    i was just wondering....umm... what exactly IS a laserdisc? and will it work on a dvd player? i would assume not since it's called a laserdisc and not a dvd...any help would be much appreciated...the laserdisc set is on crescent-shop and i was contemplating buying it as opposed to the vhs. Thanx!

      Laserdiscs are just that.... laserdiscs. Sometimes called LD. They're a pretty much a mostly dead technology now and never quite caught on in the US as much as it had in Japan. Think of laserdiscs as a predecessor of the DVD. They're about the size of an LP record, thus look just like a giant DVD or CD. To play a laserdisc, you need a laserdisc player.

        They are not exactly caught on in the US, it's just you never use it.
