How does the resolution of CED compare to the VHS, LaserDisc, and DVD video formats?

RCA SelectaVision VideoDisc FAQ
RCA didn't use Lines of Resolution in their CED specifications, but a bandwidth of 3 MHz translates to about 240 Lines, the same resolution as VHS, but less than the 425 Lines of LaserDisc and 500 Lines of DVD. The subjective evaluation of people familiar with all these formats is that CED is better than VHS, but not as good as LaserDisc or DVD.

How Does DVD Quality Compare to VHS or Laserdisc?

M e d i a f o r t e - multimedia
In terms of pure video performance, DVD is superior to VHS and even laserdiscs in every way. DVD offers 720 pixels and 480 lines of horizontal resolution (laserdisc is 425 lines, MPEG-1 320 pixels by 240 lines. In addition, DVD offers far superior color resolution than any other mainstream consumer video formats. This means less video noise and more vibrant color spectrum). Also, like LDs and CDs, DVD discs are much more compact and less prone to wear and tear than VHS tapes

How does MPEG video really compare to TV, VHS, laserdisc ?

MPEG-2 FAQ
VHS picture quality can be achieved for source film video at about 1 million bits per second (with proprietary encoding methods). It is very difficult to objectively compare MPEG to VHS. The response curve of VHS places -3 dB at around 2 MHz of analog luminance bandwidth (equivalent to 200 samples/line). VHS chroma is considerably less dense in the horizontal direction than MPEG source video (compare 80 samples/ line to 176!).

How does the video quality of a DVD recorder compare to a VHS VCR or a standard DVD player?

DVD Photo Slideshow - Convert Photo or picture to DVD, Flash...
DVD recorders can record video in resolutions ranging from DVD quality to VHS quality depending on the recording speed used, somewhat analogous to the different recording speeds on a VCR. Although there is some variation from manufacturer to manufacturer, DVD recorders typically can record in one hour, two hour, four hour, and six hour speeds. The one hour speed will be very close, if not the same, as DVD quality, while the four and six hour speeds will be more like VHS SP and EP respectively.

Back To Top 6 Do you sell VHS as well as DVD video formats?

Ultimate Skate Figure Skating Store
Yes, and No ;-) We can make VHS tapes for those who truly want them, but these will be produced on a case by case basis and will include a $12/video upcharge. The reason why we sell only DVDs is because the high quality of our shooting and editing can not be reproduced by a VHS and we are committed to selling only the best to our customers. Also, the demand for VHS has dropped significantly so we do not produce VHS in mass quantities, thus the upcharge for a VHS copy.

No. Standard DVD players will not play laserdiscs, and you can't play a DVD disc on any standard laserdisc player. (Laserdisc uses analog video, DVD uses digital video; they are very different formats.) However, Pioneer and Samsung have announced combo players that will play laserdiscs and DVDs (and also CDVs and audio CDs). Denon is rumored to have an LD/DVD player in the works also.

I've heard there are special LaserDisc players that can play CED's. Where can I get such a player?

RCA SelectaVision VideoDisc FAQ
I wouldn't call these LaserDisc players, but RCA had a number of laser-based optical readout devices in their plant that were used in conjunction with VideoDiscs. The purpose of these machines was to perform contact-free playback and high-speed optical measurement of masters, stampers, and sample discs. The copper masters were quite reflective, so RCA was able to use an optical readout station to verify they were defect free before making the inverse-replica stampers.
