RECORDABLE ‘Laserdisc’ - Sony CRVdisc

Recordable ‘Laserdisc’ wasn’t sold to the public but really did exist and I've got one to show you.
This video features Sony CRVdisc - a 12" Recordable Laser Videodisc system designed for professional use. Destined to be thrown away in a skip* but rescued for one last job.

Thanks to Dave & Ken on Patreon for their help with this one.
Special thanks to Paul for donating (and delivering) the machine and discs.

Predicted ‘correction’
You might have noticed that the specs for the LVR-5000 show it could record 43,500 stills - whereas in the video I mentioned my LVR-6000 recorded 36,250 stills. Yep both facts are true and accurate. I don’t know why the LVR-6000 recorded fewer stills than its predecessor- but it did. I checked the disc and it only goes up to 36,501 (the first recordable frame is number 1).

Real corrections and Addendums.
The CRVplayer I mentioned that didn’t sell on eBay wasn’t £15 - it was £25

Clarification:
As we all know - CD-Rs can be written in multi sessions as long as they aren’t finalised.
