LaserDisc or (LD) is a home video format and the first commercial optical disc storage medium (also known as simply "DiscoVision") in North America in 1978. Years ago, long before the dawn of the DVD or Blu-ray formats, consumer video was strictly all-analog, from the very first broadcasts right up to the introduction of the LaserDisc. The 12-inch, double-sided LaserDisc looked like a giant CD, but the video was analog encoded on two single-sided aluminum discs layered in plastic.

One of the tell-tale signs you're a 'home cinema hero' is that you 'still have a LaserDisc player, somewhere...' And, indeed, to AV geeks of a certain vintage, the mere word conjures up cherished memories of that unmistakable whooshing sound as the big and beautiful medium – think CD, enlarged to LP size – was brought up to speed within the sizeable slab of a player.

LaserDisc owners knew they were in for a movie-watching treat, with CD-quality stereo sound accompanied by visuals that rivalled broadcast quality. In the era of standard-def analogue telly and 4:3 CRT TVs, you couldn't get better at home.

LaserDisc devotees also took for granted features that the VHS-buying masses would only be in a position to appreciate come the DVD revolution – such as chaptered access to sections, frame-by-frame analysis, freedom from wear, 5.1 surround sound and bonus material like director's commentaries and featurettes. It was simply light years ahead of its time.
