have looked slightly better than VHS on average but it had artifacts such as snivets in the image and was prone to skipping.

Laser Disc was the gold standard for home video back then and remained so until DVD came along but it never really took off with the general public, probably because it was rather expensive.

VHS did one thing very well and that was when the came out with Hi-Fi sound, it was a terrific Audio format!

We had a local radio station that started staying on the air for 24hrs a day and used VHS tapes for their overnight programming. They said it was a cheap and easy way to go automated. The tapes held 6 hours of stuff and in stereo.

Watching these discs has been a real treat. I've gone through about 75% of them.

Do you experience much skipping? That was not much of a problem in the one that I had but "results will vary".

A little. Nothing major. Just had a little trouble with my Superman III but i know why that one was a pain. Someone tried to clean one side. I think i have an idea on how to fix it though.
