Fair enough; I didn't go hunting around for my discs to check the order of "video" and "CD" in the moniker. "Video-CD" was widely used in China long after DVDs came out, lasting almost until the HD era (when the Chinese attempted to introduce their own HD disc format that still used a red (insert "communist" wisecrack here) laser. I always thought that those Chinese discs were CD-I, which failed miserably in... well, everywhere else. But in fact CD-I was a bastardization of Video CD that was incompatible, although it offered slightly higher (but still crappy) resolution. In the end, the format that prevailed all those years in the east was presumably Video-CD. Oh yeah, I have a few examples of yet another obscure disc variation: the 8-inch LaserDisc. If I remember correctly, I have "I Want to Break Free" and "Radio Ga-Ga" by Queen, and "Salt in My Tears" by Martin Briley. The back sides of those are opaque white plastic.
