Some LD trivia:
- It was the only consumer format that provided standard NTSC/PAL SD video without reformatting. Macrovision didn't work on them either so there's no copy protection.
- Most LD's have digital sound, which literally is CD audio - not just the bitrate but the analog encoding and digital metadata as well.
- The disks were expensive to produce (a dual-sided disk in low/moderate quantity was about $20) and if the glue wasn't done Just Right, the disk would degrade/rot over time. (The majority of surviving disks are just fine today... but some of particular interest to people, like the Domesday disks, aren't!)
