DiscoVision bumpers and dead side 

The spinning spirograph was likely an animation they made after making the animated logo.

I really like watching the spinning snowflake at the beginning! I dragged the scrubber and caught a square with lines drawn through it and a star with a small star and lines going to it; I think I also saw a triangle! I'm sure on the actual disc you could use frame-by-frame advance and see everything (assuming the disc was CAV).

These bumpers were taken from the first batch of Disney films were released on Laserdiscs in 1978 under MCA's DiscoVision such as "At Home With Donald Duck", "On Vacation With Mickey and Friends", "Coyote's Lament", "Kidnapped", "The Misadventures of Chip & Dale", "Kids Is Kids", and others. This was before Walt Disney Home Video was started 2 years later in 1980 with the very first home video release of "Pete's Dragon".

Can we just talk about how beautiful the music is?

The Discovision music was also used by the british company CIC Video in the early 80s, over their warning screen.

Being the owner of several DiscoVision discs, I've seen these, although the beginning of the intro is usually clipped. STAY AWESOME! :)

@Watcher3223 "The need for a clean room environment was identified by engineers but, in an effort to keep manufacturing costs low, was never implemented by MCA." I always wondered why they were so lax as far as keeping the manufacturing environment clean, I always assumed that it was something they hadn't realized to do, considering the infancy of the format then....

The music gives me future funk vibes

@Watcher3223 Yes, I heard someone mention on the internet somewhere that the laserdisc was basically the Edison Cylinder of optical formats. It definitely put laser-read optical storage technology on the map....

What made the "DiscoVision Discs problematic on certain laser disc players? The history of this stuff fascinates me, but I don't know anything. Also thanks for posting these. What fun.

0:04-1:46 cool #spyrograph like designs.

They should have done a version of this logo for MCA Videocassette back in 1980 instead of the boring one, don't you think so?

@Watcher3223 The more modern players skip over the opening logo on DiscoVision discs and the side bumpers, since the frames don't start numbering til they're done. I have a couple discs that let you scan all the way to the beginning anyways.

1:32 - 1:46 discovision.exe has stopped working, LOL

@Watcher3223 don't forget the fact that the turtle is really cute!

I noticed the closing DiscoVision bumper has darker texture than the opening one.

I noticed the slightly different texture between the opening and closing bumpers.

Was this spiral animation and disco Vision logo made by Pixar? But seriously how the heck did they make that back then?

the first half of the logo reminds me of the 1962 nbc laramie peacock

Do you remember the dead side one with the turtle on it's back?

I read somewhere that many early discs could have hair, dead bugs, etc. trapped in the discs because they didn't press them in "Clean Rooms". Is this correct?

VERY impressive site mate.. keep up the good work.. would love to see more info about the original disco vision,, have u seen the leonard nimoy vid, with the talking rock?

0:11 Star!

he means like record the audio alone, and make it as a WAV or AIFF file.

Does a DiscoVision disc play on your DVL-700 flawlessly?

Is the spirograph animation here some kind of loading screen/animation?

So, my CLD-V2600 will probably miss the spiral animation, but it will play the part with the logo and music?

lol.. on the same site,,, not feeling very clever atm,, yeh i checked out that vid like jan this year i think. Thank you for contributing so much to my education of ced/ld/and VHD mate.

You didn't record the Side 3, 4 or 5 bumpers.

Do you have a video of a discvision title played on a non Discovision player? im curious as to what it looks like as I heard it skips the word crawl.

WHAT TURTLE IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT!? >:(

predasisser to the cd player and dvd player

but they are loss-less.

What's the point of making something like this if most systems just skip over it?
