High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Videodisc (or video disc) is a general term for a laser- or stylus-readable random-access circular disc that contains both audio and video signals recorded in an analog form. Unlike the battles between VHS and Betamax, there was no serious format war between early video disc formats as the LaserDisc proved to be technologically superior to all challengers of its time. Even the LaserDisc, though, failed to achieve much market traction against videotape, due to the latter's ability to allow consumer recording. Only with the introduction of the modern DVD format did a disc technology take hold for video. The modern DVD format also had little competition; only the short-lived DIVX format (not to be confused with the DivX video codec).
