Videodisc

Videodisc and VHS cassette

Videodisc (or video disc) is a general term for a laser- or stylus-readable random-access disc that contains both audio and analog video signals recorded in an analog form. Typically, it is a reference to any such media that predates the mainstream popularity of the DVD format. The first mainstream official Videodisc was the Television Electronic Disc (TED) Videodisc, and the newest is Ultra HD Blu-ray. As of 2026, the active video disc formats are DVD, Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray. In some regions, Video CD (VCD) and Super Video CD (SVCD) are still manufactured.
